>Every new Maserati will use some form of electric propulsion from 2019, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO Sergio Marchionne has revealed.
>During a conference call with investors, the boss of Maserati’s parent company said the brand would now spearhead the wider group’s push to electric, which will see more than half of FCA's range use some form of electric power by 2022.
>FCA's brands, which also include Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler and Dodge, will all benefit from the new electric plan. Marchionne said Maserati will switch almost all of its investment in power trains to electric after “it completes the development of its next two models”.
>The first new electrified Maserati is predicted to arrive in 2020 and will be based on the Alfieri concept that made its debut at the Geneva motor show in 2014. The all-electric model is a two-seater sports car that will use a new platform.
>Before then, Maserati will hybridise several of its current models, with the Levante SUV model most likely to introduce a plug-in hybrid drivetrain to the range. As Maserati Europe boss Giulio Pastore told Autocar last year: “The current platform allows for hybrid. We are working on it for 2019, when we will be ready to offer hybridisation."
>Marchionne said that FCA has been hesitant to invest in electric until now due to uncertainty, stating: “We [FCA] have been reluctant to embrace that avenue until we saw clearer the path forward."
>Despite being part of its planning process, Marchionne will not head FCA during this push to electric. The 65-year-old Italian-Canadian announced that he will retire at the end of 2019.
Maserati will be fucked up. :^)

>>
>>17642553

silent
smooth
perfect for a luxury car like a Maserati
and yeah talk about irrelevant stuff
youre not driving more than 200 miles on a normal day and 8 hours is sleep time not like youre fully draining it anyway
we get it you dont have any real reasons to not like it other than parroting miniscule problems and the fact that its not tryhard luddite tech
>>
>>17642566
Have you heard a Maserati?
They sound godly. The last thing I want from a Maserati is to sound like a food processor.
>>
>>17642571
doesnt matter when you have sound emulation
Audi did it years ago

????
>>
>>17642586
fake sound is so soulless and empty

>>17642582
>>17642586
Oh, god. Why did I even respond. You probably prefer watching porn to having sex.
>>
>>17642566
The best things Maserati ever had going for them was their sound and looks. For that kind of beauty I can overlook the sluggish performance, I can overlook the shit build quality, I can overlook the horrid unreliability, but now they're going to lose one of their greatest assets, the sound, and that I cannot overlook.
>>
>>17642589
>>17642591
just as soulless and empty as real sound then
not that those things matter since its a damn car and it doesnt have soul or substance
>>17642601
or they just replicate it digitally
>>
kek
We're witnessing the downfall of Maserati, they're shit cars that have survived on styling and sound, now they're going to have crap sound. This is funny.

>>17642608
>not that those things matter since its a damn car and it doesn't have soul or substance
why are you on an auto enthusiast board if you obviously don't enjoy cars?
>>
>>17642608
You are probably never going to a live music concert because it's the same as spotify.
>>
>>17642612
I enjoy cars but Im not acting like theyre something special
im just a progressive car enthusiast
>>17642614
I go to 2 or 3 concerts a month
drum machines can sound just as good as the real thing
synthetic engine note can sound just as good as the real thing
>>
>>17642626
proof that progressives ruin everything they touch
>>
>>17642628
yeah we should all go back to ye olde days and act like animals
might as well replace direct injection with 1bbl carbs and ohc with T heads
progressivism is a must
especially now that many governments are becoming woke and restricting ICE cars in the future
>>
>>17642634
ok lets celebrate the death of the enthusiast market
>>
>>17642626
>im just a progressive car enthusiast
Aaaaaand filtered
>>
>>17642639
nope
there are already plenty of EV enthusiasts and theyve been converting cars forever
people are already modding Teslas and shit
theyre just evolving
>>17642640
yeehaww billy bob muh 350 small block is the epitome of mawdin
wat you mean a 2.4L honda makes more power all motor?
luddites have no place in the car world
>>
>>17642648
There's nothing you can really mod or change on an electric car.
>>
>>17642672
theres plenty of ways to increase the power and you can always lose weight
takes a bit more knowhow than a 750 double pumper and a 3/4 race cam
>>
>>17642684
no, you need to upgrade the motors or change the batteries
that's literally it
>>
>>17642700
you can do all kinds of shit to the stock motors
the bottleneck is keeping them cool
>>
>>17642713
give me an example of what you can do

all you need is more juice
fuck off with systems you dont need
modifying the hardware for more electrics like the connectors
and I guess software tuning
this shit has 778 hp
the Tesla motors arent being pushed at their current level
>>
>>17642489
I wonder what will happen once every automaker is producing semi-autonomous electric vehicles, and the novelty has worn off. Brands like Maserati will probably be the first to go.

Yuropoor nations are about to roll out serious corporate welfare to prepare for banning sale of gasoline cars in 10 to 20 years. You would be stupid to not be the first piggy to the feed.
