This car is getting great reviews. Will it take Taycan market share?

It is kind of in between a 911 and a Taycan?

I don't mind the look of it but I wouldn't see it as between the 911 and Taycan. It is what it is, a Maserati tourer; instantly recognisable and rather nice on the eye.

For me, one of the main appeals about the Taycan is its striking looks. It turns heads and has that new, futuristic wow factor. The Maserati reminds me of taking a tried and tested formula of an ICE model and just electrifying it.

As an example, this GranTurismo Folgore could almost have been produced by these guys:

Electric Classic Cars

In answer to your question, it might take some 'on the fence' buyers away from Stuttgart's offering but not many in my opinion.

I expect it would attract some buyers, most definitely.

wonder how good Maserati is with software these days - are they better than Porsche, because if they are that would get me in one for a test drive..

Maserati tech makes the Taycan look solid.
these cars have the worst reputation for running cost and break down all the time.

It’s certainly a head turner, but the price? Looks like it will start well above the price for a Turbo S at £180000 (200000 Euros) without the options, which is Ferrari territory. More rarified market, only 2 doors, and in that sense aimed at different people.

The new Maserati, i read that it's handling is shit. Too heavy. Never heard such comments with Taycan. If i am choosing again. I would still choose the cross turismo.

If it was in the same price range it'll be a contender. Not at £200k+ unless you want to part with that sort of cash. But let's be honest, if you want a Maserati at that price, you'll buy an MC20.

2 doors electric, I want a 911….

 

[Archimedes]

Yes, because Maseratis are affordable, reliable, and have a large, loyal customer base…

83kW battery with about 170 real world mile range with a starting price of $250K est....nuff said

I would say that the Taycan is in the catbird seat. Maserati doesn't exactly have the greatest reputation either.

Why do write that way. Don’t bring this click bait style engagement here.

 

[Redhot2474]

Eh

 

[Cooler]

You have to very weathly to buy italian ev, because italians and electricity dont mix well.

Any friends I know that had a Maserati, HAD a Maserati. Their lack of reliability and the huge loss in value are notorious. I don't think you would ever cross shop a Porsche and a Maserati.

Ice age car. Only 100% electric can be compared. Otherwise I will post a picture of my neighbour's hybrid Honda civic.
