7th Generation Maserati Quattroporte: The Luxurious Electric Future

The seventh generation Quattroporte, which will be assembled at parent company Stellantis's Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy, is expected to be a tinier but more luxurious, battery-powered replacement for both the current V8 Maserati Quattroporte and its sibling, Maserati Ghibli.

Its launch was scheduled for the beginning of 2025, but the company stated that the production plans were put on hold. 

Maserati decided to prolong the plot due to the need to take zero risks on the performance level of the new car, a spokesperson told Automotive News Europe, hinting that it requires more development work before leaving the curtains.

It is obvious that supplier pricing negotiations are one of the reasons for this. Reports are suggesting that Stellantis wants to reduce the price by approximately 6%. The new Quattroporte is not to be expected earlier than in the second part of 2025. 

This is the latest touch of the Italians' electric program. Previously, the construction program for the Folgore electric versions of its Maserati Grecale and Maserati Granturismo - although each delivery is scheduled to start in the next few months. Until 2030, Maserati aims to completely electrify its lineup, but no new series-production combustion models are left to launch before then. 

The next generation Maserati Quattroporte Folgore will be the company’s third electric car.
It will be the brand's first-ever model to be offered without a combustion option and will play a key role in forming the brand's future as it presses to ditch combustion power by 2030. 

Grasso stopped right before naming any key rival, but suggested that the new EV limo will steal the spotlight owing to its Italian air and its overt luxury appeal, the crucial basis in cementing the brand's credentials as a bona fide luxury brand and helping it to defend the healthy profit margins it accomplished in 2022. 

All clues lead us to our final deduction: the EV Quattroporte is the sibling of the upcoming Alfa Romeo Giulia, which is expected to be based on the recently unveiled STLA Large platform and share its potential peak 1000 hp powertrain in a fearsome Trofeo variant.

This platform can manage to house batteries large enough to rock 500 miles, as well as high-performance motors with the ambition to make it Maserati's quickest car yet.
