This is the all-new Maserati GranTurismo Folgore!
It marks a significant milestone as Maserati's first fully electric vehicle, embodying the brand's commitment to luxury and performance in the electric era. "Folgore," meaning "lightning" in Italian, aptly reflects the car's electrifying capabilities.
The GranTurismo Folgore maintains Maserati's iconic design language, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette with a low stance. Up front, you’ll find the usual large grille, flanked by sharp LED headlights. The sculpted bodywork and distinctive trident emblem on the front and rear further emphasise its luxury sports car heritage. Step around to the rear, and no fakery can be found here. It all looks smart and elegant, as you’d expect.
Inside, the GranTurismo Folgore is doused in soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout the cabin. There are two screens in the centre of the dash - one housing the infotainment system, and another for managing the climate controls. The seats are comfortable and premium, and the steering wheel's physical buttons allow the driver to easily control functions.
At the heart of the GranTurismo Folgore is a sophisticated electric powertrain comprising three motors—two at the rear and one at the front—delivering a combined output of 751hp. This setup enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, showcasing its impressive performance capabilities. The 83kWh battery allows for a range of up to 280 miles on a single charge.
But of course, it doesn’t come cheap! The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore costs around £180,000 - a whole lot more than a petrol-powered GranTurismo. But is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself.
