Yahoo Autos 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore EV Droptop Forecasts Sunny Days Ahead
Maserati's all-electric Folgore lineup grows with the gorgeous new GranCabrio convertible, which will likely be a 2025 model.
Based on the GranTurismo Folgore, the GranCabrio version boasts a tri-motor electric powertrain with 818 horsepower.
Curvaceous sheetmetal and a posh cabin make the GranCabrio Folgore a real stunner. Expect a six-figure price tag and an on-sale date by year's end.
The weather man in Maserati's hometown of Modena better be calling for a blue-sky summer because the Italian luxury automaker's latest EV is a soft-top convertible called GranCabrio Folgore. While the gas-powered GranCabrio debuted back in February in the waning days of winter, Maserati today pulled the covers off the Folgore variant in sunny Rimini, Italy.
Meet the GranCabrio, a Gorgeous Droptop
The GranCabrio Folgore, which is expected to be a 2025 model, is the electric variant of the gas-powered GranCabrio and is closely related to the GranTurismo Folgore coupe. So closely, in fact, that the two cars share a sculptural exterior design and an 818-hp electric powertrain.
Powering its three electric motors is an 83.0-kWh battery pack. And we expect the powertrain to provide nearly identical performance to that of the GranTurismo Folgore. That suggests a 60-mph time of 2.7 seconds, a quarter-mile run under 11.0 seconds, and a driving-range estimate around 240 miles per charge.
Like its coupe twin, the GranCabrio Folgore uses the brand's 800-volt architecture and uniquely shaped battery pack that's not a flat-panel typical of EVs. Instead, this T-shaped pack is designed to fit inside what would otherwise be the transmission and driveline tunnel, helping to avoid the sort of tall-in-the-saddle seating height of EV cars with the traditional layout.
