Maserati’s all-electric Folgore lineup is expanding with the lovely new GranCabrio convertible, which will likely be a 2025 model.
Based on the GranTurismo Folgore, the GranCabrio edition has a three-motor powertrain with 818 horsepower.
Curvilinear sheet steel and a sleek interior make the GranCabrio Folgore a true marvel. Expect a six-figure price tag and a sell-through date through the end of the year.
The meteorologist in Maserati’s hometown of Modena would do more to proclaim a blue-sky summer, because the Italian luxury automaker’s newest electric vehicle is a soft-top convertible called the GranCabrio Folgore. While the gasoline-powered GranCabrio debuted in February, in late winter, Maserati has taken off the covers on the Folgore variant in sunny Rimini, Italy.
The GranCabrio Folgore, which is expected to be a 2025 model, is the electric variant of the petrol GranCabrio and is very similar to the GranTurismo Folgore coupe. In fact, it’s so similar that the two cars feature a sculptural external design and an 818-horsepower electric powertrain.
Its 3 electric motors are powered by an 83. 0 kWh battery. And we’d expect the powertrain to offer almost functionality to the GranTurismo Folgore. That suggests a 60 mph time in 2. 7 seconds, a quarter-mile in less than 11. 0 seconds, and estimated diversity. around 240 miles per charge.
Like its twin coupe, the GranCabrio Folgore uses the brand’s 800-volt architecture and a uniquely shaped battery that’s rarely your typical EV flat screen. Instead, this T-shaped package is designed to have internal compatibility that would otherwise be the transmission and transmission tunnel, helping to avoid the higher-seat-in-saddle type of electric cars with the classic design.
The cabin of the electric GranCabrio includes a premium ambience, eco-friendly materials and desirable technological features. The Comfortable Responsive Maximum temporarily folds up at speeds up to 31 mph and is designed for compatibility in the most compact form imaginable to conserve the trunk. Passenger space is plentiful in the front seat, but while the rear seats can accommodate adult passengers, we suspect most won’t find it really comfortable.
While leather is available, the GranCabrio Folgore is popular with silky seat upholstery made from Econyl, a man-made fiber made from recycled nylon, which also features laser-etched perforations that create an eye-catching design. If you want to enjoy the great outdoors while sailing under the stars, Maserati has installed neck warmers on both front seats in case you get cold.
The front seats will offer 18-way adjustment and a leather-wrapped steering wheel features brushed aluminum paddle shifters and an on/off button on the left spoke. A 12. 3-inch infotainment touchscreen and separate touchscreen weather features are standard, as are a 12. 2-inch virtual gauge cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (both wireless), a head-up display, and a 16-speaker Sonus Faber sound system; a 19-speaker Sonus Faber stereo is optional.
A combination of wheels and offset tires is standard, with 20-inch front wheels on 265-section-wide tires and 21-inch rear wheels on 295-section-wide tires. No less than six other wheel models are offered, which also come in 4 other models. Finishes. Low rolling resistance tyres are optional and designed for variety, but we think this will come at a cost in terms of cornering grip.
Driver-assist features are also on the menu, with the GranCabriolet’s front Trident hiding a sensor for adaptive cruise control. Automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and a 360-degree external camera formula are also standard.
There are no other convertible electric cars on the market today, unless we count the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid (we don’t). This makes the GranCabrio Folgore an exclusive perspective. Be prepared to pay big for this, as we expect this staggering value to start around $220,000. It is expected to hit dealerships later this year or early 2025.
