The Maserati Quattroporte is remodeled.

Development of the next-generation Maserati Quattroporte, which will be powered solely by batteries, has been delayed.

Automotive News (subscription required) reported on Wednesday that a company spokesperson said that development of the redesigned Quattroporte has been suspended to eliminate risks related to the "performance level of the new car."

The new Quattroporte was originally scheduled to be introduced in 2024. The current generation was already out of production at the end of last year. However, Maserati CEO Davide Grasso said in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica published last month that the debut would be in early 2025. It is not certain whether the latest development pause will push that date back further.

The Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported in December that Maserati's parent company, Sterantis, is considering cutting costs and is seeking price reductions, including from suppliers associated with the new Quattroporte.

Deliveries of the GranTurismo Folgore, the electric version of Maserati's newest grand tourer, have just begun, and will be followed in the second quarter of this year by the start of deliveries of the Grecarre Folgore, the electric version of Maserati's compact crossover.

An electric version of the MC20 supercar and an electric option for the GranTurismo convertible will also be available.

The arrival of the new Quattroporte marks Maserati's shift toward launching only EVs. The new Quattroporte will be followed by a redesigned Levante, which boasts electric power. The Ghibli, which ended production last year, will not be revamped.

Maserati is continuing to revamp its lineup, and eventually none of its cars will have gas engines. According to Maserati, that will happen by 2030.
