All this fuss about Ferrari’s first EV coming in 2026, and we forgot you can already have something pure-electric, supercar-fast and vaguely practical with a storied Italian badge on the grill. Yes, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is a bit of a curiosity, just sliding into production before Maserati brought down the guillotine on the MC20…

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You get home after a few drinks, start browsing eBay classifieds, and begin convincing yourself that the £10k ‘bargain’ you absolutely don’t need somehow makes perfect financial sense.

Does anyone do overpowered practicality like the Germans?
