MASERATI GRANCABRIO & GRANTURISMO - A BARGAIN ELECTRIC CONVERTIBLE ROCKETSHIP (ISH)

EV Channels Review

The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore is presented as a unique and powerful electric convertible, albeit at a significant price point starting at £190,000. The reviewer highlights its stunning design, luxurious materials, and impressive performance, noting its 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds and over 750 bhp. A key takeaway is its distinctiveness in the EV market, being one of the few four-seat electric convertibles available. While praised for its sophisticated driving dynamics and planted feel, the reviewer acknowledges the lack of traditional engine noise as a compromise for petrolheads. Practicality is not its strong suit, with limited boot space and no frunk. Real-world range is estimated at 180-200 miles, with faster charging thanks to its 800-volt architecture. Ultimately, the reviewer finds it a compelling, albeit expensive, proposition, particularly as a daily driver, though a petrol alternative might be preferred for weekend enjoyment by some enthusiasts.
