At the beginning of March, Maserati presented its new powerful sports convertible that combines tradition and innovation, raw engineering and Italian elegance, the GranCabrio. Now it is launching the first luxury electric convertible, the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore.

The GranCabrio Folgore is the Italian manufacturer’s third electric car that shares an 800-volt system with its first electric car, the GranTurismo Folgore. Also, the GranCabrio Folgore will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of more than 1,200 hp (895 kW). However, power is limited to “just” 762 hp (568 kW) and 996 lb-ft (1,350 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the 2,340-kilogram heavy car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). If the driver wants more power (up to 830 hp/619 kW) he can achieve it with the MaxBoost option.

The car comes with all-wheel drive as standard, while RWD is available as an option. There is also an option to send power to only one of the rear wheels, which is similar to an electronically controlled differential. It should be noted that drivers will be able to choose between four drive modes: Max Range, GT, Sport and Corsa.

The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore is equipped with a 92.5 kWh battery pack located in the floor that ensures a range of 445 km, with a single charge. Thanks to the 270-kilowatt fast chargers, the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.

The first deliveries are expected by the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025, and each car will cost around 190,000 euros.
