Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:- The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is an all-new, all-electric model with traditional petrol styling cues.
- When the car goes on sale in spring 2023, a twin-turbo V6 petrol version from the MC20 supercar will also be available.
- Maserati’s future strategy is to offer either petrol or electric versions of their cars; there will be no plug-in hybrids.
- The Folgore’s styling is conservative rather than a radical redesign.
- The car has a long bonnet, low roof, and a big grill; all aluminum body.
- There is no "frunk" on the all-electric model, and owners cannot open the bonnet.
- The petrol version has a Moden version, which is 483 horsepower, and a Trofeo that is 542 horsepower.
- The three motors in the all-electric Folgore (one at the front, two at the rear) can produce a combined output of 1,200 hp, however, the battery's maximum electric output restricts this to 750 horsepower.
- The electric power from the battery can be sent to the rear pair of motors for maximum acceleration, or it can be divided among all three motors for torque vectoring through corners.
- The all-wheel-drive car goes from 0-62 in 2.7 seconds.
- The car has a decent trunk space of 270 liters with a slightly higher boot floor.
- There is adequate space for four adults in the car.
- The dashboard has a two-stage screen that is angled.
- Buttons on the steering wheel control start-stop and the drive mode switch.
- The indicators give an annoying beep.
- The ride feels nicely damped and engaging, with some body roll.
- The all-electric Folgore has a 93kWh battery with 83 kWh of usable capacity, and is claiming about 280 miles of range.
- The all electric version weights 2,260 kilos.
- The Brembo brakes feel natural, with some regenerative braking, but with more breaking feel and 0.5 G force.
- There's a drift mode.
- With a 50/50 weight distribution the car felt playful.
- The chassis balance is great, resists understeer really well, so everything is very well put together.
- Because the Grand Tourer is being reinvented as an everyday supercar and with it's guilt free emission, it is at the cutting edge of what future GT cars need to be.
- The reviewers thought the car's design had some of the same fluidity as the MC20 Super Car.
- The car should have an edge for acceleration and the lap times are said to be very evenly spaced.
- The reviewer said it's really a grand tourer and not a drift machine.
