Maserati will launch three electric cars next year, the premium Italian brand announced today when announcing its sales figures for 2021.
This follows parent company Stellantis’ announcement earlier this month that Maserati would be one of the few of its brands to go electric in all models launched from 2025. range will be electric by 2030.
The electric range, named Folgore, will be led by a new 1,200hp Maserati Granturismo coupé, which will be unveiled later this year before arriving in 2023.
Maserati said it “will offer state-of-the-art technical solutions derived from Formula E, superb performance, comfort and elegance, all typical of the Trident”. He added that he would achieve a benchmark sprint of under 3 seconds from 0-62mph and a top speed of over 186mph.
The soft-top equivalent, the Maserati Grancabrio, will also arrive next year, the firm has confirmed.

Beyond next year’s onslaught of models, Maserati has shown off three other models that will have electric variants arriving before 2025: the MC20 supercar and next-generation Quattroporte sedan and Levante SUV.
Last year, Maserati sold 24,269 cars worldwide, representing 41% year-on-year growth in a global market that has been badly hit by component shortages.
The Maserati Levante accounted for 59% of sales while the Maserati Ghibli accounted for 33%. The well-received Maserati MC20 took 1%. Global market share was 2.4% and net revenue was €2.02bn (£1.7bn).
