Maserati, a luxury division of Stellantis, introduced its new GranTurismo model on Monday. The company plans to officially introduce this as its first totally electric vehicle the following year. As part of a larger turnaround strategy, the company, which returned to an operational profit last year, has pledged completely electric versions of all of its automobiles by 2025, also known as “folgore” variants.
Maserati said in a statement that the electric power train for the new grand tourer would be derived from Formula E technology, in which the Italian brand will start competing next year.
The new GranTurismo will also be available with a three-litre, six-cylinder internal combustion engine (ICE) in two versions capable of 490 and 500 horse power, Maserati added.
Both the fully electric and the ICE versions will have an indicative starting price of about €200,000 ($195,000), right below the entry price for a Ferrari.
The GranTurismo will be produced at Stellantis’s Mirafiori plant in Turin.
Maserati will provide further details of the new car at its official presentation in the first quarter of next year, with sales expected to start in the second quarter.
