V8 is gone, replaced with electrified V6. Thoughts?

The “Folgore“ will be the electric version of all Maserati models. Grecale, GranTurismo,…
The base Grecale will have a four cylinder with 330HP and in its top version Trofeo he comes with the V6 out of the MC20 and 530HP.
At least according to this article (german):
Maserati Grecale - Nordostwind aus Italien
Nachdem sich der Levante bei Maserati zum Bestseller entwickelt hat, bringen die Italiener mit dem Grecale einen kleineren Bruder an den Start. Bei ihm setzt man auf jede Menge Noblesse und reichlich Kraft und zielt vornehmlich auf deutsche Wettbewerber.

I'm sure the horse and buggy guys said the same thing when the combustible engine was starting to take shape.
Why not a harmonious co-existence ?! Look, to this very day it works just fine :

Dan, what a horrible out of date image, it represents the start of climate destruction by travel! Horses are not co2 neutral, they will also be banned very soon. Unless they start guzzling pure hydrogen…Why not a harmonious co-existence ?! Look, to this very day it works just fine :

Guess you are not a steak lover............Well, if horse flatulence is as bad as cows flatulence, it most definitely does more green house environmental damage than even that truck in the photo .. time to turn them in for conversion to salami .
Back on topic, considering what is happening with our beloved gasoline, a vehicle as such may be the right powertrain at the right time for a change. Prettty sure my next long distance traveler will be EV. Lucid and Rivian definitely have my attention.
Wonder how quickly viewpoints will change when a new GTS pulls up next to you at a light and completely dusts you............but you sound better. They won't hear that cuz they'll be in front. Just sayin'
Closed eyes see little.
No idea about others, but I could not care any less about an electric Maserati dusting me at a stop light, or anywhere else. Speed without sound means ZERO to me . If it did, I’d buy a Tesla .

Biggest issue I have with Tesla is that fat lower lip look. Model S is reasonably good looking. The over sized tablet does not impress me. The others esp the Model X just don't remotely attract me. Now the Lucid Air is a Beautiful clean sheet deign IMO. And as a GT car meant to drive long distances, just as in my GTS, silence is golden. Its the only time I take 30 seconds, pull out the golf tee, and reconnect the exhaust valves. I want to see what Lucid gives us for a more usable vehicle in a few years. It is my intent to go EV for the long distance vehicle in the future as this is where I will see its benefits most profoundly.
BTW I rarely bother driving with the exhaust open on the Quad as in Dynamic mode, its just too much of a beast!!! Damn near killed me on cold fn PZeros last month............

Considering aesthetics are subjective, this is purely one man’s opinion ; I thought Tesla model S had attractive lines, but every model since then seems to get uglier and uglier . The same with most other makes and models of e-cars. I can’t understand why this is.. Fisker Karma was an exception. And of course the Porsche 918, which is a hybrid, a superb looking car, but at roughy $ 2 million now, it’s not for mere mortals … The rest are an eyesore. Until recently when Taycan appears to break the ugly mold and produce an e vehicle that doesn’t look like the rest ..
