Shot on the picturesque streets of California, the five-minute film offers a better look at the stunning design of the second generation GranTurismo. It is characterized by a long hood, a convertible-like roofline and a relatively short trunk, while its front end borrows some of the stylistic cues begun by MC20 and have also seen on Grecale. The pattern is instantly recognizable as a member of Maserati investment portfolio.
we known that the first mass-produced electric Maserati will ship with three-motor powertrains with around 1,200 hp. Design director Klaus Busse (who is behind the wheel in the video) announced that GranTurismo Folgore takes 2.6 seconds to reach 60 mph from a stop and tops out at over 200 mph. He added that the battery pack is housed in the transmission tunnel, a solution that has allowed his team to give the car a relatively low profile, but details like the size of the unit and driving range have yet to be finalized.
