Maserati zips into the EV era with the Grecale Folgore

Italian luxury automaker Maserati is the latest to enter the EV space, and its contender is the Grecale ‘Folgore’ – Italian for ‘lightning’. This luxury EV has been unveiled alongside the Grecale ICE variants, and share the same design language, albeit with a bunch of electric flavours. 

The Grecale design is inspired by Maserati’s Levante lineup. You get the Maserati trident logo sitting atop a partially closed grille, the Folgore brand name on the front wing, boomerang tail lights, aero-styled wheels, and more. 

The Folgore sits on its own EV platform, which is a modified version of the Giorgio platform also used by the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. While a lot of details are under wraps, we do know that the Folgore gets its power from a 105 kWh battery pack producing 800Nm of peak torque. It also comes with a 400-volt architecture, but details about the charging, driving range, etc are not known at the moment. 

On the inside, there’s an infotainment system powered by Maserati’s intelligent multimedia system, and a Sonus 3D sound system that includes up to 21 speakers.

Maserati hasn’t revealed the pricing details yet, which should be unveiled closer to the launch in 2023.
