Maserati has released several teaser images for its upcoming 'GranTurismo EV,' a luxury electric sportscar that will replace its 'GranTurismo Sports' coupe. These new photos depict the upcoming car with a new paint job and design. Maserati called the camouflage-style paint job 'Folgore,' which translates to "lightning" from Italian. The design itself is a mixture of shapes and symbols in yellow, white, and blue, overlayed on a black background. The exterior body of the GranTurismo EV is nearly identical to the GranTurismo Sports coupe.
The Folgore name is most likely a nod to the fact that this car features an electric powertrain, as opposed to an internal combustion engine like its predecessor. Maserati will release the full details of the GranTurismo EV Folgore later this year. This reveal will include performance specifications, pricing, release date, and its available regions.
