PUGLIA, ITALY—At a current media drive program in Puglia, Italy, Maserati launched the manufacturing model of the all-electric Grecale Folgore. The svelte SUV will be a part of the American lineup for model-year 2025 as the corporate’s second-ever EV, following the 2024 GranTurismo Folgore.
Just like the GranTurismo, growth of the Grecale chassis all the time included plans to affect the mannequin. However in contrast to the GT, Grecale doesn’t obtain a dogbone-style battery and triple drive unit structure, as an alternative sticking with by-now-traditional skateboard underpinnings and twin 205-kilowatt motors that swap in for the spectacular twin-turbo “Nettuno” V6 engine used on the decrease Modena and Trofeo trims.
Whole mixed output maxes out at 550 hp (410 kW) and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) of torque, or about 30 hp (22 kW) greater than the previous top-spec internal-combustion Trofeo trim. Just a few years in the past, these energy figures for both a gasoline or battery-electric drivetrain would have positioned the Grecale on the prime of the SUV meals chain. Throw within the reactive nature of instantaneous torque, in addition to all-wheel-drive traction, and 605 lb-ft ought to sound fairly spectacular.
