Italians’ devotion to the past finds its place in the cornerstones of Grecale’s design, which can be remembered by enthusiasts.

Looking at the front of the vehicle, the components in the Levante come to mind. On the cockpit side, we are greeted by a 12.3-inch multimedia screen and digital driver panel. In addition, Maserati, which plans the air conditioning controls on an 8.8 inch control panel, comes up with a remarkable choice at this point. The fully electric version of Grecale, which will hit the road with its first examples this year, will be put on the market in 2023. At this stage, a few details about this version are on the table. Grecale Folgore, which has been announced to use a 105 kWh battery pack, will have a power approaching 550 horsepower and a torque of 800 Nm in the peak version.
