2023 Maserati Grecale Folgore

At Auto Shanghai, which takes place from Apr 18, 2023 – Apr 27, 2023, Maserati revealed a powerful all-electric SUV with a respectable range, the Maserati Grecale Folgore.

The car has better aerodynamics and is equipped with air suspension, illuminated side vents, a new front fascia inspired by the Trofeo model with a grille that is partially closed, a new diffuser, copper brake calipers and copper badges. Buyers can also get the exclusive Rame Folgore package for the exterior, in which case “warm copper tones coexist in the sun with cooler shades of bluish gray in the shadow areas.”

Inside, the seats with 14 adjustment modes and a heating and ventilation system are covered with Econyl (regenerated nylon made from waste such as fishing nets, scraps of fabric and carpets. It has the same high quality as virgin nylon, without the traditional process of deriving it from oil). The details on the dashboard, as well as the carbon 3D details on the center console and door panels are matched with the seats. The driver has at his disposal a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, as well as a 12.3-inch infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay systems and Intelligent Assistant, as well as an 8.8-inch lower screen and head-up display.

The Maserati Grecale Folgore is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 550 hp (410 kW) and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) of torque. It is equipped with a 105 kwh battery that enables a range of 500 km, and 400V technology that supports 150 kW DC fast charging. The battery is charged from 20 to 80 percent capacity in 29 minutes. The driver can choose between three driving modes: GT, Sport, Off-Road and Max Range. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 220 km/h.

2023 Maserati GranTurismo Coupé

Maserati will soon introduce the latest generation of the GranTurismo Coupé, which will be powered by an internal combustion engine. The car should appear on the market next year, and the Italian car manufacturer has published photos of the future car.

The new Gran Turismo pays homage to the A6 1500 model that was produced 75 years ago. It will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno engine with 621 hp and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h). Also, the GT GranCabrio will be powered by the same engine, but Maserati did not reveal its performance.

At the beginning of the year, Maserati presented its second crossover Maserati Grecale powered by the same engine that in its most powerful version Trofeo delivers 530hp (390 kW) and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. According to Maserati, it reaches 60 in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).

Maserati’s plan is to electrify all its cars by the end of the decade. In addition to these models, which will arrive on the market in 2023, Maserati will electrify the Quattroporte, Levante and MC20 models by 2025. The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore should hit the market in 2024, and will be powered by three electric motors that will produce a total of 1,200 hp (883 kW), which is enough to reach 62 mph in 2.6 seconds with a maximum speed of 320 km/h.

2022 Maserati Grecale world premiere

Maserati has unveiled its second crossover that will find its place below the Levante model. It is a Maserati Grecale that was supposed to be unveiled last year but for well-known reasons caused by a lack of microchips the premiere has been postponed to March 22nd.

The company has high expectations from the new Grecale, and previously published teasers have shown the design of the car. The aggressive sporty look is adorned with a standard front grille with the Maserati logo, larger air intakes, headlights reminiscent of a Ford Puma, while the shape of the rear with four exhaust pipes is reminiscent of a larger Levante SUV. There is more chrome at the back, including a Maserati badge and a strip between the two brake lights.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather with light green stitching. There are also four screens, and in addition to the digital cluster in front of the driver and the two screens on the center console, the watch is also a screen. The cluster and upper touch screen are 12.3-inch panels, while the lower one is actually an 8.8-inch panel that has replaced the functions of a number of buttons. Optionally, it will be possible to get a HUD display.

Maserati is not ready to give up the internal combustion engine. That’s why there are three petrol engines on offer: two 2.0 L four-cylinder mid-hybrids with 300 hp and 330 hp, which is 50 hp more than the competitor Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce, 30 hp less than the BMW X4 M40i and 50 hp less than the Porsche Macan S.

The Maserati Grecale is powered by a 3.0 L twin-turbo V6 engine, and the most powerful version, the Trofeo, has 530hp (390 kW) and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. According to Maserati, it reaches 60 in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km / h). It is mounted on 19-inch wheels, and 20- and 21-inch sets are available at an additional cost.

Maserati also introduced an electric version of Grecale called Folgore. The company did not reveal the range of the vehicle, but said it would be equipped with a 105 kWh battery. That should be enough for 350 miles on a full charge, which is 30 miles more than the Tesla Model Y Performance.

When it comes to the powertrain, Maserati has not revealed power and acceleration, but they say it will have 800 Nm of torque, which is 100 Nm more than the Tesla Model Y Performance.
