Here’s How Far The Electric Maserati GranTurismo Folgore Goes On A Charge

The convertible loses some range to its coupe counterpart.

The first two all-electric Maserati models—the GranTurismo Folgore 4-seat coupe and the GranCabrio Folgore convertible—were officially listed on the EPA’s website, revealing their range and energy consumption numbers.

The results bring some mixed feelings, as the 300-mile mark has been beyond reach despite a hefty $200,000 price tag in the U.S.

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore has an EPA Combined range of 242 miles, compared to 280 miles or 450 km under the European WLTP test cycle.

The 2024 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore has a slightly higher energy consumption, translating into a lower range of 233 miles. On the other hand, in many cases, it might be enough for a Sunday ride.

Let’s recall that the two siblings are equipped with a 92.5-kilowatt-hour battery (total capacity). The battery system itself is 800-volt class.

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore’s energy consumption, including charging losses, is estimated at 87 MPGe, or about 387 watt-hours per mile or 2.6 miles/kWh. The convertible gets 82 MPGe: 411 Wh/mi or 2.4 miles/kWh.

The energy consumption numbers are definitely not the greatest—even when compared with other high-performance EVs, like the Tesla Model S Plaid, which is rated at 107 MPGe (96 MPGe with optional 21-inch wheels).

We guess there might be room for improvement in the powertrain area. The two Maserati models are currently equipped with three 300-kilowatt permanent magnet synchronous motors (one in the front and two in the rear e-axle) for all-wheel drive.

The 800-volt electric powertrain system comes from Marelli, which underlines 9.2-kW power density and 1,350 Nm of peak total torque. The installed peak power output of the powertrain is 1,200 HP or some 900 kilowatts; however, the battery’s maximum discharge power seems to limit it to 560 kW.

According to the manufacturer, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore’s 0-60 mph acceleration takes just about 2.6 seconds. The convertible is a bit slower at 2.7 seconds and has a lower top speed of 180 mph compared to 202 mph in the GranTurismo.

Another thing is that the electric Maseratis are relatively heavy at 4,982 lbs or 5,158 lbs for the convertible. For reference, the Tesla Model S starts at 4,560 lbs, while the Plaid’s weight is 4,776 lbs.

Pricing

The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore starts at an MSRP of $192,000, while the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore costs $13,000 more—$205,000. That’s before options and without a $1,995 destination charge.

The model is imported from Italy, so it does not qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit and exceeds the incentive’s $55,000 price cap.
