Maserati Gran Turismo Folgore

Maserati’s first all-electric GranTurismo, the Folgore, is a shock to the system.

With three electric motors and over 750 horsepower, it hits 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, making it the fastest Maserati ever.

It’s a silent storm of performance, proving the brand’s electric future is seriously fast.

1. Body Style and Size Segment

The Folgore is a four-seat coupe in the F-Luxury segment. Its dimensions are 4959 mm in length, 1957 mm in width, and 1353 mm in height, with a 2929 mm wheelbase.

2. Platform Architecture, Range & Efficiency

Built on an 800V architecture, the Folgore is highly efficient with an estimated WLTP range of up to 455 km. Its 92.5 kWh battery pack can gain 100 km of range in under 5 minutes with a rapid charger.

3. Technical Capabilities

The Folgore includes Level 2 autonomous driving features, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist. Other aids include Dynamic Road View, Forward Collision Warning Plus, and automatic emergency braking, all designed to enhance safety and comfort.

4. Interior Quality and Storage Capacity

The cabin is crafted with premium, sustainable materials, including upholstery made from recycled fishing nets. The car offers seating for four. It has a rear cargo capacity of 270 litres, with no front trunk (“frunk”) available.

6. 3 Pros and 3 Cons

Pros:

Exhilarating performance with 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds.
Elegant and classic Maserati design.
Rapid charging capability. Cons:
Lacks the traditional Maserati engine sound and “theatre.”
Boot space is limited compared to its petrol counterpart.
Interior elements are shared with the more affordable Grecale, which may not feel premium enough for the price point.

7. Overall Summary

The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is a powerful and refined electric grand tourer. While competitors like the Porsche Taycan offer a sharper, more focused driving dynamic, the Folgore leans into its role as a comfortable, high-speed cruiser. It sacrifices some of the raw, emotional feedback of its petrol-powered sibling for silent, explosive speed, making it a compelling, if different, proposition in the luxury EV market.
