Two days after the beginning of spring we will therefore discover all the details on this new work of art signed by Maserati, which in the meantime has already anticipated some of its important features thanks to the writings on the “camouflage” paint of its body. The Grecale glimpsed in Modena, in fact, shows for example the phrases ” My Maserati Intelligent Assistant can be controlled by ” and ” My cockpit flaunts more than … in display surfaces “, demonstrating that its cockpit will be completely digital and its infotainment will be controllable by voice commands.

In the future, a version with a 100% electric powertrain and a 90 kWh battery pack is also planned , which will become part of the Folgore family by right.
