Maserati has officially launched the all-electric Folgore versions of its legendary GranTurismo and GranCabrio grand tourers in India, marking a major step forward in the Italian automaker’s electrification journey. The GranTurismo Folgore is priced at ₹3.05 crore, while the GranCabrio Folgore starts at ₹3.18 crore (ex-showroom, India).
These models represent Maserati’s entry into India’s high-performance electric vehicle (EV) segment, blending Italian craftsmanship, zero-emission performance, and cutting-edge technology. At this price and performance level, both cars currently have no direct rivals in the Indian market.
Performance and Powertrain
The GranTurismo Folgore and GranCabrio Folgore share the same triple-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain, paired with an 83kWh battery pack (usable capacity).
Together, the setup delivers an astounding 761hp and 1,350Nm of torque, with a boost mode temporarily raising the output to 829hp for even greater acceleration.
- GranTurismo Folgore: 0–100km/h in 2.7 seconds, top speed 325km/h
- GranCabrio Folgore: 0–100km/h in 2.8 seconds, top speed 290km/h
These figures make the Folgore twins among the fastest electric cars ever launched in India, setting a new benchmark for performance EVs in the luxury GT category.
Range and Charging
Maserati claims a range of up to 450km (WLTP) for the GranTurismo Folgore and 447km for the GranCabrio Folgore on a full charge.
Both models support DC fast charging up to 270kW, allowing rapid charging times — among the highest currently available in India. Built on Maserati’s dedicated EV architecture, these grand tourers maintain near-perfect weight distribution and the signature driving dynamics of their internal combustion predecessors.
Design and Interior
The Folgore duo retains the iconic design language of the petrol-powered GranTurismo and GranCabrio, enhanced with subtle aerodynamic tweaks and modern EV styling elements. Highlights include:
- Closed-off grille and aerodynamic bumpers
- Sleek LED headlamps and signature “Folgore” badging
- Large alloy wheels designed for performance and efficiency
Inside, Maserati offers a dual-tone luxury cabin finished in sustainably sourced materials. Key interior features include:
- Fully digital instrument cluster and infotainment system
- 12.3-inch central display and a digital comfort screen
- Flat-bottom steering wheel, digital clock, and Sonus Faber premium audio system
The blend of traditional craftsmanship and futuristic technology reflects Maserati’s shift toward sustainable luxury.
Positioning and Market Outlook
The launch of the GranTurismo Folgore and GranCabrio Folgore marks Maserati’s first major step in its global “Folgore Strategy” — the brand’s roadmap to a 100% electric lineup by 2030.
In India, these models occupy a unique niche, bridging the gap between ultra-performance EVs like the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and bespoke luxury GTs. With their exceptional power, design, and exclusivity, Maserati aims to redefine the concept of Italian grand touring in the electric era.
Final Thoughts
With the launch of the GranTurismo Folgore and GranCabrio Folgore, Maserati enters a new electrified chapter — one that balances heritage, artistry, and innovation. These EVs not only highlight Maserati’s commitment to performance and sustainability but also set the tone for its future lineup of luxury electric sports cars.
As the brand accelerates toward full electrification, the Folgore twins stand as a statement of Italian excellence in the age of electric mobility.
