CAN AN EV REALLY HANDLE BETTER THAN AN ICE ON ICE?!

EV Channels Review

This video pits the Maserati Grecale Trofeo (petrol V6) against the Grecale Folgore (all-electric) on an ice driving course to compare their handling dynamics. The reviewer found the Trofeo, despite its 2-ton weight, to be surprisingly nimble and agile on ice. Its V6 engine and 8-speed gearbox allowed for audible feedback and throttle modulation, making it feel like a "pendulum" that could be easily controlled with a "scandi flick." The reviewer thoroughly enjoyed sliding the petrol version, highlighting its playful nature. In contrast, the Folgore, being around 400kg heavier and lacking gear changes, presented a significantly greater challenge. The reviewer noted that while it could be rotated, the extra momentum made it much harder to recover from slides, often leading to oversteer and a feeling of too much weight at the rear. Despite the difficulty, the reviewer still managed to have fun, concluding that the petrol Trofeo is a far more accessible and enjoyable car for ice driving, while the Folgore requires more precise weight management.
