By 2025 Maserati has promised that all its models will have electric options, and by 2030 the company will produce cars of this type only. To achieve these goals, the 2023 Maserati GranTurismo has been included and is entering the first planning stage after confirming that it will have its own sustainable section.
The model was unveiled during the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E Rome E-Prix, taking center stage during the event given the model’s aesthetic performance and the paint chosen to display it, which made an immediate impression. In addition, it is worth noting that starting this season, the brand officially competes in the 100% electric single-seater category, where Gen3 cars are produced.
Autonomy and performance are some of the aspects Maserati is evaluating for the electrified version of this model. However, it took a lot of time to find the appropriate sound for a sports car with such characteristics, and they assure from the factory that it will be “a kind of melody”.
The electric version is equipped with an ultra-fast charging system thanks to the 800-volt architecture. The electric powertrain now exceeds 700 horsepower (761 hp) thanks to three 300 kW permanent magnet power units and a nominal battery capacity of 92.5 kWh.
On the other hand, it has a length of 4.95 meters, a width of 1.95 meters, a height of 1.35 meters, a weight of 1795 kg, a trunk with a volume of 310 liters, a V6 internal combustion engine (gasoline) that produces 490 horsepower or 550 hp. with., eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h.
The aerodynamic section boasts lines that adorn the hood and extend to the windshield and rear-view mirrors, performing their function of creating forward resistance and therefore generating lift. The front grille is made in the form of an oval with original grilles, in the center of which the characteristic trident of the brand stands out.
“The new Maserati GranTurismo solves the ‘impossible equation’ of combining sporty performance with long-distance comfort, whether with internal combustion engines or the most innovative 100% electric solutions, setting the benchmark in its segment,” the company said in a statement.
