Meanwhile, Head of Design Klaus Busse detailed the GranCabrio Folgore’s role as the final capstone to the new era of design language that the MC20 ushered in way back in September of 2020. Maserati’s trident theme appears more frequently on the electric version, as do unique Econyl seat inserts with laser-etched patterns. Even sound design for the electric drivetrain’s aural presence, pumped into the cabin via 19 Sonus Faber speakers, aims to enhance the so-called “Tridentity” of the new EVs.
Enhancing the performance and panache of Maserati’s fully electric lineup aims less at increasing sales volumes exponentially, however. Instead, Grasso emphasized the need for Maserati to remain both luxurious and exclusive in the electric era. “The goal for us,” he said, “is to produce one less than the market wants.”
So, as with the MC20’s slow rollout, buyers should certainly expect to experience enforced scarcity, when the GranCabrio Folgore starts shipping in Q4 of this year.
