The Electric Maserati GranTurismo Is Better With Ice: First Drive Review
The era of electric vehicle saturation is upon us, and Maserati has joined the party. It's a trio, all named Folgore—Italian for lightning, and a clever way to bring Maserati's flavor to electrification—made up of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio, as…
