We've just driven Maserati's first electric car, the 750bhp GranTurismo Folgore ⚡ but is there enough drama to justify a near £200,000 price tag?
comeback would start with a fabulous-looking, desirable and enchanting coupé and finish with disappointing dynamics, questionable durability or a combination of the two.” Not my words Carol, the words of Autocar magazine more than a decade ago. But given the recent arrival of the fabulousGranturismo
There will be three flavours, two with the V6 engine from the MC20 and the £190k Folgore with battery-electric power.This five-metre-long, two-metre-wide coupé seats four with a boot behind. It’s a 65% aluminium body, the rest steel and magnesium, with double wishbones at the front, five-link suspension at the rear and air springs all round. It weighs 2260kg, a full 450kg more than its V6 sibling.In the V6, the engine is up front, powering the rear wheels.
Our EV is a prototype, so we can’t show you the interior yet. Take my word for it that there’s soft leather that looks well stitched together, the driving position is sound and too much is put onto two touchscreens, pleasant graphics though they have. It feels very luxurious, anyway. Maserati says this is the lowest EV around, as you sit beside rather than above the battery, and that it being centred on the transmission tunnel results in low moments of inertia.I suspect there’s also some torque vectoring at work, underspeeding an inside rear and overspeeding an outside rear wheel to help the car turn, because it does so rapidly.
