Expensive, exclusive and charming, the Italian car manufacturing giant, Maserati has captivated the automotive market since its inauguration in 1914. Although Maserati offers a limited range, its unique designs and vehicles from ‘high performance have helped establish their mark within the automotive market. Over the decades, the manufacturer has launched sedans, coupes and SUVs. With the world becoming more and more aware of the Earth and the impact of gas-powered vehicles on its environment, many high-end car manufacturers have started making fully electric vehicles and Maserati is no different. Within the Maserati EV lineup are two lovely vehicles: the Maserati 2024 Grecale Folgore and the GranTurismo Folgore. The Grecale Folgore is essentially the all-electric version of the Grecale SUV. However, the upcoming GranTurismo Folgore 2024 is another story. An incredibly promising electric vehicle, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore will be the second all-electric vehicle launched by Maserati. Already in the headlines, the market is eagerly awaiting the launch of Maserati GranTurismo Folgore specifications. Here’s everything we know about it so far.
1 It has a high-performance drivetrain

In January 2022, Maserati announced a new technology for its powertrain: technology derived from Formula E, which changed the landscape of electric vehicle racing forever. Maserati, with an unrivaled racing legacy, will debut a third-generation Formula E racing car with a high-performance powertrain that uses silicon carbide inverters to enable highly efficient power flow. The same powertrain will be used in the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore. This 2024 model also features three separate 300 kW permanent magnet motors, where one is attached to the front and two to the rear. Combine that with Maserati’s state-of-the-art 800-volt battery, which powers the motors, and you have an electric vehicle that delivers 560 kW. The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo also has a massive torque output of 995 pound-feet will have an output of around 1,200 horsepower.

The Folgore offers incredible acceleration capability with a top speed of up to 186 mph, which is 325 km/h. Despite its high acceleration, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is able to remain stable, which is largely due to its low center of gravity.
