CARS OF THE WORLD

Maserati GranTurismo 2022.

Pictures of electric coupe Maserati GranTurismo have appeared in the network.

Western publications have published photos of test prototype of the electric coupe Maserati GranTurismo.

Despite the camouflage you can see the charging port and fake air intakes.

Maserati plans to release an all-electric version of each of its models, including the GranTurismo. This will be the brand’s first all-electric model.

The automaker is currently working on the next-generation GranTurismo and GranCabriolet.

A new batch of «spy» photos gives us our first look at the all-electric two-door model, which has several notable changes compared to the gasoline-powered model we spotted.

The coupe doesn’t look much different in the new photos, but a closer look reveals typical electric car touches.

The air intakes in the front bumper are fake, and the car has no exhaust pipes in the back.

The biggest clues are the lack of a fuel tank hatch on the rear fenders and the location of the charging port — it’s located under the taillights next to the trunk. The wheels also look more aerodynamic.

Aside from these changes, the GranTurismo E doesn’t differ much from the gasoline-powered version of the model.

The new GT is not too different from its predecessor either, thanks to familiar styling elements and signature Maserati design touches.

The car looks like an evolution of what came before it, and that’s not bad.

However, the interior is where a major refresh needs to happen as Maserati packs technology and new screens.

The company hasn’t provided any details on the all-electric powertrain of its new model, and we probably won’t get more information until we get closer to the model’s debut.

It will be interesting to see how Maserati will fit an electric engine into a two-door car, as most automakers focus on developing all-electric crossovers, SUVs and crazy hypercars.

Range and weight will be key metrics to monitor.

The GranTurismo will offer multiple powertrains, with battery electric likely to be a tiny fraction of the model’s overall sales.

Rumors continue to circulate suggesting that Maserati will use a less powerful version of the 621-hp (456-kilowatt) Nettuno twin-turbocharged V6 engine from the MC20.
