Maserati Becomes The Latest To Make The Move To An All Electric Lineup

Volvo isn’t the first nor will it be the last. According to Auto Express, Maserati will be the next automaker planning an electric future, effectively ditching internal combustion as the sole powertrain in its lineup. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently told investors about his all-electric future vision for Maserati. Specifically, he explained that electrification is "an integral part of the development of the FCA group," but that FCA has "been reluctant to embrace that avenue until we saw clearer the path forward." That path is now evidently clear.

Yet another inaccurate headline given this contradicting statement: "Maserati will be the next automaker planning an electric future, effectively ditching internal combustion as the sole powertrain in its lineup."

Maserati is going to add something electric as a bandaid to keep selling their Chrysler LX models. That's the likely scenario.

Would anyone be confident in the liability of an electric Maserati?

That was supposed to say reliability.

I'm 100% confident in their liability and 0% in their reliability.

Is Maserati even a relevant auto manufacturer? When someone mentions them, I think "are they still around?"

Yes the are still around. They build three lovely versions of the Chrysler 300, you know the outdated car that was based on an outdated platform when it was introduced.

I think that photo is of the Alfieri concept. Looks like it could be platform that could easily be used to resurrect the Viper. But this time with a DCT or 10 speed auto transmission as an option. It should have much higher sales than it does. Ralph G. should have known better.

Ferraris are actually more reliable than Maseratis now, go figure...
