Maserati has once again demonstrated its dominance in the luxury sports car segment as the GranTurismo Trofeo and GranTurismo Folgore claim Car and Driver’s prestigious 2025 Editors' Choice Awards. These models secured top spots in the ‘Luxury Sports Car’ and ‘Electric Luxury Sports Car’ categories, respectively, highlighting Maserati’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and performance.
A Benchmark in Automotive Excellence
Each year, Car and Driver meticulously evaluates nearly 500 models across 45 different market segments to identify the best vehicles available for purchase. This process includes rigorous on-road and track testing, value assessment, and mission fulfillment analysis. The 2025 Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo and Folgore stood out in their respective categories, earning their place on the automotive industry's "honor roll."
The GranTurismo Trofeo embodies the spirit of a high-performance grand tourer, combining Italian luxury with thrilling speed. Featuring a powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine with Formula One-derived pre-chamber combustion technology, the Trofeo variant offers an unmatched driving experience.
On the other hand, the GranTurismo Folgore represents Maserati’s bold foray into the electric luxury sports car segment. Boasting an advanced 800-volt battery system and three 300-kW permanent magnet motors, the Folgore delivers a staggering 760 horsepower to all four wheels. Designed with an innovative "t-bone" battery layout, it maintains the sleek proportions and driving dynamics of its internal combustion engine counterpart while providing exhilarating electric performance.
Luxury Meets Performance
Maserati has seamlessly blended luxury and performance in the 2025 GranTurismo lineup. Developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena, both models epitomize Italian craftsmanship and sophistication. With meticulous attention to detail and cutting-edge technology, these grand tourers offer unparalleled comfort and driving pleasure.
Andrea Soriani, General Manager of Maserati North America, expressed his pride in the recognition, stating, "We are honored to receive these prestigious awards from such a respected automotive authority like Car and Driver. The modern GranTurismo perfectly encapsulates Maserati’s core elements of elegant design, incredible performance, and unwavering dedication to Italian excellence."
