Video Summary

Sure, here is a summary of the video review, formatted as requested:
- The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is Maserati's first-ever electric car, a four-seat, gorgeous coupé.
- The GT name has been in use for 75 years.
- All components of this car are new.
- The moniker 'Folgore' is Italian for lightning and is used to brand their electric cars.
- Maserati is releasing a redesigned GranTurismo as both a piston car, and the 800-volt, 280-mile range EV model.
- The EV has one motor at the front and two at the back, for a combined output of 750 horsepower and 1350 Newton-meters of torque.
- DC charging to 80 percent in about 15 minutes.
- The car has four seats, four driving modes, and four regen levels.
- Electric version has three portholes on the side.
- The battery packs are designed in a T-shape configuration, going down the center console and across under the back seat to keep the center of gravity low.
- Tire sizes are 265/35 ZR20 at the front, and 295/30 ZR21 in the rear, efficient rubber is needed for range.
- Rivals include the Porsche Taycan, Audi RS e-tron, and the Lucid Air.
- The four large buttons serve as the transmission controls.
- Car is an air-ride with an adaptive suspension.
- The GT has been a Maserati DNA signature for many years.
- The car's suspension is great for hiding its 2.2-ton weight.
- While the styling could be construed as safe or subtle, overall, this is Maserati getting its mojo back, and making products that can finally speak for themselves.
- With only four people this car has a boot space that is possibly small.
