2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore revealed
The GranTurismo Folgore has an electric drivetrain. "We're going to let buyers decide [whether they prefer the V6 or the EV]; we can scale production up or down depending on demand. We don't want to influence our customers' choice," explained William Peffer, the head of Maserati's North American division. Bravo, Maserati.
Power for the Folgore (which means "lightning" in Italian) comes from three electric motors: one spins the front wheels and the remaining two are each assigned to one of the rear wheels. The system's total output checks in at 900 kilowatts (about 1,207 horsepower), but the motors don't peak at the same time so the maximum output that reaches the wheels is about 751 horsepower and 996 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to send the electric GranTurismo from 0-62 mph in 2.7 seconds and on to a top speed of approximately 198 mph.
