Maserati electrifies its luxury sports car line-up
Maserati gave the ultimate teaser to its new line of electric vehicles: one tantalizing photo and not much more.
On Thursday the Italian carmaker announced it would be going all in on electric vehicles across its product line-up. Called the Folgore line, it includes six different Maseratis.
The first EV will be the GranTurismo Folgore, a race-car looking sports car that starts around $134,000 in its gas-powered form. The electric version is expected to be available by 2023. Maserati didn't share anything about pricing or the battery. But it did give a sneak peak and mention a three-motor configuration that will give it quick acceleration and 186 mph top speed.

A GranCabrio, a four-seater sports car, will also be out in 2023 as an EV. Then there's the Grecale, a mid-size SUV that will also debut then as an EV.
In 2025, brace for more expensive, electric Maseratis: the MC20 supercar, Levante full-size SUV, and Quattroporte sport sedan.
By 2030, Maserati says it will only sell electric rides. Sounds a lot like another luxury car brand (cough, Bentley, cough).
