Open-Air Excellence: Driving the Maserati GranCabrio in Newport Beach

Newport Beach is one of Southern California’s most breathtaking driving destinations. From the Pacific Coast Highway to the winding roads above Newport Hills, this city rewards drivers who appreciate open-air performance. Few vehicles are more at home here than the Maserati GranCabrio.

The Maserati GranCabrio is the Italian automaker’s flagship convertible. It is built on the same platform as the GranTurismo and carries a refined elegance that makes every drive feel like an event. Available in both the combustion-powered Trofeo and the fully electric Folgore, the GranCabrio gives drivers the freedom to choose the experience that fits their lifestyle. With a retractable fabric roof that folds in just fourteen seconds, the transition from enclosed grand tourer to open-air sports car is effortless. The tri-layer soft top is engineered for both aesthetics and acoustic insulation, so wind noise stays minimal even at highway speeds.

The GranCabrio Trofeo is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine producing 550 horsepower. Acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour takes just 3.6 seconds. The GranCabrio Folgore, the all-electric variant, produces 818 horsepower from three electric motors and offers a near-silent but deeply exhilarating drive along Newport Beach’s coastal roads. Whether you are cruising Pacific Coast Highway with the top down or carving through the curves above Fashion Island, the GranCabrio delivers a driving experience that is as dramatic as the scenery around it. The all-wheel drive system ensures confident handling on every type of road surface Newport Beach and Orange County have to offer.

Inside the GranCabrio, the cabin is a study in Italian luxury. Premium leather upholstery, genuine wood and aluminum trim, and hand-stitched details reflect Maserati’s long heritage of bespoke craftsmanship. The GranCabrio seats four adults in exceptional comfort, making it an ideal choice for both solo drives and weekend escapes.

The infotainment system is centered around a large touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a premium Sonus faber audio system. LED headlamps combine with available features, including a heads-up display and 360-degree camera system, to round out a feature set designed for drivers who refuse to compromise on either style or safety. Buyers exploring the full range of available configurations can also review current new vehicle specials to find the right fit at the right value.
