Maserati Korea will support KPGA player Heo In-hwa (Geumgang Housing) with the 'GranTurismo Folgore' for one year.
The vehicle delivery ceremony was recently held at the temporary exhibition space of Maserati Korea in Pangyo, operated by the official Maserati dealer 'Stella Automobile.' Player Heo In-hwa will serve as an ambassador while using this car.
The 'GranTurismo Folgore' is Maserati's high-performance electric GT. It can accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds. The maximum output reaches an impressive 778 horsepower.
Heo In-hwa is a popular golfer who has secured a strong fan base with his solid skills and unique style on the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) tour.
Player Heo In-hwa said, "I am delighted to be together with the GranTurismo Folgore, which has a distinctive design recognizable as a Maserati and amazing performance, and I expect that long-distance driving due to competitions and training will be even more special."
Takayuki Kimura, the head of Maserati Korea, noted, "The GranTurismo Folgore is a model where luxury and high performance can be felt together, featuring a powerful heart within its elegant silhouette. The charisma and distinctive energy that player Heo In-hwa shows on the golf course harmonizes well with the unique Italian luxury sensibility of the GranTurismo Folgore, and I hope he embarks on a special journey with Maserati going forward."
The GranTurismo Folgore is Maserati's first pure electric GT, a high-performance electric vehicle born from the combination of the brand's representative GT model 'GranTurismo' and 'Folgore,' meaning 'lightning' in Italian, which represents Maserati's electric vehicle lineup.
Based on the technology of the electric car racing competition 'Formula E,' it features a total of three electric motors (one in the front and two in the rear), providing a top speed of 325 km/h and a maximum output of 778 horsepower, reaching 100 km/h from zero in just 2.7 seconds. Additionally, it is equipped with a 120Ah LG Energy Solution lithium-ion battery based on 800V technology, allowing it to travel up to 341 km on a single charge under combined standards.
