Maserati GranTurismo Folgore: Italian GT Goes Electric

Maserati has chosen an unconventional path to electrification. While most manufacturers start with an SUV, Maserati’s first electric vehicle is the GranTurismo Folgore — a grand tourer that maintains the elegance and character of its gasoline-powered counterpart.

Three electric motors — one front, two rear — produce a combined 751 horsepower and 996 lb-ft of torque. The 92.5 kWh battery is arranged in a T-shape along the central tunnel to maintain the low seating position essential to the GT character.

The Folgore retains the classic Maserati long-hood proportions, with the battery placement enabling a lower center of gravity than the V6 variant. The interior features sustainable materials including Econyl regenerated nylon, made from recycled fishing nets.

With a starting price around $200,000, the Folgore is positioned against the Porsche Taycan Turbo and upcoming electric offerings. It proves that Italian passion can survive the electric transition.
