Maserati GranTurismo Folgore takes to the streets

Maserati's prototype all-electric coupe, the GranTurismo Folgore, is making its first appearance on the open streets. Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, visited the Roman prototype of the 2022 E-Prix car, driving it around the Formula E street circuit in the Eternal City.

The new GranTurismo will be Maserati's first all-electric model. The Mirafiori production center will be responsible for the construction of the model, and its the market debut will take place in 2023.

A true icon of the Italian marque, the new coupe will offer the signature Maserati sound, as well as the latest technology, performance, comfort and elegance - all that is typical of a car with a trident.

Maserati is inherently innovative and looks straight to the future. Thus, the decision to compete in Formula E was clear: the manufacturer would compete in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as the first Italian brand.

Maserati will also be the first Italian luxury car brand to produce all-electric models, with a full electric vehicle lineup to be completed by 2025. Five years from now, Maserati's entire range will be all-electric.
