Maserati Grecale Folgore

The fully electric Maserati Grecale Folgore (for lightning) will touch down in dealerships a year after the combustion car, as one of six new electric Maserati models due by 2025.
Revealed today alongside the standard Maserati Grecale, which gets mild hybrid four-cylinder and pure-petrol V6 engine options, the Grecale Folgore will take on Porsche’s upcoming Macan EV and the Audi Q6 E-tron when it goes on sale next summer
It will be sold initially alongside electric versions of the reborn Granturismo and open-top Grancabrio, due to be revealed later this year, and joined before 2025 by pure-EV versions of the Maserati MC20supercar, Quattroporte sports saloon and larger Levante SUV.
From 2025 onwards, Maserati will launch only pure-electric cars, joining the other European premium brands under the Stellantis umbrella: DS, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo. 
Technical details of the Grecale Folgore remain largely under wraps this far out from its launch, but Maserati promises it will pack up to 590lb ft – almost as much as the Audi E-tron S, which cracks 0-62mph in 4.5sec – and has a 105kWh battery, which could feasibly supply upwards of 350 miles of range.
It is unclear also whether Maserati’s re-engineering of the Giorgio platform to accommodate an electric drivetrain holds any implications for the future of the similarly sized Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which rides on the same platform.
