After many years of difficulties due to the lack of new offers, It seems that Maserati has finally come out of its stupor. The considered Italian brand the third brand of sports cars after Ferrari and Lamborghini, was sidelined due to the priority given to the Jeep and Alfa Romeo brands within the former Fiat-Chrysler group. Who had serious financial difficulties. However, since the merger with PSA to create the new Stellantis group, there has been a synergy and unification of platforms and engines. Now that each brand in the group has a clearly defined position and directors and teams to support them in the transition, everything is easier for Maserati.

Maserati is taking its future into its own hands

Before this, Maserati’s lineup was considered aging, with the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans dating back to 2013.. Fortunately, the brand’s sales were saved by the Levante SUV, released in 2017. A return to balance and a merger with PSA confirmed the release of the MC20 supercar in 2020. This past year, the brand released two new successful models: Compact SUV Grecale and especially sports GranTurismo of the second generation. It modernized the style of its predecessor released in 2007. GranTurismo perfectly embodies the Italian elegance and sophistication of the Maserati brand. The good news is that the brand decided to wait until 2030 to switch to 100% electricity. As such, it has retained two versions of the V6 in its range. But what about the next Quattroporte, due in 2024?

Exclusively electric Quattroporte

Unfortunately, unlike its younger sporty sister, it will be 100% electric. She will be responsible for to replace the current Quattroporte, as well as the shorter Ghibli. Therefore, the exercise will be intermediate. It is based on the STLA Large electric platform, as well as the following electric Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia. So much the worse for the singing sound of the engine, but so much the better for the life expectancy, which will be clearly better than the current one. And this despite the more compact format. It will use 800V technology for a record charging time, with a A battery with a capacity of 92.5 kWh or even 120 kWh in future. It supports fast DC charging up to 270 kW. A figure that places him on the same level as the current Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. Scheduled to arrive in late 2024, it should cost more than €170,000.
