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.”
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
Comments
The electrification of the FCA product line has begun. Once again, Chrysler finds itself playing catch-up with the rest of the industry.
This whole comment section is toxic honestly. Smells like Petrolhead butthurt, close mindedness and ignorance and I cant deal.
Why are you here then ?
Ironic, you’re exactly that
CT is basiclly full of the car community equivilant of cavemen.
As long as that gorgeous body gets into production…
One thing is sure,it won’t go from 60 to bankruptcy under two seconds as the Roadster
Looks like a Mustang
My friend is named Alfie and for him this will be good news!
Good news for my friend Alfie!
Still don’t want it.
