Let’s see what they actually bring first

They have zero history in EV’s
Competition combined with jubilance is welcome even more so.

Electric cars aren't manufactured to be unique. Like most modern cars, they are built on a specific platform, just like BMW's Neue Klass.

Stellantis is no exception since it's the parent company of Maserati.

STLA Medium platform will be used in Grecale Folgore.

https://www.stellantis.com/en/news/p...er-innovations

Grecale Folgore initial specifications:

550hp and 850Nm of torque
0-60mph in 4.1 seconds
Up to 310 miles of range
"Owners will be able to take their battery from 20% to 80% charge in 27 minutes, a rate of 2.4 kWh per minute." - from STLA Medium announcement.

As a side note, I drove Gracale Trofeo with 523 HP as soon as SoCal dealer in my area had one to test drive. If the lease terms were attractive, I would lease one to enjoy the ICE drivetrain before we all have to drive EVs.
