Maserati cars represent the ultimate in driving technology and mobile luxury, and the Maserati Grecale Folgore is setting a new benchmark.
This powerful and timeless coupé has been introduced to the Asian market for the first time in its combustion engine and its electric powertrain version, the GranTurismo Folgore.
The future of electrification is rooted in China and the Folgore represents a new dawn for Italian luxury performance.
Maserati is quite ambitious in that it intends to produce only full-electric derivative of its cars by 2030, as it believes that this is what customers and the industry require.
Maserati CEO Davide Grasso commented, “It’s a defining moment for the Maserati brand. We’re in China at the Shanghai Auto Show; we’re in Italy for the cosmopolitan Milano Design Week event; we’re all over the world celebrating the future. It’s a new beginning for the brand. We’re celebrating Folgore, the electrification plan that has become a reality and is ready to pave the way in this revolutionary era. I’m very excited to be here in Shanghai, which is not only an international exhibition but also a global platform for innovation and the ideal place to unveil the first electric models in the history of Maserati”.
