2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore Review, Pricing, and Specs

While the petrol-powered GranTurismo is offered in Modena and Trofeo trims, the GranTurismo Folgore is offered in only one generously equipped model. Expect sustainable interior materials, plenty of infotainment and driver assistance technology, and excellent performance.

EV Motors, Power and Performance

The GranTurismo Folgore is powered by a trio of electric motors that deliver up to 818 horsepower to all four wheels. As a result, the electric GranTurismo will likely be faster than its petrol-powered counterpart, the most powerful of which produces just 542 horsepower. Two of the motors drive the individual rear wheels while the third drives the front axle. Maserati says this enables a torque vectoring feature disguised as a limited-slip differential. We were impressed with the GranTurismo Folgore during our initial test drive on some winding roads north of Rome. Acceleration is, to put it simply, blistering, especially in the Corsa’s most aggressive driving modes. The test car we sampled was unfortunately wearing winter tires, so we couldn’t push it as hard in the corners as we’d like, but from what we can tell so far, the GranTurismo should offer quite a fun time behind the wheel.

Range, Charging and Battery Life

The 83.0-kWh battery pack should provide around 240 miles of driving range, but we’ll have to wait and see for ourselves when we get a chance to do our real-world range testing. Maserati says the GranTurismo Folgore can be fast-charged at a 270 kW connection, enough to add 100 km of range in just 5 minutes according to its gauge.

Real World Fuel Economy and MPGe

The EPA hasn’t released fuel economy or driving range estimates for the GranTurismo Folgore, but we’ll update this story with details as they become available. We’ll also take the electric sports car on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route to determine real-world results. For more information on the GranTurismo Folgore’s fuel economy, visit EPA website.

Interior, Comfort and Cargo

Like the regular GranTurismo, the GranTurismo Folgore is a four-seat coupe with a luxury cabin. Although you’d never guess it by looking at it, the car features sustainable materials throughout the interior design, including upholstery made from recycled fishing nets reclaimed from the ocean. Passenger and cargo space should be similar to the regular GranTurismo as well as rivals like Aston Martin Vantage and Mercedes-AMG GT. If Maserati moves forward with a GranCabrio version, expect the car’s trunk to see a reduction in capacity as it makes room to store the folding fabric roof.

Infotainment and Connectivity

All GranTurismo models come with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen running Maserati’s latest Google-based infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both included and there’s a secondary 8.8-inch touchscreen that doubles as a climate control panel. A head-up display is also available as is a premium 19-speaker stereo system tuned by Italian audio specialist Sonus Faber.

Safety Features and Driver Assistance

The GranTurismo Folgore offers several driver assistance features as standard, but we’d still like more advanced technology to be an option. For more information on the GranTurismo’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) website. Key safety features include:

• Standard automatic emergency brake
• Standard lane departure warning with lane keeping assist
• Adaptive cruise control is available

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Maserati’s standard warranty is nothing special, with coverage spanning four years or 50,000 miles. Rival sports car like Porsche 911 offers a free scheduled maintenance plan to increase its value in this category.

• The limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles
• No free scheduled maintenance
