maserati – AutoApp Dev https://www.autoapp.sg/dev Tue, 22 Jul 2025 16:48:06 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 Maserati Unveils New MCPura https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=282983 Tue, 22 Jul 2025 16:48:06 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=282983 Revealed as the latest jewel in the Trident’s crown, the Maserati MCPura is the spiritual successor to the MC20.


MC stands for Maserati Corse, a familiar nod to its motorsport roots, and Pura means “pure” in Italian. This is a car with no frills, no excess, just pure Maserati.

Maserati MCPura

Designed entirely in Modena, the MCPura is Maserati’s love letter to timeless automotive design.

Inspired by icons like the 1959 Maserati Tipo 60 “Birdcage”, the MCPura adopts a canopy-style cockpit, low-slung and poised, wrapped in a teardrop silhouette that balances downforce with drama.

Maserati MCPura

At the rear, the Trident’s design team has sculpted a floating wing that emerges like a rising sun, seamlessly integrated into the bodywork. It’s part of an active aerodynamic system that adjusts based on speed and driver demand.

Maserati MCPura

Under the skin, Maserati houses a mid-mounted 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine. If the name sounds familiar, it should. This is the same engine that powers the MC20 supercar, re-tuned here to match the Pura’s balanced spirit.

Exact performance figures remain shrouded in Modenese mystique for now, but if the MC20 is anything to go by, expect the kind of shove that pins your shoulders back and ignites childlike glee. The MC Pura may be designed for the road, but its soul lives on the circuit.

Maserati MCPura cabin

Inside, the ethos of purity continues. No oversized screens or blinding tech gimmicks here. Instead, Maserati has gone tactile — leather, carbon fibre, and machined metal. Every touchpoint has been considered. Every control exists for a reason.

While details remain under wraps, the cabin is expected to seat two in what Maserati describes as a “driver-first experience”, a space that cocoons, not isolates.

Maserati MCPura

Built on Maserati’s bespoke monocoque chassis, the MCPura is being assembled at the brand’s Viale Ciro Menotti factory, a site that has produced Trident icons for over 80 years.

Maserati says the MCPura “is not only a car, it is an idea.” And maybe that’s true. Because this isn’t about chasing horsepower figures or Nürburgring lap times. It’s about returning to something essential. The joy of driving, the beauty of form, the purity of purpose.

In an age where automotive identity is being diluted into shared platforms and soulless screens, the MCPura is a reminder of what Maserati was, is, and still could be. Elegant. Emotional. Enduring.

Maserati Grecale Folgore Review https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=282390 Sat, 31 May 2025 18:04:37 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=282390 With a name like “Grecale Folgore”, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the villain in a mid-season episode of The Sopranos.


But this isn’t a wise guy from Jersey, but rather Maserati’s first all-electric SUV. ‘Grecale’ refers to a north-eastern Mediterranean wind, and ‘Folgore’? That’s lightning. Fitting, considering this near-2.5-tonne Italian stallion can rocket to 100km/h in just 4.1 seconds.

But don’t let the poetry of the name fool you. The Grecale Folgore is a serious proposition for Maserati, the start of a high-voltage handshake to the future.

Familiar Face, Very Different Heart

Maserati Grecale Folgore

At first glance, the Folgore doesn’t scream “EV”, and that’s entirely intentional. Instead of blank grilles and novelty lighting signatures, the Folgore retains the regal elegance of its ICE siblings, albeit with the faintest flicker of copper trim to mark its electric bloodline.

Maserati Grecale Folgore

Look closely and you’ll spot subtle tweaks: filled-in front wing vents now glow with LEDs, and the front grille features fewer air openings.

It’s 4.8 metres long, stands 1.6m tall, and has a near-three-metre wheelbase, which translates to a cabin roomy enough for your average basketball forward. Boot space stands at 535 litres.

Maserati Grecale Folgore cabin

Up on the flight deck, you still get a Maserati clock – now digital, with changeable faces for g-force, direction, throttle pressure and more. It’s flanked by twin touchscreens (12.3in above, 8.8in below) and a crisp digital instrument cluster.

Maserati Grecale Folgore infotainment screen

Infotainment, though, is a mixed bag. The upper touchscreen is sharp and intuitive. The lower climate screen, however, feels like overkill with the array of functions available, and occasionally lagged during our drive.

The driving position sits at a sweet spot between commanding SUV and low-slung GT. The steering wheel is satisfyingly chunky, with cruise and infotainment controls at your thumbs, and a drive selector on the lower spoke. Physical door handles are out; in their place is a soft-touch button system.

Maserati Grecale Folgore boot

Cabin materials are typically premium; leather comes standard, but for the eco-minded, there’s also Econyl, a material spun from recycled fishing nets.

Electric, Not Generic

Push the blue-lit starter button and instead of a barky V6, you’re greeted with a deep, digital hum. It’s not the soul-stirring song of a Ferrari-derived V8, but it sets the tone.

With 550bhp and 820Nm from twin motors, performance is brisk, not ludicrous. Maserati clearly tuned the Grecale for smoothness over savagery. It’s quick enough to surprise unsuspecting hot hatches, but it delivers that speed with a waft, not a wallop.

Maserati Grecale Folgore

Built on a heavily reworked version of the Giorgio platform, the Grecale Folgore benefits from adaptive air suspension, multi-link rear geometry and electromagnetic damping. In GT mode, it feels composed, absorbing bumps, ironing out undulations, and masking its bulk with real grace… if you are travelling at modest speeds.

The soft suspension makes the car squat hard when presented with too much power, resulting in the front wheels lifting off and being unable to provide traction. 

This effect is lessened in Sport mode, but the car still feels too soft considering the amount of power it can churn out.

Maserati Grecale Folgore

Off-Road mode lifts the car and softens the springs for trail use, or more realistically, navigating multi-storey car park ramps without scraping the splitter. Max Range mode, predictably, dials everything back to preserve electrons.

Steering is progressive and nicely weighted. The braking system is functional but lacks finesse, with regen blending into mechanical stopping in a slightly clumsy fashion. Over-sized regen paddles let you adjust on the fly, and yes, one-pedal driving is available. Relying on a comfortable regen setting and coasting to a stop would provide the best ride for your occupants.

Compared to the ICE Grecale?

Maserati Grecale Folgore

If you swapped the Folgore badge for a Trofeo one and turned up the synthetic engine noise, you’d struggle to tell the difference. And that’s the point. Maserati wants this to feel like a Maserati, not an electric experiment. Laminated glass, extra bushings, and extensive sound insulation help it whisper along, even at motorway speeds. It’s quiet, polished, and despite its size, feels nimble enough in daily use.

The 105kWh battery is good for 501 kilometres according to Maserati, but we’d bank on around 390-400 kilometres in real-world conditions. The battery does support up to 205kW DC charging too, which futureproofs the car for the foreseeable future.

A Whisper Of The Old World

Maserati Grecale Folgore

The Maserati Grecale Folgore isn’t the quickest, lightest, or most tech-forward electric SUV. It’s not chasing headlines or TikTok drag races. Instead, it’s targeting a more discerning audience, those who want elegance over excess.

Sure, the Porsche Macan EV will likely outrun it. The BMW iX will dazzle with tech. The Lotus Eletre might just dance around it in the bends. But the Maserati? It delivers a different, soulful kind of drama.

Maserati has resisted the urge to scream its electric credentials from the rooftops, instead choosing to craft an EV that feels and drives like it belongs. And in a world of cookie-cutter electric SUVs, that counts for more than ever.

Maserati Launches Folgore Range In Singapore https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=281592 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 17:28:57 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=281592 They say lightning never strikes the same place twice, but the Italian Trident just launched three new electrified Maserati Folgore models. 


And just like that, Modena’s fabled trident carved out a new chapter in Singapore’s electrified motoring scene.

Meet the Maserati Folgore trio: Grecale, GranTurismo, and GranCabrio. Three distinctive models, one common current. In case your Italian’s a little rusty, Folgore translates to ‘lightning’.

A rather fitting label for Maserati’s new line of fully electric machines, infused with the brand’s signature flair for drama, speed, and unfiltered charisma.

Grecale Folgore

Maserati Grecale Folgore

We begin with the most grounded member of this electrified ensemble, the Grecale Folgore. Already known as Maserati’s first compact SUV, the Grecale now returns with a new heartbeat, powered by not one but two electric motors delivering a brawny 550bhp and 820Nm of torque to all four wheels.

A century sprint time of just 4.1 seconds, despite the SUV’s not-so-dainty kerb weight of 2.5 tonnes.

Thanks to a hefty 105kWh battery, the car has a range of 500km (WLTP). DC fast-charging at 150kW ensures that topping up from 20 to 80% takes only 29 minutes.

Maserati Grecale Folgore

Visually, Maserati has been generous with the details. The Folgore-exclusive grille, gloss-black inserts, and copper accents on the badging and brake calipers tell the world that this is no ordinary Grecale.

Inside, embossed patterns grace the dash, and you’re greeted by a 12.3-inch touchscreen, an additional 8.8-inch Comfort Display, and the same premium layout familiar to petrol-powered Grecales.

Practicality hasn’t been sacrificed at the altar of performance either, with the 535-litre boot remaining intact.

GranTurismo & GranCabrio Folgore

Maserati Grancabrio Folgore

Now, if the Grecale Folgore is a storm on wheels, then the GranTurismo Folgore and GranCabrio Folgore are pure, unadulterated lightning strikes.

Here, Maserati has gone all in; both cars are armed with a tri-motor setup (one in front, two in the rear), allowing for torque vectoring that can independently feed power to each rear wheel.

This means sharper handling, tighter cornering, and a level of dynamism not often associated with grand tourers.

Maserati Granturismo Folgore

Together, the trio of motors churn out 751bhp and 1,350Nm of torque, propelling the GranTurismo Folgore from zero to 100km/h in 2.7 seconds.

The GranCabrio follows closely behind at 2.8 seconds, its slight weight penalty offset by the joy of open-air motoring.

The 92.5kWh battery offers up to 455km of range in the GranTurismo and 447km in the GranCabrio. Thanks to their 800V architecture, both models can be juiced from 20 to 80% in 18 minutes using a 270kW DC charger.

And of course, they’re achingly pretty. The signature Maserati grille is finished in dark copper, matching the rest of the badging.

Inside, copper accents continue the theme, complemented by a triple-screen digital dashboard similar to that of the Grecale.

As the world’s first fully electric luxury convertible, the Grancabrio opens up its fabric roof in 14 seconds, even while moving at speeds of up to 50km/h.

A new dawn for the Trident

Each Maserati Folgore model is designed to preserve the brand’s storied DNA while writing a new future. One that’s quieter, cleaner, but no less exhilarating.

To some, the idea of an electric Maserati may sound like sacrilege. But to those who’ve seen lightning strike thrice, it feels like an interesting new direction.

Maserati Accelerates Into GEN4 Era of Formula E with Renewed Commitment https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=279371 Mon, 02 Dec 2024 15:06:13 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=279371 Maserati is set to continue its journey in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, embracing the next-generation GEN4 cars starting from Season 13 in 2026. 


After debuting in Season 9 with the Tipo Folgore GEN3 single-seater, Maserati has steadily showcased its engineering prowess.

Season 11 will see the evolution of these machines with the GEN3 EVO cars, boasting a blistering 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 1.82 seconds and regenerative capabilities of up to 600 kW.

Maserati Formula E Gen 4 Car

Come 2026, the upcoming GEN4 platform promises even greater advancements; four-wheel drive throughout the race, elevated power outputs, and unmatched levels of energy recovery, all designed to create more adrenaline-pumping action while adhering to Formula E’s sustainability ethos.

Santo Ficili, Maserati’s CEO, sees the championship as an extension of the brand’s DNA. “For Maserati, the bond between the track and the road is unbreakable. Formula E allows us to innovate in the most competitive environment, bringing those advancements to our 100% electric range, including the Grecale Folgore SUV and GranTurismo Folgore.”

By 2028, Maserati has aims to transition entirely to electric powertrains, a commitment reinforced by their involvement in Formula E. Whether their road cars will commit to being EVs remains up for grabs, but at least they are putting their best foot forwards for Formula E.

Maserati Formula E Gen 4 Car

Stellantis Motorsport, the parent company’s motorsport division, has been integral to Maserati’s progress. Jean-Marc Finot, Senior Vice President of Stellantis Motorsport, highlights the synergy: “We’ve been developing high-efficiency powertrains for Maserati and DS for over a decade. Formula E provides the ideal platform to push these technologies further.”

Jeff Dodds, Formula E’s CEO, also commended Maserati’s commitment: “Maserati’s presence exemplifies the championship’s status as a leader in electric innovation. Their journey mirrors Formula E’s mission to revolutionise mobility through sustainable technology.”

2024 Maserati GranTurismo Review https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=278350 Wed, 23 Oct 2024 19:46:03 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=278350 The 2024 Maserati GranTurismo looks a lot like the model that has graced our roads for 15 years.


But this consistency trait is for good reason. 

When you’re rebuilding a brand like Maserati, you don’t want to stray too far from what people love about your cars, especially the styling.

Maserati GranTurismo

Compared to its predecessor, the big visual change is in the vertically-placed headlights, plus 21-inch rear wheels give the car real presence.

That long bonnet might not be necessary anymore since it’s now a Nettuno V6, but its lines are still refined, elegant, and most importantly, familiar.

It’s a big, handsome machine, and it looks great even whilst stationary. 

Is the cabin as good?

Maserati GranTurismo cabin

Definitely. Spacious and beautifully crafted spring to mind when you step inside the Maserati GranTurismo.

Maserati has clearly put in the effort to give the cabin a luxurious feel, and those multiple screens do their job well, albeit with a myriad of fingerprints.

The analogue clock is actually another screen, which can be swapped out for a stopwatch, compass, or even a G-meter. Factor in the head-up display, and you’ve got a total of five screens.

And how’s the driving position?

Maserati GranTurismo seats

Perfect, as you’d expect in a grand tourer. The seats are beautifully shaped, providing the right balance of comfort and support. The driving position is low yet commanding, giving you a great view over that enormous clamshell bonnet.

Everything you touch feels premium and spacious, it’s lovely.

Spacious, you say?

There’s a surprising amount of room in the back too. Your head might graze the rear glass, but if you’re under 1.85 meters, you’ll fit just fine in the back.

Maserati GranTurismo boot

310 litres in the boot is sufficient for a golf bag and weekend necessities, making it a viable GT car for long journeys.

Come on, we’re here for the driving bit

Maserati GranTurismo

The old GranTurismo was a symphony of V8 goodness, one of those cars that made the hair on your arms stand at attention. Unfortunately, the new V6 isn’t as confidence-inspiring. Don’t expect the operatic highs of the old engine.

At low revs, in Comfort or GT modes, the Nettuno V6 sounds a bit gruff, like it’s just waking up. Every now and then, it coughs and stutters, clearing its throat before it gets going.

Not the best start it seems

Don’t worry, that’s pretty much where the Granturismo’s teething problems end. Once you’ve got the revs up and hit Sport or Corsa mode, this thing takes off like a scalded cat.

With 484bhp and 600Nm on tap, it’s properly quick. None of those silly exhaust pops in Sport mode too, so you won’t attract unwanted attention.

The ZF auto gearbox is smooth as butter, snapping through shifts with no drama, and the four-wheel drive gives you a rock-solid grip coming out of corners.

Maserati GranTurismo

The Granturismo doesn’t shy away from a little body roll. The air suspension helps manage the weight of passengers and luggage without much fuss, soaking up most bumps and keeping things comfortable.

If you’re on bumpier roads, you might find the firmer damping mode a tad too stiff, but switch to the softer setting and you’ll feel a bit of float. Switching between settings is easy too – there’s a button right on the steering wheel.

The steering is worth a shout-out. It’s not too quick, but it’s wonderfully progressive, meaning you can place this big machine exactly where you want in a corner.

Even when you hit bumps, it stays steady and surefooted. If I had to nitpick, it would be the brakes. The steel Brembo units are good, but I’d like a bit more feel from them.

And for long drives?

Maserati GranTurismo

Maserati’s got you covered. The adaptive cruise control is smooth and intuitive, and the instrument screen shows a detailed diagram of what’s around you. 

Surround cameras make parking an easy affair, making this grand tourer surprisingly easy to live with in urban environments.

È fantastico

Maserati GranTurismo

This car knows exactly what it is, a grand tourer made for the real world.

It’s not trying to be a track weapon like so many other high-end coupes. Instead, it’s focused on long-distance comfort, desirability, and style.

Maserati has momentum, investment, and the stunning MC20 as a halo car to lead the charge. The Maserati GranTurismo is their signature dish. Simply timeless.

Maserati Launches New Grancabrio https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=278234 Sat, 19 Oct 2024 10:14:48 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=278234 Maserati decided it was time for Singaporeans to let their hair down—literally—with the debut of the all-new GranCabrio.


Think of it as the GranTurismo’s more fun-loving, slightly rebellious sibling, swapping a hardtop for an elegant fabric roof that disappears at the push of a button. Maserati’s latest creation is here to remind us that driving isn’t just about getting from point A to point B, it’s also about looking good while doing it.

The GranCabrio arrives in the high-performance Trofeo trim, carrying a price tag of SGD 888,000 (excluding COE). Under the hood is a growling 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno engine, serving up a hefty 542hp.

That’s the kind of power that makes traffic lights feel more like launchpads, and highways feel like runways. It’s the car for those who like their drives with a side of adrenaline, all while turning heads at every corner.

And let’s talk about that soft top. Gone are the days of fiddling with roof latches or waiting ages to go topless (the car, of course). The GranCabrio’s fabric roof folds away in a cool 14 seconds—yes, even while you’re driving at up to 50 km/h.

Whether you’re taking a solo joyride or filling the four seats with friends, this convertible lets you bask in the sunshine, with the wind in your hair and the Nettuno engine purring like a contented tiger.

Of course, Maserati isn’t new to the open-top game. The GranCabrio pays tribute to the brand’s first road-going sports car, the 3500 GT, whose convertible version debuted back in 1959. Sixty-plus years later, Maserati is still proving that when it comes to luxury convertibles, they know exactly what they’re doing.

The GranCabrio is proudly 100% Italian-made, with every curve and detail oozing that unmistakable “la dolce vita” vibe.

Inside, the GranCabrio is just as suave as you’d expect. It’s not all about looking good, though—Maserati’s thought about comfort too. Need to stay toasty while cruising with the roof down? No problem. There’s a built-in neck warmer with three levels of cosy heat, so you can keep the chill at bay while staying effortlessly cool.

Want to keep turbulence from messing up your hair? There’s an optional wind stopper to keep things calm and collected in the cabin. Maserati has you covered—literally and figuratively.

Now, just because the roof is fabric doesn’t mean you’ll be sacrificing comfort. This soft top comes in five different colours and is engineered for top-tier thermal and acoustic insulation. Translation?

You can still enjoy your Spotify playlist or carry on a conversation without shouting, even when the top’s down.

In a city where luxury cars are a status symbol, the Maserati GranCabrio is sure to stand out in a sea of predictable choices. It’s the car for those who want to make an entrance, but also enjoy the journey.

Whether you’re cruising along the expressway or taking the scenic route to Sentosa, the GranCabrio makes every trip feel like a mini-vacation, complete with an Italian soundtrack courtesy of that glorious Nettuno engine.

Just don’t forget your sunglasses.

This Is The New Maserati GT2 Stradale https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=276902 Mon, 19 Aug 2024 15:44:35 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=276902 This is the big bad wolf variant of the MC20 – the new Maserati GT2 Stradale.


It was unveiled on August 17 at the Monterey Car Week in California. The Maserati GT2 is designed for the brand’s return to GT racing, and it looks spectacular.

With a higher than 320 km/h top speed, an increased output of 640hp, a 60kg weight reduction, and the ability to hit 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, this car is engineered to squeeze out performance from the MC20 it was derived from.

Maserati’s attention to detail shines through on the inside with a wide range of customization options, allowing owners to tweak the performance and aesthetics, and even indulge in Maserati’s exclusive Fuoriserie content to create a one-of-a-kind cabin.

“Maserati GT2 Stradale is a product that encapsulates our most cherished racing DNA while also evolving one of our most iconic models, the MC20,” says Maserati CEO Davide Grasso. “It’s designed for the discerning enthusiast who craves both technical excellence and everyday driving pleasure. This car brings our racing spirit to the streets.”

The GT2 Stradale wasn’t the only Maserati masterpiece on display at Monterey. The exclusive MC20 Icona, making its North American debut, and the track-only MCXtrema were also on the pedestal.

The MC20 Icona, a limited-edition homage to the legendary MC12, was in its Bianco Audace Matte and Blu Stradale livery. Meanwhile, the MCXtrema stole the show at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

If Maserati is going back to its roots for racing and beyond, you can be sure the next few years are going to be filled with exciting models.

The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello Is A Toast to Tignanello’s 50th Anniversary https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=275906 Thu, 04 Jul 2024 14:11:40 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=275906 Maserati has unveiled a bespoke version of the GranCabrio Folgore in honour of Tignanello’s 50th anniversary.


This unique vehicle, crafted exclusively for Marchesi Antinori, will be auctioned on July 14 at the Festival Napa Valley’s Arts for All Gala, one of the leading arts charity events in the US.

Marking its 110th anniversary, Maserati’s collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, an esteemed winery with over 600 years of history, embodies a celebration of Italian heritage. 

The design of the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello is deeply rooted in the essence of the vineyard.

The exterior boasts a custom Terra di Tignanello paint – a rich chestnut hue inspired by the vineyard’s soil, accented with a coppery burgundy reminiscent of Tignanello’s iconic barrels. 

The rims and callipers come in matte and gloss black, while copper emblems add a touch of elegance.

Inside, the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello is a tribute to the craftsmanship and heritage of both Maserati and Tignanello. The seats are upholstered in an innovative fabric derived from vineyards, combining tradition and modernity.

This multi-material weave, featuring silver and burgundy ribbing, mimics the rows of vines on the Tignanello hill.

Dark briar wood with laser etchings adorns the panels, echoing the oak barrels used in winemaking.

The headrests feature elegant embroidery that merges the Maserati Trident with the sun symbol from Tignanello’s label, celebrating both brands’ rich histories.

Klaus Busse, Maserati’s Head of Design, remarks, “This collaboration with Marchesi Antinori epitomizes the essence of bespoke production. Our Fuoriserie customization program is designed to create unique experiences for our customers, much like how a fine wine enhances a meal.”

Piero Antinori adds, “The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello, inspired by Tignanello, is a symbol of our shared values. This special model will be auctioned at the Arts for All Gala, with proceeds going to charity, a cause that makes us particularly proud.”

The GranCabrio Folgore is Maserati’s first 100% electric convertible in the luxury segment, and it’s the fastest on the market.

With an 800V battery system developed using Formula E technology, it delivers outstanding performance while maintaining Maserati’s signature comfort and style. The car features four true seats, a soft top, a neck warmer for cooler days, and a wind stopper to reduce turbulence.

Tignanello, the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques and one of the first contemporary red wines blended with Cabernet, represents a milestone in winemaking.

This wine embodies the Antinori family’s motto, “Te Duce Proficio” (“Following your guide I flourish”), crafted from Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes harvested from the Tignanello vineyard.
