IS MASERATI'S FIRST EV THE BEST LOOKING ELECTRIC CAR YET? NEW GRANTURISMO FOLGORE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

Maserati's first all-electric offering, the GranTurismo Folgore, is presented as a significant return to form for the historic Italian manufacturer. The reviewer highlights its stunning design, which, while similar to its petrol counterpart, is a fresh ground-up design for the EV. The Folgore boasts impressive performance figures, with 750 BHP and 750 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-62 mph sprint in just 2.7 seconds. The 800-volt architecture allows for rapid charging, reaching 20-80% in approximately 15 minutes. The interior features unique, sustainable materials and a luxurious feel, comparable to premium German rivals. While the reviewer praises the car's driving dynamics, comfortable ride thanks to air suspension, and overall excitement it generates, minor drawbacks include limited rear space and a boot that might be considered small for a grand tourer. Despite these points, the Folgore is positioned as a compelling and exclusive alternative to established rivals like the Porsche Taycan, Audi RS e-tron GT, and Tesla Model S Plaid, marking a triumphant resurgence for Maserati in the EV space.
