Italy’s electric grand tourer
The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore is the all-electric version of one of the most elegant GTs on sale. “Folgore” means lightning, and the car lives up to it: a tri-motor electric drivetrain, serious performance, and the long, sensuous proportions Maserati does so well. It proves that an electric grand tourer can be every bit as romantic as a combustion one.
It carries a storied trident badge and decades of grand touring heritage — the GranTurismo name alone signals taste and distance.
Ireland’s answer
The Éire Eden GT enters the same rarefied space from a new direction. It is an all-electric 2+2 grand tourer too, but drawn from Irish landscape, material and craft rather than Italian. Its design language, its colours — deep emerald, bronze, Aran white — and its restrained, software-first cabin are all its own.
Like the Folgore, the Eden GT targets effortless distance: 300+ miles of range, all-wheel-drive traction and a serene, near-silent cabin. The difference is exclusivity — and origin.
Heritage vs first chapter
Maserati offers more than a century of motoring romance, and the GranTurismo is a direct heir to it. That lineage is real and cannot be replicated.
Éire offers the appeal of a beginning. As a brand-new marque limited to 50 cars, the Eden GT lets an owner be present at the very start of an Irish luxury car story — something even Maserati can no longer offer.
The verdict
Choose the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore for Italian artistry, a celebrated badge and a car you can configure today. It is a genuinely beautiful thing.
Follow the Éire Eden GT if you want the rarer, newer story — an electric grand tourer of Irish character, hand-finished, limited to 50 examples, and built around modern software. It is currently in development.
