Up until now we had only driven the all-new GranTurismo in all-electric, 750bhp Folgore form. However, ever since development started in 2017, Maserati planned for this new generation GT to house both petrol and electric powertrains.
Clearly a huge amount of effort went into the firm's first EV, with massive power and fancy 800V architecture for rapid charging times, but there's big changes for the combustion-engined iteration too. The headline here is that the GranTurismo is no longer powered by the sonorous old V8 developed in conjunction with Ferrari. In its place is Maserati's own 3.0-litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6 that has already been put to work in the MC20 supercar.
It'll come with two different power outputs - 483bhp in entry level Modena spec or 542bhp in this top spec Trofeo. It uses a wet sump as opposed to the MC20's dry sump, but there is still the Maserati Twin Combustion tech derived from F1 engines. Simply speaking the fuel is ignited in a separate 'pre-chamber' before the whole chemistry lesson transfers to the traditional combustion chamber, making for faster reactions and more efficient combustion.
