Maserati’s GranCabrio Shines at The I.C.E. St. Moritz

In the realm of high-performance luxury automobiles, Maserati has long held a place of distinction. This year, under the glistening winter sun of the Engadin Valley, the brand reaffirmed its status as an icon of Italian craftsmanship and innovation. At The I.C.E. St. Moritz—an event that blends automotive excellence with winter’s refined glamour—Maserati introduced the latest evolution of its GranCabrio range, unveiling both a new 490 CV variant and an extraordinary one-off GranCabrio Trofeo ONE of ONE – THE I.C.E.. These additions further elevate the brand’s offering, combining elegance, power, and an uncompromising driving experience. For decades, the GranCabrio has embodied the spirit of open-air Italian grand touring, blending dynamic performance with the timeless appeal of a convertible. The latest iteration, powered by a 3.0-litre V6 Nettuno Twin Turbo engine, brings 490 CV to the road, offering the perfect fusion of comfort and exhilaration. Sharing its powertrain with the acclaimed GranTurismo, the GranCabrio takes this experience further by delivering the same level of refinement with the freedom of open-top driving. This new version reaches 300 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds. Standard all-wheel drive and air suspension ensure that no matter the conditions, whether winding through alpine passes or gliding along coastal roads; the drive remains poised, controlled, and rewarding. As Maserati continues to refine its grand tourer lineup, the GranCabrio range now offers three distinct powertrains: The 490 CV V6 Nettuno Twin Turbo, delivering exceptional power with balanced refinement. The 550 CV GranCabrio Trofeo, for those who seek even more performance. The all-electric GranCabrio Folgore, showcasing Maserati’s forward-thinking vision of high-performance luxury mobility. The expanded lineup ensures that every enthusiast can find the perfect GranCabrio to suit their driving style, whether embracing the thrill of internal combustion or the quiet intensity of electric power.

While the new GranCabrio already captivated onlookers in St. Moritz, the true centrepiece of the event was the one-of-a-kind GranCabrio Trofeo ONE of ONE – THE I.C.E.. Created as part of Maserati’s Fuoriserie customisation programme, this bespoke model was designed to embody the spirit of winter luxury. The Ice Liquid tri-coat paint, developed specifically for this model, captures the essence of the frozen lake on which it was first revealed. The striking gloss white side air intakes and forged Astreo wheels with blue brake calipersaccentuate its sculpted form, while the Blue Marine soft-top adds an elegant contrast. Inside, the cabin is adorned in ice-coloured perforated leather with 3D carbon-fibre finishes, mirroring the crisp beauty of a winter landscape. With its personalised details and exclusive one-off status, the GranCabrio Trofeo ONE of ONE – THE I.C.E.represents the pinnacle of Maserati’s bespoke craftsmanship. It is a car not only built for performance but tailored for those who demand true individuality.

The I.C.E. St. Moritz is more than just an automotive showcase; it is a stage where heritage, design, and performance come together against a breathtaking Alpine backdrop. Maserati’s participation in this prestigious gathering underlined its commitment to offering high-performance luxury vehicles that can excel in even the most challenging environments. With all-wheel drive as standard across the GranCabrio range, these convertibles proved that they are not merely warm-weather indulgences but machines engineered to perform in all seasons. From the frozen lake to the snow-draped roads of the Swiss Alps, the GranCabrio demonstrated its dynamic capability with poise and precision. Alongside the GranCabrio and GranTurismo models, Maserati showcased its racing DNA with the track-inspired MCXtrema and the new GT2 Stradale. Meanwhile, the Grecale SUV brought Maserati’s vision of daily luxury performance to the streets of St. Moritz. For classic car enthusiasts, the brand also presented two icons from its storied past: the Maserati 6CM and Maserati 200 SI, both taking part in the International Concours of Elegance. Their presence was a reminder of Maserati’s rich racing history and its continuous pursuit of technical excellence.

Maserati’s unveiling at The I.C.E. St. Moritz was a testament to its enduring vision: to create cars that blend high-performance engineering with the finest Italian craftsmanship. The expansion of the GranCabrio lineup ensures that this legacy continues, offering unparalleled driving pleasure with an unmistakable sense of style.
