Maserati plans to electrify all its cars by the end of the decade, and that includes the fully electric models Quattroporte, Levante and MC20. A few days ago, Maserati announced the arrival of the MC20 Folgore EV in the coming year.

“Driven by our Modena heart, we are going full throttle to lead change on electrification, with two of our iconic models already available for purchase in their 100 per cent electric versions, and another on the way this year,” said Maserati boss Davide Grasso .

Although it was most likely that it would arrive on the market in 2022, that did not happen and Maserati is now saying that it will offer its preferred customers the most powerful Maseratis ever, pushing the boundaries of driving pleasure to a new era.

The Maserati MC20 Folgore should be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 700 hp (522 kW) and will have all-wheel drive. It will be 100 kg heavier than the ICE-powered model, and will accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.0 seconds. Whether this means it will have the same configuration as the GranTurismo Folgore, which is also powered by three electric motors with a total power of 750 hp (559 kW), is unknown.

“With our long-term strategic vision and plan, we want to make a mark in the luxury world with unique Italian manufacturing excellence, constantly pushing distinctive quality and building our future with a dedicated business model that guarantees our customers the best products that reflect the Trident’s values,” the company said.
