2024 Maserati_HQ GranTurismo Folgore embraces the sound of silence:
In the United States, outside of the stunning MC20, modern-day Maseratis have a knack for going unnoticed. In small-town Italy, however, the trident emblem and distinct engine symphonies possess the ability to stop bystanders in their tracks. Approval is delivered via thumbs-up from pedestrians. The 2024Though Maserati's all-new GranTurismo is offered with a potent twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, the Folgore brings another powertrain option: electric.
No fewer than four drive modes are selectable by a steering-wheel-mounted knob. Max Range states the obvious, extracting every mile possible from the battery by dialing back power and limiting top speed to 81 mph. The default setting, GT, keeps the standard air springs and electronically controlled dampers relaxed and allows you to use up to 80 percent of the powertrain's output.
Thrill-seekers should continue on to the Corsa setting. It dials back the traction- and stability-control parameters, lowers the air springs, and tightens the dampers. Additionally, the 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster displays the thermal state of the battery. Within the Corsa setting, and when the battery's state of charge exceeds 80 percent, Max Boost is accessible through the familiar Uconnect-based center touchscreen.
Overall, the GranTurismo Folgore is a hellacious coupe with ample space for four adults. And though it lacks the character of the brand's internal-combustion engines, both past and present, it certainly doesn't fall short on speed. We estimate the Folgore to start at $215,000 when it arrives this fall. Whether the upcharge over the gas-powered variants is worth it to the Maserati faithful remains to be seen. We think they won't care. It's all about being seen, not heard.
