Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, 100% electric sports car

After a long wait and numerous advances, Maserati has presented the second generation of the GranTurismo. Its Folgore version is called to become the first 100% electric model of the Italian firm, as it will hit the market before the Grecale Folgore SUV. Later it will have a convertible body called GranCabrio.

Aesthetically, the new Maserati GranTurismo drinks from the design language already seen in the MC20, although it adapts it to a somewhat more classic format since its silhouette is that of a “lifelong” sports car: elongated hood, displaced passenger compartment on the rear axle, shortened rear… The proportions, wide and low, are those of a true thoroughbred.

Both the optical groups in vertical format and the oval grille (blinded in the Folgore) are common to other models of the brand. In addition, we cannot fail to point out its stylized lights, a finer and more modern reinterpretation of those used by the first GranTurismo launched in 2007. Of course, the triple air intake on the front wing is not missing.

Although there are still no images of the cabin, it has been confirmed that it will have two screens, a 12.3-inch central one and another 8.8-inch one. The digital instrumentation will be 12.2 inches and will have a surround design; In addition, it will be complemented by a projected Head-up Display. The two available sound systems will be the work of Sonus faber.

Despite its weight of 2,260 kg, it is expected to be a reference from a dynamic point of view. Its arrival on the market is scheduled for the second half of 2023.
