Meet the New Maserati GranTurismo: Sporty, Electric, and Almost as Expensive as Ferrari
What’s Going on? Maserati, the Italian boss inside the giant Stellantis family, just rolled out the latest GranTurismo. It’s a double‑whammy: a sleek carbon‑fiber chassis for speed junkies and a fully‑electric sibling that can race on Formula E tracks.
Electric Dreams, 2025 Reality
Last year the brand finally turned a profit again. Now, it’s betting big: every Maserati car will hit 100 % battery mode by the end of 2025. Think of it as a game of “concrete racing” where your neighbor’s Prius is now a minivan cup‑cake.
The Powertrain Pizzazz
- The electric version borrows tech straight from Formula E—so expect a 21‑second 0‑100 km/h sprint (no, it’s not about the speed, it’s about the brag‑rights).
- The combustion (ICE) variant comes with a 3‑liter six‑cylinder monster that can spit out 490 or 500 horsepower. That’s enough to make your neighbor’s truck look like a mule.
Price Tag: “Almost Ferrari”
Both versions will start around €200,000 (roughly S$281,452). It’s a bit shy of Ferrari, but the only thing Ferrari can throw back is the “Look at my logo, not your logo” argument.
Where the Magic Happens
The new GT will be built at Stellantis’s Mirafiori plant in Turin. That’s the same place where the legendary Alfa‑Romeo line had its glory. So you know it’s artisanal.
Upcoming Show‑Stopper
Stay tuned: Maserati will give the full scoop in a premiere next year’s Q1, with sales kicking off in Q2. Pack your bags for a test drive, because who’s going to back out when you get a drive that feels like flying on a jet?
PS: If you’re still scratching your head wondering how a car can be both electric and petrol, take a look at this article—you’ll see the future is full of surprises.
