The Maserati Folgore will be the trident brand's future luxury cars. But did you know that they will also have a detail that sets them apart from the range's combustion models? These are the side vents, which are illuminated on Folgore models.
Side air vents are an aesthetic and functional feature of all cars Maserati for decades. They evacuate hot air from the engine compartment and improve the vehicle's aerodynamics.
On the Folgore, they have been redesigned to adapt to electric technology, which does not need to cool the combustion engine.
For example, the Folgore's side air vents are slimmer and more streamlined than those of combustion engine versions. They are also illuminated by LEDs. According to Maserati, this illumination was inspired by lightning, which means "lightning bolt" in Italian. This is also the meaning of the word "Folgore", which refers to Maserati's power line.
The luminous side air vents are a symbol of the innovation of the Maserati Folgore, which promises respectable performance thanks to its electric motors developing over 557 hp for the Grecale and 761 hp for the Granturismo.
They are also a nod to the history of the Maserati logo, Neptune's trident, which is struck by lightning...
The first Maserati Granturismo Folgore models are due to arrive in showrooms in the next few weeks...
