The wait is finally over for Indian luxury car lovers. The legendary Maserati GranTurismo has made a grand comeback to Indian shores. After a long break, the second generation of this iconic grand tourer is now available in India, and it brings a massive surprise. For the first time ever, you can buy this Italian beauty not just with a roaring petrol engine, but also as a fully electric supercar.

This launch is a big deal because it mixes classic Italian design with future-ready technology. Whether you want the sound of a V6 engine or the silent speed of an electric motor, the new 2026 GranTurismo has something for every super-rich buyer in India.

Engine and Performance: Petrol vs. Electric

The biggest talking point of the 2026 GranTurismo is what lies under the hood. Maserati is offering two very different experiences.

The Petrol Power (Nettuno V6)

The petrol versions (Modena and Trofeo) ditch the old V8 engine for a new, high-tech 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine called the “Nettuno.” This is the same engine found in the MC20 supercar.

• Modena Variant: Produces 490 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
• Trofeo Variant: This is the faster version. It pumps out 550 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.

The Electric Beast (Folgore)

“Folgore” means lightning in Italian, and this car lives up to the name. It is Maserati’s first-ever electric car in India.

• Power: It uses three electric motors (one in the front, two in the back) to generate a massive 761 horsepower.
• Speed: It is faster than the petrol version, rocketing from 0 to 100 km/h in a mind-bending 2.7 seconds.
• Range: It comes with a 92.5 kWh battery that claims a driving range of about 450 km on a full charge. Plus, with 800V fast charging, you can add 100 km of range in just 5 minutes.

Design: Timeless Beauty

Maserati has kept the design “evolutionary,” meaning they didn’t change what was already perfect. The car looks stunning with its long bonnet, low nose, and the classic Trident logo on the grille.

Even the electric Folgore looks almost exactly like the petrol version. Maserati did not want it to look like a “weird science project.” It keeps the classic sports car shape, but with special aerodynamic wheels and different badging.

Key Design Highlights:

• Vertical headlights that look modern and sharp.
• Classic triple air vents on the side fenders.
• Flush door handles for a cleaner look.
• 20-inch wheels at the front and larger 21-inch wheels at the back for better grip.

Interior and Features

Inside, the car is a massive upgrade from the old model. It feels modern, expensive, and tech-heavy.

• Triple Screens: There is a 12.3-inch digital dashboard for the driver, a 12.3-inch central touchscreen for maps and music, and a smaller 8.8-inch screen below it to control the AC and seats.
• Digital Clock: The famous Maserati clock on the dashboard is now digital and can be changed to show a compass or a stopwatch.
• Sound System: It features a premium Sonus Faber audio system for concert-hall sound quality.
• Space: It is a “2+2” coupe, meaning it has two small seats in the back. While not huge, they are usable for children or short trips.

Rivals in India

The 2026 Maserati GranTurismo enters a tough market. It competes directly with some of the best cars in the world:

• Ferrari Roma: More expensive, but carries the prancing horse badge.
• Porsche 911: The benchmark for handling and reliability.
• Bentley Continental GT: Focuses more on luxury than pure speed.
• Aston Martin Vantage: Another British rival with stunning looks.

However, the GranTurismo Folgore (EV) currently has no direct rival in India. There is no other electric 2-door luxury coupe in this price range yet, giving Maserati a unique advantage.
