Maserati’s first electric GranTurismo is as fast as its gasoline version

Maserati has officially shown its all-electric GranTurismo, and the most intriguing aspect may be something you don’t see. With a tri-motor 760HP system, the GranTurismo Folgore coupe has enough power, but it’s also as low-slung as the gas variants (the Modena and Trofeo) at 53.3 inches. Maserati boasts that this is the lowest-sitting EV on the market, with increased agility to match. You wouldn’t know it was an EV if it weren’t for the aerodynamic wheels and absence of exhaust pipes – even Porsche can’t do it.

The Italian manufacturer has not specified the range, but the electric GranTurismo contains a 92.5kWh battery with an 800V design that allows for up to 270kW charging. Maserati claims 62 miles of range in five minutes. The two-door similarly outperforms its combustion engine predecessors, with a stated 0-62MPH time of 2.7 seconds (against 3.5 for the Trofeo and 3.9 for the Modena) and a peak speed of 198.9MPH.
