Maserati made a grand entrance at the prestigious Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille 2024, marking its first-ever appearance at the automobile/fashion event. Held annually at the beautiful Domaine du Château de Chantilly in Oise, France, the event is a unique celebration of luxury, combining the finest in automotive design with haute couture fashion.
Since 2014, the festival has attracted car enthusiasts, collectors, and design aficionados from all over the world, eager to witness the convergence of the most prestigious names in luxury and craftsmanship.
Maserati's debut was spectacular, as the Italian brand displayed the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello, an all-electric luxury cabriolet created in collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, one of Italy's best-known winemaking families.

The GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello represents a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional Italian craftsmanship, mirroring the values shared by both Maserati and Antinori. The Tignanello name is a tribute to one of Italy's most famous wines, produced by Marchesi Antinori.
This collaboration brings together the world of fine wine and luxury automotive design, with the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello reflecting the bold character and rich history that both brands are known for.
The car made its first appearance earlier in 2024 at the Festival Napa Valley in California, where it was auctioned during the Arts for All Gala, one of the most prominent charity events supporting arts and education in the U.S.
