1. The Canadian Debut: Maserati GT2 Stradale
If there is one vehicle at the 2026 show that bridges the gap between the circuit and the street, it is the Maserati GT2 Stradale. Born directly from the DNA of Maserati’s championship-winning GT2 race car, the Stradale is a road-legal masterpiece that refuses to compromise.
Track-Bred Engineering
The GT2 Stradale is built upon a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, ensuring extreme rigidity and lightweight performance. However, the heart of the beast is the most powerful iteration of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6 ever put into a road car.
- Horsepower: 631 hp
- Top Speed: 324 km/h (201 mph)
- 0–100 km/h: A blistering 2.8 seconds
Aerodynamics and Handling
The GT2 Stradale isn't just about straight-line speed; it’s about mastery of the corners. Its aerodynamic package has been uniquely tuned to generate significant downforce, keeping the car glued to the asphalt during high-speed maneuvers. With carbon-ceramic brakes and a double-wishbone suspension, the Stradale offers a technical, pure-bred driving experience for the most discerning Canadian enthusiasts.
2. The New Standard for SUVs: Maserati Grecale Modena V6
Making its first appearance on Canadian soil, the Grecale Modena V6 is designed to be the "everyday exceptional" vehicle for the North American market. In a country where road conditions can vary from sun-drenched highways to snow-covered urban streets, the Grecale Modena V6 offers a tailored solution.
F1-Inspired Performance
The Modena V6 features a specially mapped version of the Nettuno V6 engine, utilizing patented pre-chamber combustion technology derived from Formula 1.
- Power Output: 385 hp and 368 lb.-ft. of torque.
- Drivetrain: Advanced on-demand all-wheel-drive system.
- Versatility: Engineered specifically to handle Canada’s diverse seasonal changes.
Luxury Meets Utility
Inside, the Grecale Modena V6 moves away from the utilitarian feel of many luxury SUVs, offering a "richly executed" interior. Built in Cassino, Italy, it balances generous cargo capacity with the intuitive technology required for modern life in motion. It is the perfect blend of Italian craftsmanship and the practical needs of the competitive North American SUV segment.
3. The Art of the Grand Tour: Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo
For those who believe the journey is just as important as the destination, the GranCabrio Trofeo is the ultimate expression of open-air luxury.
Performance Specifications
The GranCabrio Trofeo shares the spirit of the Nettuno engine, tuned here to deliver a smooth yet powerful 542 hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Convertible Experience
- Seating: True four-seater capacity, allowing for shared experiences.
- Suspension: Advanced air suspension and refined chassis tuning for a seamless transition from spirited driving to long-distance cruising.
- Design: A driver-focused cockpit that prioritizes ergonomics without sacrificing the aesthetic elegance Maserati is known for.
