Maserati Unveils Unified 'Shark Nose' Front End Across Entire Lineup, Upgrades GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale

Maserati has officially launched the 2023 model-year updates for the GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale—marking the first time the brand has achieved full front-end design uniformity across its lineup. All three models now feature the iconic 'Shark Nose' front fascia, borrowed directly from the flagship MC20 supercar. This move represents Maserati’s most systematic family-design integration since launching its ‘FaSTLAne 2030’ strategy.

Previously, the GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale each sported distinct front-end designs, resulting in visual fragmentation. With this update, all three adopt the same aerodynamic body kit derived from the MC20—enhancing visual identity while improving high-speed downforce and reducing drag coefficient. Maserati confirms the design has undergone multiple wind-tunnel validations, balancing aesthetics with engineering performance.

Powertrain upgrades are pragmatic and precise. The Trofeo variants of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio now feature the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 'Nettuno' engine, with peak output rising from 550 to 590 horsepower. 0–100 km/h acceleration improves to 3.5 seconds (GranTurismo Trofeo) and 3.6 seconds (GranCabrio Trofeo), with top speeds reaching 320 km/h and 316 km/h respectively.

The all-electric GranTurismo Folgore and GranCabrio Folgore receive a key evolution: a new intelligent AWD disconnect system that automatically decouples the front motor during daily commuting—significantly cutting energy consumption. As a result, range increases by 90 km: the GranTurismo Folgore jumps from 450 km to 540 km, and the GranCabrio Folgore rises from 419 km to 509 km. Power remains unchanged at 760 hp and 1,350 N·m, while 0–100 km/h acceleration is slightly adjusted to 2.8 seconds (from 2.7 seconds)—a clear implementation of the 'range-first' philosophy.

The Grecale lineup expands as well: two new variants—the 390-hp V6 and V6 Modena—bring the 3.0L 'Nettuno' engine into the mid-tier trim, bridging the performance gap between the base 2.0L turbo-four (250/300 hp) and the top-tier Trofeo (530 hp). Its all-electric Grecale Folgore variant also sees range boosted to 580 km. The current Grecale’s Chinese MSRP ranges from ¥650,000 to ¥1,040,000; pricing for the updated models is expected to remain broadly similar.

The launch event also sent a strong signal: a new E-segment sedan is under development to succeed the discontinued Ghibli and Quattroporte. This will be Maserati’s first sedan in three years—and underscores its strategic pivot from consolidation to expansion under the ‘FaSTLAne 2030’ framework. By 2030, the brand plans to introduce two additional E-segment models. The updated trio is now available for order in Europe, with China deliveries expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
