GranTurismo
Italian thunder with a Nettuno heart — the grand tourer Modena still makes · 4 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTODuren Williams / PexelsOur verdict
7.6 / 10The reborn GranTurismo is a genuine comeback story — Maserati's new 3.0L twin-turbo Nettuno V6 (derived from the MC20 supercar's engine) is spectacular, and the sleek, low-slung body is one of the most beautiful things on UAE roads. Starting at AED 689k, the Modena is positioned against the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin Vantage, offering Italian drama at a slightly lower entry point. The Folgore electric variant at AED 979k is a genuine performance statement with 760 hp and a sub-3-second 0-100. The caveat, as ever with Maserati: resale values are soft and the service network is thin compared to German rivals. Buyers accept these trade-offs willingly, because nothing else sounds or looks quite like a GranTurismo.
Who it's for — Image-conscious buyers who want Italian style and a sonorous twin-turbo V6 — or the brave early adopter drawn to the Folgore's EV performance. Not for those who prioritise resale value or breadth of UAE service network.
