Uploaded 1 year ago by Out of Spec Reviews

Video Summary

Here is a summary of the YouTube video, per your instructions:
- The vehicle is the first full electric Maserati, called the GranTurismo Folgore (Folgore means Electric).
- It is a two-door, 2+2 coupe.
- Maserati is committed to having a full battery electric version of each of its cars by 2025, and will be fully electric by 2030.
- Owners can choose a combustion or electric model, but the electric is the top one.
- The sound of the old Maserati 4.7 L V8 will be missed; it's now out of production.
- The chassis is pretty much the same for the combustion and electric models.
- The battery is mid-90-kilowatt-hour gross, and mid-80s usable, with large buffers.
- The battery pack is T-shaped, with one module running down the middle of the car, and one module that goes across the car.
- It has close to 50/50 weight distribution, with a more central weight distribution than the combustion model.
- The car has three electric motors, making 570-kilowatt peak power output (equivalent to 761 hp).
- The two rear motors are not mechanically linked; with torque vectoring, they drift around the track.
- The battery may not be able to expand all of the power from all motors, which was possibly detuned in preparation for the MC20 release.
- 270-kilowatt DC fast charging is expected, and is similar to the Taycan.
- In AC charging, settings let users select low and high levels.
- An option for slower DC charge will preserve battery.
- There is some skepticism as, known for its experience, that something may be missing when the car goes electric.
- The car has an excellent sound system, named best in-car system of the year in Europe.
- Owners can match their car's Rame Folgore paint to the speaker's Ecornil front panel.
- Inside the car, a number of features are available, such as a large central console, a digital rear view mirror, performance optimizer and three distinct drive modes,
- Known to the interior, the 2-by-2 design could still comfortably seat at least two full-size adult passengers.
- It has the expected to be a 48-amp onboard charger in the US, which is what the on-board charger should have.
- A 4.7L V8 version is no longer available.
- It is hoped the new electric version can retain some of the old character.
- The start/stop button is low quality.
- High speed, good handling, crazy drifting and being fun will require selecting the electric model.
