Stellantis CEO takes the GranTurismo Folgore for a spin in Rome

A prototype of the GranTurismo Folgore coupe was seen driving in Rome. According to a press release from Maserati, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares himself drove the prototype car to the Eternal City's Formula E circuit where the Rome E-Prix 2022 took place.

It was a befitting of the GranTurismo Folgore first outing as the Trident brand looks to become the first Italian marque to compete in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, as well as to become the first Italian luxury car marque to produce 100-percent electric models.

The GranTurismo Folgore will be the first Maserati to use 100-percent electric solutions. Per the Trident brand, the EV coupe will make its debut sometime in 2023 and will be built at the company’s Mirafori facility.
