We've just driven Maserati's first electric car, the 750bhp GranTurismo Folgore ⚡ but is there enough drama to justify a near £200,000 price tag?

comeback would start with a fabulous-looking, desirable and enchanting coupé and finish with disappointing dynamics, questionable durability or a combination of the two.” Not my words Carol, the words of Autocar magazine more than a decade ago. But given the recent arrival of the fabulousGranturismo

There will be three flavours, two with the V6 engine from the MC20 and the £190k Folgore with battery-electric power.This five-metre-long, two-metre-wide coupé seats four with a boot behind. It’s a 65% aluminium body, the rest steel and magnesium, with double wishbones at the front, five-link suspension at the rear and air springs all round. It weighs 2260kg, a full 450kg more than its V6 sibling.In the V6, the engine is up front, powering the rear wheels.

Our EV is a prototype, so we can’t show you the interior yet. Take my word for it that there’s soft leather that looks well stitched together, the driving position is sound and too much is put onto two touchscreens, pleasant graphics though they have. It feels very luxurious, anyway. Maserati says this is the lowest EV around, as you sit beside rather than above the battery, and that it being centred on the transmission tunnel results in low moments of inertia.I suspect there’s also some torque vectoring at work, underspeeding an inside rear and overspeeding an outside rear wheel to help the car turn, because it does so rapidly.

£200k new, £50k after two years

Batteries suck, and they're only going to get more expensive!

It's a washing machine,like all EV's

that price is not just electrifying, it is shocking

Need to shave 50-75k off that MSRP. The Trident has always mistaken itself to be on par w/ Ferrari when in reality, it’s closer to Alfa Romeo status imo. They’re pricing themselves out if u ask me.

An EV that looks decent. When I first saw it I really thought it was ICE with that grille. I'm not sure about the price tho.

No

This just looks like a mid life facelift of the old car. £200k is nuts when the MC20 is similarly priced!

I do hope they figure out how to charge it at a public charger before it goes on sale. This did seem a strange place to conduct that testing though.

The roar of a Maserati, no more.

That car looks like it should be bellowing its lungs out with a V8

Not really

Only 200?
