The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is an impressive all-electric grand tourer that combines stunning performance with classic Italian design. It features a powerful three-motor setup that produces 751 horsepower and 996 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph. The Folgore is built on the same platform as the internal combustion engine GranTurismo, but Maserati has managed to integrate the electric powertrain seamlessly.
The car’s 92.5 kWh battery offers a claimed range of 275 miles, with real-world tests showing it can achieve around 250 miles on a single charge. It also supports fast charging at up to 270 kW, allowing it to charge from 10 to 80 percent in less than 20 minutes. Despite its nearly 2.3-ton weight, the Folgore’s electric powertrain and torque vectoring technology make it remarkably agile on the road.
Electric performance and Italian prowess
The car offers three driving modes: GT, Sport, and Corsa, each providing a different level of performance and driving dynamics. The Folgore’s interior is modern and stylish, with twin touchscreens and comfortable seats that make it an excellent choice for long-distance travel.
However, some of the interior components are shared with lower-tier Stellantis products, which may detract from its high-end appeal. While the Folgore represents a significant step forward for Maserati as it transitions to an all-electric future, there are still some areas for improvement. The touchscreens can be unresponsive and frustrating to use, and the overall interior quality may not meet the expectations of some buyers in this price range.
Despite these issues, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is a compelling electric grand tourer that combines exceptional performance with classic Italian style. As Maserati continues to develop its electric lineup, the Folgore sets a high bar for what’s to come.
