Folgore pricing has dropped, and availability changes week to week. We’ll tell you what’s available, what’s on order, and what it costs today.
Folgore is Maserati’s fully electric line, and it currently covers three cars: a grand tourer, a convertible and an SUV. Each one shares its body and cabin with a gas-powered model you already know.
This guide covers what each Folgore delivers, how they charge, and how to decide between electric and gas. If you’re comparing in person, our Fort Lauderdale team can put you in one.
Maserati Folgore is the brand’s battery-electric powertrain, offered on the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale. Folgore is Italian for “lightning.” Each Folgore keeps the design and cabin of its gas-powered sibling, replacing the engine with electric motors and a high-voltage battery.
It sits alongside Modena and Trofeo as a version of each car, not as a separate model. That matters when you shop, because you’re choosing a powertrain, not a different vehicle.
Four seats, three motors, the quickest of the three.
The same drivetrain with a fabric roof.
Two motors, the largest battery, built for daily use.
The GranTurismo Folgore was the first Folgore, and it’s the most extreme. Three electric motors (one front, two rear) give it all-wheel drive and torque vectoring at the rear axle.
The battery sits in a T-shape along the car’s spine rather than under the floor. That keeps the seating position low, which is why it still drives like a GranTurismo and not a raised EV.
The GranCabrio Folgore uses the same three-motor drivetrain under a soft top. It gives up a little acceleration and top speed to the GranTurismo, mostly from the roof structure’s added weight.
Open-top driving changes the electric experience most. With no engine note, you hear wind and road instead. For the gas version and the rest of the open-air lineup, see our convertible guide and the GranCabrio model page.
The Grecale Folgore is the practical one. It uses two motors, the largest battery in the lineup, and the same cargo space as the gas Grecale.
It’s the Folgore most owners will use every day. Its 400-volt system means slower fast-charging than the grand tourers, which matters on road trips and much less on home charging.
Figures are manufacturer-stated and vary by model year and configuration. Confirm final specification with our product specialists before ordering.
The choice comes down to how you drive and what you want to hear. Performance isn’t the deciding factor, because each Folgore matches or beats its gas sibling on acceleration.
The gas cars run the Nettuno V6, and its sound is a large part of why people buy a Maserati. The Folgore trades that for instant torque and quiet cruising.
Most of your driving is local, you can charge at home, and you want the quickest version with the lowest running costs.
You take long drives without planned charging stops, the engine sound matters to you, or you want the lighter car.
Most owners charge at home overnight and rarely use public fast chargers. Fast-charging speed matters mainly on long trips, and that’s where the 800-volt GranTurismo and GranCabrio pull ahead of the Grecale.
The everyday option. A full charge overnight from a 240-volt wall unit.
Useful for topping up at a destination. Same speed as home charging.
For long drives. Typical 10–80% stop: — minutes.
If you’re installing a home charger, ask us before you buy one. We can point you to units and installers that suit your model.
The MCPura and MCPura Cielo are gas-only. Maserati shelved the battery-electric MC20 Folgore before its reveal, saying supercar buyers aren’t ready for an electric car, and there are no plans for an electric MCPura. The full story is in how the MC20 became the MCPura.
The GT2 Stradale is gas-only too. If you want Maserati’s most track-focused car, you’re choosing combustion.
An electric Quattroporte was planned, but Maserati has delayed it while it reviews the business case. For now, the three Folgore models above are the full electric lineup.
An electric Maserati needs less routine service than a gas one, with no oil changes or spark plugs. Tires, brakes, cabin filters and software updates still need attention. Our guide to maintaining a hybrid or electric Maserati covers the schedule.
Storm season matters more with a high-voltage battery. A battery that has been in saltwater needs professional assessment before anyone attempts to charge or drive the car. Our storm season guide covers what to do before and after.
Yes. The GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale are all in production as fully electric Folgore models. Maserati has dropped its goal of going all-electric by 2030, so its gas V6 models remain the core of the lineup.
Folgore is Italian for “lightning.” Maserati uses it as the name for its electric powertrain across the lineup.
It depends on the model and how it’s driven. The Grecale Folgore has the largest battery; EPA estimates for each model are listed in the spec table above.
It accelerates faster, reaching 60 mph in about 2.6 seconds. Top speed is similar, and the Trofeo is lighter.
Yes, and most owners do. A 240-volt Level 2 wall charger handles a full charge overnight. Our team can recommend chargers and installers.
There’s no engine, so the car is close to silent at low speeds, aside from the pedestrian warning sound required by law. At speed you mostly hear wind and tires.
