Do you think Alfa Romeo and Ferrari might have other plans?

During 2021 Maserati, the Stellantis Group’s only luxury brand, posted an increase in its global market share to 2.4%, at 2.9% and 2.7% in North America and China, respectively. Maserati recorded robust growth in sales, at +41% year-on-year with a total of 24,269 vehicles delivered to customers worldwide during 2021. Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) margin* stood at 5.1% and Net Revenues* were €2,021 million. (AutoInformed: Stellantis Claims Record First Year with €13.4B Net Profit)

Now, Maserati claims it is about to become the first luxury brand to launch a 100% electric sports car under the Maserati Folgore name (translation Lightning or Flash of Lighting). The new Gran Turismo will be the first car in Maserati history to adopt 100% electric “solutions.” Made at the Mirafiori production site, it will debut in the market in 2023. The new Gran Turismo, it’s claimed, will offer “cutting-edge technical solutions derived from Formula E – superb performance, comfort and elegance.”

Next year, the all-new Grecale SUV, scheduled for launch in the next few days, will also be available in an electric version. All Maserati models will come in a 100% electric version by 2025: the MC20 super sports car, the new Quattroporte sport sedan and the all-new full-size Levante SUV will complete Maserati Folgore offerings “to attract the new luxury consumer in all market segments. By 2030, the entire Maserati range will be full electric.”
