Maserati has announced it is ready to unveil its Folgore Gran Turismo, the first car in the Italian luxury car brand’s history to be powered entirely by battery.
Set for a 2023 debut, the Folgore GT – an all-electric version of the MC20 – is the first step in Maserati’s plan to become a 100% electric brand in Europe.By 2025, Maserati says all its luxury vehicles, including the MC20 super sports car, the new Quattroporte sport sedan and the Levante SUV will feature electric-only drivetrains.
It is the new Grecale SUV that is next on the hit list for Maserati’s electrification team, however: this will be launched in coming days, Maserati says.
Images of the upcoming Folgore Gran Turismo show a two-door coupe with a dynamic stance and lowered front end. Maserati is not giving any details away for now, only to say that it “will offer cutting-edge technical solutions derived from Formula E, superb performance, comfort and elegance, all typical of the Trident.”
Hesitant to subject Maserati fans to the horror of a silent ride, the Folgore GT will also have a digital sound it has described in past releases as a “unique, distinctive growl.”
It’s not the first time the Folgore has been seen: earlier in March the new GranTurismo Folgore was photographed in the Scandinavian region of Europe, carrying out all-important winter tests.
Caught in camouflage, these images reveal room for four passengers in a 2+2 layout. The new generation of the GranTurismo is, according to Spanish new site Motor.es, based on Alfa Romeo’s Giorgio platform and adapted to an electric drivetrain.
