Maserati GranTurismo E: Hunted on Test Drive

Maserati will launch the GranTurismo E at the end of 2022. It will be the manufacturer’s first model with an electrified drive. We have information and pictures for you.

Maserati is late on the electric trend. The new GranTurismo is set to change that. The sports sedan is to be launched as an electric model. Now, for the first time, Erlkönig has been sighted during test drives.

  • Market launch planned for late 2022
  • The first model with electric drive
  • Design similar to the previous model
  • Electrified coupe and convertible version

When Maserati launches the two versions of the GranTurismo E later this year, the manufacturer will be the first to offer reasonably affordable electric coupes and convertibles. 

The electric Gran Turismo has now been photographed on test drives in deep snow. As far as the design is concerned, you can tell that it is a Maserati despite a lot of camouflage foil. Overall, you can see several times that the photographed model is the electrified version of the Gran Turismo. There are fake air intakes on the front bumpers and the usual four tailpipes are missing.

We can’t find a fuel filler cap anywhere either, but there is a flap on the left side of the rear license plate that probably hides the charging socket. We also think we can see that the wheels are a bit more aerodynamic than on nitro versions.

For the first time, the new Gran Turismo will have an electric drive, but there will still be petrol engines and hybrid drives. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the more precise specifications at the moment.

Maserati GranTurismo E Price

An exact date for the market launch is not yet known, but the convertible is to be presented at the end of 2022, and the coupé version a little earlier. Prices have also not yet been communicated, but the electric Maserati will certainly not be cheap. The previous version cost at least 127,000 euros – and was not electric.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
