Video Summary

Here is the YouTube video summary:

The vehicle is the all-new Maserati Grand Cabrio Folgore.

It is powered by three electric motors. One in the front and two in the rear making 751 horsepower in standard driving. It can make up to 818 horsepower when launch control is activated.

It produces 996 pound-feet of torque.

Zero to 60 happens in 2.7 seconds.

It has a range of 233 miles.

It can achieve a top speed of 180 miles per hour.

Folgore means lightning in Italian.

The battery architecture has a unique T-shape design.

The T-part is behind the rear seats, allowing the front seats to be lower than any other EV.

Maserati says that this is the lowest EV on the market.

It is spectacular looking and similar to the Grand Cabrio Trofeo.

The side vents illuminate and it comes with 20-inch wheels in the front and 21-inch wheels in the back.

The folding top folds in just 18 seconds.

The interior is gorgeous with fantastic seat design, a Sonos Faber system with a beautiful design, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, climate controls, nice carbon fiber covering of extra storage, and a great feeling steering wheel.

Driving is enabled via a start button.

There are different drive modes to choose from, including Max Range, GT, Sport, and Corsa mode.

The paddles are used to change the regenerative braking.

It is significantly faster than the Trofeo.

The test driver was overall impressed with its features and acceleration, noting the car's extremely impressive breaking performance.

The acceleration is more relaxed in GT mode and comes on smoother.

It is spaciously comfortable, even with the top raised.

The regenerative braking system is performing in an optimal fashion.

The Maserati's interior is made from fishnets and recycled plastic.

Thrust and power delivery to motors are displayed.

The car’s isolation with the top up is extraordinarily impressive for an EV, allowing the driver to clearly hear the outside environment more than an internal combustion engine car.
