All-Electric Maserati Alfieri Incoming, Will Do 0-60mph In Under Two Seconds
Maserati unleashed its gorgeous Alfieri concept over four years ago. After a long stream of will they/won’t they reports and rumours most of us ended up forgetting all about the car, but the Italian marque is now saying it will finally build a production.
But, it won’t be the conventional sports car that was originally expected: nope, Maserati is making an all-electric Tesla Roadster-beater, and it’ll be outrageously quick. As in 0-60mph in less than two seconds quick.
If you still want a little internal combustion going on, there will be plug-in hybrid version. There’ll also be a third powertrain option, although it isn’t clear how that will shape up.
The Alfieri EV will - along with electric versions of the next-gen Quattroporte saloon and Levante SUV - feature all-wheel drive, triple-motor electric powertrains with a torque vectoring function. All - including an Alfieri Cabriolet - will be here by 2022.
Speaking during Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ Capital Markets Day, Maserati chief Tim Kuniskis had the following to say:
“From a product standpoint, it may look as if Maserati is challenging Porsche and Tesla. We are. We’re going to accomplish this by bringing the market something no other player in the industry can match.”

Tesla Roadster be in trouble
How fast will it break or catch fire?
Probably not as fast as Tesla going into bankruptcy
I waited 5 years for this car to have a 500 hp V8 and now it’s electric?
They said there’ll be a third powertrain. Hopefully that has the fire breathing 4.7L V8
You gonna buy it?
I mean no one confirmed that they’d use their V8s before. And then again even if someone did Italian companies aren’t the most reliable for communication
Ah…electrification…always killing the good things,better get used to it.
Maserati and electric just sounds wrong together

At least they have learnt, when they created they introduced the Levante, they wanted to be the first to create a “posh SUV” when that had already been done. But this is looking promising.
Under 2 seconds seems kinda optimistic tbh. Love to see it happen tho
Alfiero! Someone do something with that im not quick enough!
Cool Fia- i mean Maserati
But isn’t Maserati with Alfa Romeo and abarth since 2010
but will it catch fire when the warranty runs out?
Yep.
Why?
Because Italy.
