Maserati make it clear that it is operating on a new type of electricity sport car last year, and it will be successor to the GranTurismo sports coupe. The car reappeared in the spy photoand they give us a better view of the car official teaser images. The camouflage also appears to give it an extra name.
Let’s talk about the name first. In addition to the usual Maserati name, the camouflage now has another word: “Folgore.” Translated from Italian, it means “lightning” or “thunderbolt”. Maserati came up with this name a few years ago when he started talking about his future tramand it first mentioned an electric version belong to MC20 . mid-engine sports car. So this confirms this prototype is electric and maybe it will be called GranTurismo Folgore.
In terms of looks, the Folgore actually looks a lot like the internal combustion engine car it will replace. However, that’s not a bad thing, as the old coupe still has an eye-catching look. The front end has the most obvious changes with a simpler oval grille, still bearing Maserati’s large trident shape. The headlight is now more vertical, helping to secure it to the MC20. Looking at the rest of the car, the proportions are still very classic with a long nose and a short floor, although there is no need for front space for an engine. The fenders are still sexy, and the taillights are shaped like the old car, although much slimmer.
We’re expecting to see the GranTurismo Folgore revealed this year, a little later than Maserati originally planned. The MC20 Folgore powertrain introduced a few years ago has three electric motors, one in the front and two in the rear, and it will likely be carried over to the GranTurismo. The estimated power of more than 620 horsepower of the MC20 burns.
