Maserati knows how to make a beautiful car. Clean, unfussy surfaces, and spot-on proportions sitting over the wheels. The interior surface finishing is a little over-cooked for my taste, but presumably there are other options. Hoping for the best for them!

Good to finally see a new coupe from Maserati, and I'm so glad their EV offering is a gorgeous coupe that just happens to be an EV, so it still has those classic proportions. That being said, I'd take mine with the V6 as noise still remains an important part of the experience for me (actually, I'd take a DB12 over this, but that's another story). Good to see Maserati getting back into their stride. Lets hope it continues.
Filmed in my back yard! Great review Jonny, learned loads about the car. Beautiful looking car, but can’t help thinking the Folgore looks a little too conservative considering the price tag? Must go and see one.
Not cheap by any means, like its MC20 brother. Hard to gauge how many will sell in today's climate, but we do know more Turbo S Taycans sell than any other model.
@@TheLateBrakeShow Maserati are hopeless at marketing their cars and making people aware they exist. Just ask JayEmm. He's owned several Maseratis and Maserati UK still won't even talk to him - they're stuck in the print era.
Digswell viaduct, good spot to review a car, as it's longer a no through road. When passing through Codicote did you carrying on up the B656, that can be a fun bit of road. Loving the new Maserati EV, good to see they haven't tried to give it an electric car look, it has styling people can relate to. I'm not a fan of manufactures trying to make their EV designs look different because it's electric.
What a gorgeous machine! First EV thats made me go wow, id say its good news for italian car lovers, hopefully some of it will cascade down to Alfa being the same company, I adore my Giulia.
That looks beautiful. I love the format of the batteries enabling a lower car and therefore seating. Its really important so you don't feel like you're sitting 'on' a car. So many EV cars look slightly wrong because the cabin has been stretched upwards to mask the skateboard of batteries. Great video Jonny. Love your presenting style.
Don’t believe the marketing. They have stuffed the battery where the gearbox and drive shafts normally are. It’s a compromise of a shared platform. It’s why the range is so poor compared to ground up EVs.
@@elliotsimpson1148 I completely understand what youre saying Elliot. The downside of not using a skateboard of batteries is probably, less range. But.... The happy upside of sticking batteries where gearboxes, fuel tanks and drive shafts should be is the proportions can remain the same as an ICE vehicle. Like I said, I find the skateboard EVs quite often look wrong as the seating position is so high.
Going electric takes nothing away from the romance we associate with the best Italian marques. This handsome car proves that. Great review, thanks Jonny!
Great video Johnny. Im not fan of a fully electric car but this Maserati look s magnificent. Few months ago I bought Škoda Octavia RS plug-in and I must confess that when it runs in electric mode is very quick and quiet in the city. But I cant see myself driving full electric car just jet 😊
If I were able to splash that sort of cash, I’d have this over a German or Tesla alternative in a heartbeat. Those cars are everywhere but you just know these won’t be.
It's a real surprise to me that Maserati haven't half-arsed this, and have designed it EV-first. Starting with the Gran Turismo shows a respect and awareness of their brand and heritage. Lots of companies are happy to throw that away for a quick buck.
What a pretty thing! They really nailed this, looks & function wise. As a mere mortal, can only hope these will folllow the typical depreciaton curve for left field Italian exotica.Could make for a great 2nd or 3rd hand purchase in a couple of years time.
Like the Ferrari Roma and the MC 20 it’s a Fantastic classic design beauty. No massive gaping grille. I’d love to see this design language ontheir SUV range. As with EV’s Whether or not the batteries are sustainable for the planet is the concern which should always be addressed.
Johny another great video. Totally agree with you that EVs and petrol cars can coexist. Love that Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is keeping with its tradition and it's not some futuristic-looking EV, but proper Italian beauty. 😍😍
Great review Johnny 👍🏼 After owning a new Ghibli S when first launched, completely resonate with the Alfa driver comment, yes it’s going to break, yes it will spend time back at the dealership. But I want one sooo badly to replace my Taycan Turbo S. I have thus far been unable to get contract hire figures on the Folgore, 2% BIK makes this a no brainier for those company buyers looking for something a little away from the German norm. If any one has access to Business Leasing figures please let me know 🙏🏼
I think what Maserati have done with the battery pack is quite clever. I've been wondering why car makers have insisted on having a big slab under the floor, which either robs legroom or forces a SUV shape. Hopefully we'll see a few more manufacturers following this strategy and giving us some low, wide, sleek looking EVs.
It's not hard to understand - it's obviouisly way cheaper to design a pack that is effcietvely 2D, instead of 3D in it's shape, and 99% of EV buyers would prefer to sit higher anyway (in case you hadn't noticed the success of the SUV fad)
That IS a pretty car! I think there was a smudge on the camera though as it was blurring bang on where speed was indicated! 😂 Also I wonder when it’ll be when you, with the fleece, with do an EV barn find? 😮 🤔
@@MarcCoteMusic myriad forum posts, TH-cam videos etc of failed and broken Teslas... Tesla consistently the least reliable carmaker in manufacturer ratings tables...
How'd they squeeze that size battery in that tiny t-shape. It's time to pull it out, line it up next to a Volt battery that had what 16 or 18 kWh, and say WTAF?
Not the new Lotus Emeya as a rival? it has the 800 charging system, i find it strange you mention all the other cars twice but not mention the Lotus Emeya once.
For the last 20 years, Maseratis always looked like they had 3 designers. 1 did the front, 1 did the side and 1 did the back and none of these 3 actually communicated with each other and 1 of them was only there on a YTS scheme. They always had 1 problem viewing angle. This is a safe copy of the Jaguar with a slightly janky back end.
At the end of the day, if you like ev's or not. We need brands to keep making cars like this and stepping up the game. Also I grew up 50 metres away from where you recorded under the viaducts😂
For what it is and what it gives for an EV, its great value for the price, you can buy a Merc thats ugly and pay allot more than that , brilliant video Jonny 👍
Ok, so a Maserati is completely out of my budget, and always likely to be, but dreams are free. I like the GranTurismo for 2 main reasons: It's beautiful, and the V8 is the best sounding engine you'll find anywhere. I'm glad they haven't ruined the looks, but take that V8 snarl away and I'm no longer interested. By all means put the electric drivetrain in the Guacamole, because I'd never want one of those anyway. I'd rather have a leg off than have an SUV that can't be used off road.
Hm they only get a meagre 279miles out of a substantial 83kEh net battery... not so impressive esp for a GT. The design however is outstandingly beautiful ❤
Beautiful looking car, but I predict it will be a damp squib. For any motor manufacturer to concentrate mainly on EV’s will be nails in their coffin. The only people who will buy these new will be business’s purely for tax reasons . The depreciation will be eye watering and 3 years down the line, the market for a car like this will be limited. Look at the taycan values for proof of what happens to high end EV’s.
I will need the petrol one for the weekends and the EV as a daily driver. Because it is a tad boring to drive as an EV. And who spends 200k to be bored?
That's a really nice car and i can see the appeal but I'm not sure any EV can be a true GT until the technology improves, this GT couldn't complete with a humble ICE city car on an actual grand tour.
So 250 +250 + 250...come on you know what it is ? comedy genius , thank you Jonny for the split second laugh brilliant. The enemy of the electric car is the wait , your telling me sod that hanging around for a charge Oh great review too.
Instead of getting a matte paintjob id get the the free paint available and wrap it afterwards in a matte colour. Matte paintjobs are a pain in the ass when the car has to be repainted after a crash.
yes, and it costs almost HALF the price, has four doors with way more range and technology. The Maserati remains a car for those who prioritise style and exclusivity...
Like the Alfa Romeo buyer analogy. And sadly it has the same problem like the Alfa Romeo Giulia. its to bloody expenise for its calls. The GranTurismo should be priced below a base 911 Carrera 2.... not like a 911 GT3.... the cheapes Giulia costs 45k here and you can get a new Audi A4 for 31k.... yeah the Audiis barebones but it gets buyers to showrooms and cars on the road.
I have just never warmed up to the trident as a car mfg. …. They just don’t move me. Some of the old ones are nice but i lost interest when they released the bi-turbo sedan.
What's the point of this, Wales has had a poll, would you rather be hit by a 2 ton EV or a 1 ton combustion engine vehicle , so they are banned from next year? not that anyone could afford one?
It has no soul. It is like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Replacements that look the same yet better, faster yet the same, everything about it is perfect and better yet there is no soul
It would be slower, it would leak half a dozen fluids right away and need servicing every other day. No, being a Maserati it's definitely better of electric.
I sold Maseratis for a few years, ending around 2017. At that time the Gran Turismo was long in the tooth and the Levante had just come out. Good to see they are getting back to some cutting edge competitive tech to go with their beautiful styling!
whilst maybe long in the tooth, the gran turismo was always a magnificent and up-to-date looking car, something that properly showed the italian tradition of timeless beauty
