Maserati’s lineup is a bit of a mess as the brand discontinued key models such as the Ghibli, Levante, and Quattroporte. This has left them with the overpriced Grecale and an assortment of sports cars.

That wasn’t supposed to be the case as Maserati was working on a new Quattroporte. However, development was reportedly halted in 2023. The model was then postponed, before Stellantis scrapped a huge investment in the firm, putting its future in further doubt.

Hope might not be lost as a new report suggests Maserati could raid the Alfa Romeo parts bin and cobble something together. In particular, the redesigned Giulia and Stelvio could serve as the basis for the next-generation Quattroporte and Levante.

Speaking with Autocar, Alfa Romeo and Maserati CEO Santo Ficili said they’re pushing for “synergies” between the two brands and this could make their vehicles more closely related. This suggests the upcoming Quattroporte and Levante could be based on the STLA Large platform, which also underpins an assortment of other models including the Dodge Charger and Jeep Wagoneer S.

While the next Quattroporte was originally slated to be electric-only, Maserati now appears to believe that would be a mistake. As Ficili explained, “We need to talk with our customers, because they are a bit confused at this time” with so many options including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles.

He went on to say going electric-only is a “question of timing,” but they’re not ready yet. As a result, he said “we need to consider MHEV and PHEV engines, depending on the development of the technology we want to follow.”

This could make the Giulia and Stelvio a prime base for future models as they’re slated to be offered with gas, plug-in hybrid, and electric options. The benefits wouldn’t end there as relying on Alfa Romeo and the STLA Large platform would speed development, while also cutting costs.

However, there are risks to this strategy as Alfa Romeo and Maserati models could become too similar. Alfa is no stranger to this as the Tonale is virtually identical to the Dodge Hornet.

That being said, Ficili acknowledged the need to keep Alfa Romeo and Maserati “separated.” However, he believes they can share a lot including “platforms, electronic architectures, software and probably powertrains.”

Not long ago, it looked like Maserati had quietly stepped away from the idea of an electric supercar. Reports suggested that the MC20 Folgore, originally expected to arrive this year, had been shelved. However, it turns out the project hasn’t been abandoned completely. Development has only been paused, not canceled, which means there’s still a chance the Folgore could see the light of day down the road.

The MC20 Folgore was originally announced in 2020 during the debut of the V6-powered supercar. Things are not quite the same in 2025, though, with the market’s appetite for electric high-end performance models having cooled down. The situation wasn’t helped by Stellantis writing off €1.5 billion worth of investment in Maserati, leading to several pre-launch project cancellations, likely including the electric supercar.

Supercar on Standby

When asked recently about the project, Maserati CEO Santo Ficili explained the company’s current stance. “I don’t think it’s the right time to take this kind of supercar in the electrification direction. Let’s say we will see,” he told Autocar . He clarified that the Folgore’s development is well underway but has been put on hold to monitor how the market evolves.

There’s still a chance it could resurface as a battery-powered version of the recently unveiled MCPura, which made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this month. For now, though,according to Ficili, everything hinges on whether there’s genuine demand for an electric supercar: “It’s crucial to have the customer ready to buy a car like this,” he noted.

With the development of the electric MC20 having reached an advanced stage, we can imagine it could hit the road if enough buyers with deep pockets reach out to Maserati and its specialized Fuoriserie division.

Still, Maserati’s CEO emphasized the fact that that the brand remains focused on the Nettuno powertrain: “We have this fantastic V6 engine that is to the satisfaction of our customers. We hold a different kind of power. This is our engine at this time.”

Ficili recently hinted at a new ICE-powered super-GT flagship with a manual gearbox developed in collaboration with Alfa Romeo. This model could be powered by an upgraded version of the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6, although Davide Danesin, Head of Maserati Engineering, recently suggested that the brand might bring back the V8 engine for special projects.

The reason, Danesin explained, is that some of their customers are still looking for “pure mechanical cars” as they have a “bad feeling” about having a large battery pack on a supercar due to the added complexity and the extra weight.

Tesla still commands a 40+ percent share of the US EV market, but demand is down 11 percent Jan-June, and it’s not only declining new car sales that are causing alarm. The brand also dominates a list of the used cars whose value is dropping hardest.

The Elon Musk-headed automaker bagged four spaces in the top 10 list of biggest losers collated by the data crunchers at iSeeCars, and a fourth Tesla also found its way onto the chart.

Including one other brand’s value-shedding model, EVs accounted for five of the 10 cars judged to have shed the biggest percentage of their value in 10 months. And that’s despite electric vehicles only accounting for 3.3 percent of the 1- to 5-year-old used market.

Tesla Tops the List of Falling Used Car Values

The study found the Model S suffered the biggest percentage price drop – though not the biggest dollar drop. The sedan’s average price in June 2025 was $46,700, which is 15.8 percent or $8,800 lower than it was 12 months earlier.

The Model X SUV actually lost more money – $9,500 – but due to its higher initial price, that drop only represented a 15.5 percent fall, putting it in second place. Third spot went to the Model Y, which fell $4,600 or 13.6 percent, probably in part due to the arrival of a facelifted version of the SUV this spring.

TOP 10 USED CAR PRICE DROPS

The Model 3’s value slid 9.4 percent, putting it in sixth spot, behind the fourth-place Ford Explorer hybrid (down 10 percent) and Jeep Gladiator (fifth place, down 9.6 percent). And Porsche’s Taycan lost 7 percent of its value, earning it eighth place, meaning all five of the EVs on the list lost far more than the average EV, whose value fell by 4.8 percent.

Sandwiched between the Model 3 and the Taycan is the Maserati Levante (seventh place, down 7.9 percent), and the top 10 is rounded out by the Chrysler Voyager (ninth, down 6.6 percent) and Lincoln Aviator (tenth, down 5.9 percent).

Used EV Values Lag Behind the Market

All five EVs on the list fell significantly more than the average for used electric vehicles, which dropped just 4.8 percent. By contrast, used internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles actually gained in value slightly, up 5.2 percent on average over the same 12-month period.

The study appears to show that American consumers are less interested in EVs as used cars, and that sentiment is likely to carry over into future years as this September’s scrapping of EV tax credits begins to take effect and the ripples are felt in the used market.
