From July 12 to 25, 2026, Maserati held an exclusive Driving Experience in Trieste, Italy, for over 100 journalists from around the world. The event served as the dynamic debut for the updated GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and Grecale, with routes along the Adriatic coast, the Collio hills, and the Karst countryside. Participants drove on sections of the historic Trieste-Opicina hill climb, which Maserati won three times in the 1950s and 1960s.

The 530-hp Grecale Trofeo V6 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h and reaches a top speed of 285 km/h.

“A border city and cultural crossroads, Trieste provided the ideal backdrop for the dynamic debut of our three new models. On these roads, steeped in legendary motorsport history, our guests experienced firsthand what Maserati’s vision of 'Italian Gran Turismo' means today.”
— Santo Ficili, Alfa Romeo and Maserati CEO
