Think is can they remember as they seem to be making it up on the go. Shambolic management of a wonderful brand.I seem to remember the talk at the time (of the slides coming out last June) was the Giulia Quad V6 twin turbo with electric boost. In that case it would be 600BHP at least. The Alfa unit now puts out 510..!
Didn't they say PEHV ..?IIRC the Giulia V6 was only mentioned by gossip-mongers not by Maserati. They have said that there will be hybrid and full-electric models but haven't given any more detail than that.

Pretty much but as I understand it the pe bit is plug in which means it'll run on full electric for a short distance. (As oppose to a Prius which doesn't)Isn't a hybrid and a PEHV the same thing?
My Hybrid Rangie charges the battery while braking, then uses the electric motors to boost the power when needed. But the PEHV version is charged by being plugged into the mains, and the car can run for maybe 30 miles on electricity alone (as compared to mine that would only do 1 mile, at best, on just electricity). So in short, PEHV means you plug it in.
Isn't it just a 2 seater?Will it have V8 noises pipe through the speakers?
Packaged right, a four seater Coupe could be the same size as a 4200 but with a much larger boot with no fuel tank in between boot and rear seats. All the batteries would be underneath/engine bay and motors on each corner. Much like that biturbo converted on Wheeler dealers.
Correct the Alfieri concept car was designed to be a two seater but I'm saying that a 4-seater coupe could be designed with the same cabin dimensions as the 3200/4200 and still have a decent boot with the deletion of the fuel tank. The batteries could be located under the rear boot floor, where the 4200's transmission is and in the engine space, there's a huge amount of space there. The electric motors driving all four wheels are very small and can fit to the underside next to each wheel.Isn't it just a 2 seater?
I'm picking mine up from a service tomorrow, I will have a word with sales, see if they have any insider information...

If you use the layers and spin and turn you can see two rear seats as in the California etc. not big but useful for the dog
