Electric vehicles may be mainstream today, but they are still polarizing for many, particularly “petrol heads” who love the internal combustion engine. As per Ford CEO Jim Farley in a recent post on social media, however, even “car guys” such as himself could fall in love with electric cars. They just have to give EVs a chance.

The name for this mission: Verne.

Buongiorno! Scooter here, back with another first-drive review with Maserati. This time, I flew north of Milan, Italy, to Lake Maggiore, where I took in tons of beautiful vistas while testing out Maserati’s first all-electric convertible, the GranCabrio Folgore.

Hatchbacks are popular because they combine the practicality of SUVs and the sportiness of a car; they provide the best of both worlds, a point illustrated by these offerings. Yet, despite being such engaging cars to drive, they rarely feature rear-wheel drive, the quintessential mode of propulsion among sports cars. RWD is preferred in sports cars because it, among others, facilitates balanced handling and enhances traction during acceleration.
