The GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello: Luxury & Innovation

What happened in September 2024:

From September 12 to 15, Maserati made waves at the prestigious Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille event, unveiling its first fully electric luxury cabriolet, the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello. Set against the stunning backdrop of the historic Domaine du Château de Chantilly, this event brought together automotive excellence, haute couture and Italian sophistication.

Renowned for its celebration of artistry and innovation, the Chantilly event provided the perfect stage for Maserati's latest masterpiece—a car designed to redefine the future of electric luxury vehicles.

The GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello is a testament to Maserati's heritage, fused with modern electric technology and timeless Italian craftsmanship.

Inspired by Marchesi Antinori's legacy

The GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello draws inspiration from Marchesi Antinori, one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious winemaking families.

Maserati's collaboration with Antinori celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic Tignanello wine, a symbol of innovation and tradition—values that align seamlessly with Maserati's ethos.

Having first debuted at the Festival Napa Valley in California, the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello captivated audiences with its elegance and exclusivity. The model later headlined the 2024 Arts for All Gala in the US, where it was auctioned as a one-of-a-kind collector's gem.

Its European appearance at Chantilly only solidified its status as an extraordinary tribute to Italian craftsmanship and innovation.

Italian craftsmanship at its finest

In collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, Maserati crafted the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello to epitomise luxury, precision and a futuristic vision. It was developed under Maserati's Fuoriserie customisation program, which allows clients to create bespoke vehicles that reflect their personal tastes and desires.

Giovanni Perosino, Chief Marketing & Communication Officer, Maserati stated: 

"This car is the greatest interpretation of the brand's identity and of a DNA that has always been devoted to innovation."

He further highlighted the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello as the pinnacle of Italian luxury and bespoke creativity, showcasing Maserati's unwavering commitment to global innovation.

To elevate the experience further, the event featured the Terrazza Italiana by Giorgetti, an iconic Italian design company. Giorgetti collaborated with Maserati to curate a sophisticated display area, creating an immersive environment for attendees to admire the GranCabrio Folgore amidst a stunning selection of classic and modern automobiles.

Exclusive test drives and wine tastings

Maserati treated select journalists and distinguished guests to exclusive test drives of its latest lineup, including models such as the GranTurismo, GranCabrio Trofeo, Folgore, MC20 Cielo and Grecale Folgore.

Each test drive offered a firsthand experience of Maserati's dedication to performance, innovation and elegance.

Complementing the automotive showcase, participants indulged in a curated wine-tasting session by Marchesi Antinori. The unique pairing of Italian winemaking heritage with Maserati's luxury automotive prowess created an unforgettable blend of tradition and modernity.

Highlighting the Concours d'Etat

The Chantilly Arts & Elegance event culminated with the Concours d'Etat, a showcase of 100 exceptional cars and passionate collectors from around the globe. Among the standout entries were several classic Maseratis, including the Maserati A6G54 by Frua and Zagato, the Maserati 5000GT and the iconic Maserati Quattroporte.

The GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello took centre stage, turning heads as a striking embodiment of Maserati's unique ability to blend its storied legacy with cutting-edge electric technology. Its presence reaffirmed the brand's position as a leader in the luxury automotive world.

The Pinnacle of Maserati's Fuoriserie Program

The GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello represents the pinnacle of Maserati's Fuoriserie program, a platform that redefines personalisation in luxury automotive design. Combining advanced electric performance with impeccable Italian aesthetics, the car encapsulates Maserati's commitment to innovation and its ability to deliver tailor-made automotive masterpieces.

With its unmistakable design, refined materials and unparalleled creativity, the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello stands as a true celebration of Italian excellence. Maserati continues to honour its heritage while boldly shaping the future of luxury driving.
