Maserati Makes Electric Debut at Monaco Yacht Show 2024

The Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) 2024 is a thrilling showcase of luxury, with Maserati making its much anticipated debut at this prestigious event. Held from September 25 to 28, this 33rd edition of MYS, under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, is an attraction for those who revel in the world of luxury yachts, comfort, and cutting-edge innovation. Set in the glamorous Port Hercule, MYS attracts more than 560 exhibitors and a fleet of over 120 super yachts, making it a definitive stop for the global maritime elite.

For Maserati, the MYS offers the perfect stage to introduce two of its latest innovations in electric mobility – the TRIDENTE powerboat and the GranCabrio Folgore. These two all-electric creations embody the brand’s commitment to sustainability, style, and performance.

TRIDENTE: Maserati’s Electrifying Step into Yachting

The Maserati TRIDENTE is a foray into the world of electric marine technology, crafted in collaboration with Vita Power, a company renowned for high-performance electric powertrains. The TRIDENTE powerboat measures 10.5 metres and boasts an impressive 600 hp output, making it a powerful force on water. With a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of 40 knots, this day boat is designed for both leisure and performance.

The TRIDENTE is constructed using carbon fiber for an exceptionally light yet durable build, making it not just fast, but also elegant. It is meticulously crafted by the artisans at Hodgdon Yachts, a US-based boatbuilder with over 200 years of experience, specialising in super yacht tenders. This powerboat can accommodate up to 10 passengers, providing a luxurious experience on the water, and it recharges on direct current in under an hour, making it as practical as it is sophisticated.

GranCabrio Folgore: Electric Elegance on Four Wheels

While Maserati’s TRIDENTE makes waves on water, its GranCabrio Folgore is set to steal hearts on land. The Folgore is Maserati’s first 100% electric luxury convertible, equipped with state-of-the-art 800-V technology, representing a new era in automotive excellence. This car combines the unmistakable elegance of Italian design with unparalleled performance.

The GranCabrio Folgore’s Rose Gold exterior, complemented by a Titan Grey canvas soft top and a sophisticated ECONYL® Denim and Ice interior, sets a new standard for luxury. The convertible’s retractable soft top offers the perfect open-air driving experience, making it ideal for long-distance journeys without sacrificing comfort. Space for four full-sized seats ensures practicality balanced with indulgence.

Underneath the bonnet, three powerful 300-kW permanent magnet motors deliver thrilling acceleration, taking the Folgore from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. With a top speed of 290 km/h, the car embodies the performance and craftsmanship Maserati is known for. Importantly, the Folgore is designed with sustainability in mind, featuring energy-saving strategies that help it achieve a range of 447 km (WLTP cycle).

Maserati at the Forefront of Sustainable Luxury

Maserati’s participation at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024 marks an exciting new chapter for the brand as it embraces the electric future while maintaining its signature luxury and performance. By showcasing the TRIDENTE powerboat and GranCabrio Folgore, the brand demonstrates its innovative spirit, offering discerning customers an eco-conscious alternative without compromising on style or performance.

As Maserati continues to break new ground in both automotive and marine luxury, its presence at MYS 2024 sets a new benchmark for what’s possible when tradition meets cutting-edge technology.
