THE FORMER FLAGSHIP of Maserati's GranTurismo coupé range (named MC Stradale) was lighter, louder and quicker than its lesser stablemates. Now, though, there's a new flagship, and while it's still the quickest, it's a lot quieter and much heavier than its siblings.
That's because it trades V8 petrol for electric power. Less aggressively styled than other GranTurismos, courtesy of different bumpers and wheels, the Folgore is powered by three electric motors (two for the rear wheels and one for the fronts). The front motor looks after propulsion most of the time, to maximise efficiency, including when cruising, with the rear motors kicking in only during acceleration. However, switch to the most aggressive Corsa mode and it's the rear motors that do the heavy lifting.
