The Maserati Grecale Folgore represents a definitive shift in Modena's road car strategy: a production SUV measuring 4,865 mm in overall length, powered entirely by electricity and built in Italy. BBR Models has translated it into a 1:18 resin model finished in Grigio Lava, one of the official colours listed in the Grecale configurator. The result is a shelf-ready document of a pivotal moment in Maserati's history.
A Production SUV Rewritten From the Ground Up
Launched as part of the first-generation Grecale line (2022–present), the Folgore variant dispenses entirely with combustion. Its electric drivetrain produces 410 kW and 820 Nm of torque from a 105 kWh battery on a 400V architecture, accelerating the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 220 km/h. At 4,865 mm long, the Grecale occupies the mid-size SUV segment — larger than a compact crossover, proportioned for daily use without surrendering the Maserati stance.
Maserati's First Fully Electric SUV
The Grecale Folgore carries a specific significance within Maserati's catalogue: it is the marque's first fully electric SUV. The Folgore name — Italian for lightning — denotes Maserati's entire electrification programme, and the Grecale is its most accessible expression to date. Finished here in Grigio Lava, a sober metallic grey that sits cleanly against the Grecale's sculpted flanks, the car reads as a production-spec road car rather than a concept or show piece — which is exactly what it is.
BBR Models in Resin at 1:18
BBR Models is an Italian specialist manufacturer with a long record of high-detail 1:18 and 1:43 resin replicas, particularly within the Maserati and Ferrari segments. The Grecale Folgore is rendered in resin — a material that allows sharper panel lines and more faithful paint reproduction than diecast at this scale. The Grigio Lava livery is carried directly from the factory colour palette. A display showcase is included with the model, allowing dust-free presentation from the moment it is unboxed.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:18, the Grecale Folgore demands a meaningful shelf footprint — plan for a cabinet depth suitable for a contemporary SUV silhouette rather than a compact saloon. The included showcase resolves the dust question immediately, making it suitable for open shelving. Within a Maserati collection, it pairs naturally with the GranTurismo Folgore or the Levante in the same scale. For collectors focused on BBR Models' road car output, it sits alongside the MC20 and other recent Italian resin releases.
