Maserati presents the GranTurismo Folgore 110th Anniversarya limited edition of 110 829 HP electric examples to celebrate 110 years of the brand. The car, developed by the Fuoriserie department, will be available in two configurations: Rame Folgore and Blu Inchiostro, both with black and copper rims. This special series underlines Maserati’s commitment to innovation and electric mobility. The choice of a fully electric engine for a celebratory car demonstrates the brand’s futuristic vision.
The two variants also differ in the interior: the Rame Folgore version offers interiors in Econyl Denim with copper stitching, while the Blu Inchiostro adopts Econyl Black with blue stitching. A specific logo, which combines the Trident with the number 110, decorates the rear pillar and will also be present on the Tipo Folgore single-seater for Formula E. The official presentation is scheduled for on November 30th at the showroom in viale Ciro Menotti in Modena. The car will also be featured in the Tridente Experiencean exclusive two-day event dedicated to guests and customers of the prestigious Italian brand.
The choice to present a fully electric model for this anniversary is emblematic of the change taking place in the automotive world. The GranTurismo Folgore 110 Anniversario is not just a car, but a symbol of the transition towards sustainable mobilityan increasingly central topic for prestige car manufacturers.
The name “Folgore”, which in Italian means “lightning”, it recalls the power and speed of electricity, but also the history of the brand. In fact, the trident that characterizes the Maserati logo is inspired by the statue of Neptune in Bologna, the company’s hometown, which holds a trident. The use of Econyl, a sustainable material made from plastic waste recovered from the oceans, for the car’s interior is another sign of the company’s attention to environmental issues. This choice aligns with the growing ecological awareness in the luxury sector.
The decision to limit production to just 110 examples recalls a common practice in the world of luxury cars, where rarity increases the value and prestige of the vehicle. This strategy has deep roots in the history of high-end motoring, where manufacturers often created limited editions to commemorate anniversaries or special events.
The presentation in the Modena showroom is not accidental: the Emilian city is in fact deeply linked to the history of Italian motoring, being part of the so-called “Motor Valley”. Here, in addition to Maserati, other prestigious car and motorcycle manufacturers are based, forming a unique district in the world for the concentration of luxury and sports brands.
