- The next-generation Maserati Quattroporte will spawn an EV variant called the Folgore, first reported. AutoCar.
- It will replace the current Ghibli and Quattroporte and serve as Maserati’s sole sedan offering.
- We expect it to arrive for the 2025 model year in the US
Today Maserati has two sedans, the smaller Ghibli and the larger Quattroporte, but a single model will replace the pair to compete in the sedan landscape that includes the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Mercedes E-Class . The Quattroporte nameplate (literally meaning “four doors”) beats the Ghibli. Sorry, no sorry, Ghibli.
We can hear you say, “Is a Maserati sedan really worth waiting for?” Yes. Well, assuming it’s done right. But after our recent exposure to the GranTurismo, we’re confident the new Quattroporte will. Today’s cars feel a little too Fiat-Chrysler, as if the investment was made only for the trident grille and not for exceptional engineering or dynamics. There is a lot of passion associated with Maserati, and the new QP can reignite those passions.
Like the new GranTurismo, the Quattroporte will offer a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine in at least two states of tune. Say around 480 horsepower to boot and 540 hp on top. The highest priced model, the Folgore, will offer an experience of more than 800 hp with three electric motors. Unfortunately, the V-8 may die out with the current Quattroporte.
The interior will also mimic the GT: lots of leather (some upholstery), sports seats and Uconnect-based infotainment. Maserati won’t be picking up the switch on Dodge’s new QP this time around, a necessity for a car that will start around $150,000. Maserati’s SUVs are selling well, but we’re glad it’s staying committed to making cars.
