Adopting Maserati’s Folgore suffix (Italian for ‘lightning’), it will return as a zero-emissions four-doorway grand tourer, sitting down amongst the Levante SUV – which will also go electrical-only for its 2nd era in 2025 – and the newly unveiled Granturismo coupé, Maserati’s first foray into the EV environment.

Maserati desires to situation the Quattroporte to straddle the luxurious and govt saloon segments, in spite of their large-achieving value distinctions (at present, the Ghibli expenses pretty much £24,000 significantly less than the £92,825 Quattroporte).
This suggests the manufacturer will glimpse to attract individuals driving the likes of both the Mercedes-Benz EQE and the BMW i7 who want even a lot more exclusivity.

“With the EV, everything is modifying. The segments are crossing [over] just about every other,” he stated.
The Quattroporte will be based mostly on the new Maserati created underpinnings of the Granturismo (which will also be applied for all upcoming Folgore models and the brand’s closing combustion-engined autos).
It has been developed for optimum fat distribution, with the battery positioned in a T-condition minimal and along the centre of the chassis.
