One of the elements that really stood out in Maserati’s top models over the past few years are the Ferrari-built V8 engines, solidifying our position as a track-ready and top-of-the-line quality producer. The staff on duty at the Carbuzz blog took a look at a feature at what they thought we as a company would now focus on for engine options and reported that it appears as if the in-house Nettuno V6 is going to fulfill the duty. It is set to produce up to 620 horsepower and will debut in the new Maserati MC20 sportscar but, until then, the Ferrari will most likely see one final hurrah.
There have been tweets over the past few weeks from Maserati highlighting a new threesome of Trofeo line models that are set to premiere August 10th. That includes the Ghibli Trofeo, Quattroporte Trofeo, and Levante Trofeo. A limited-edition Levante Trofeo has already been released, powered by the 3.8-liter twin-turbo Ferrari-built V8 that cranked out 590 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque. Some recent spy shots have already portrayed the secret testing of a Levante Trofeo that has been rumored to have a larger 4.0-liter V8 producing even more power.
It is not yet known if the 4.0-liter engine is derived from the old 3.8-liter courtesy of Ferrari, or if it is an entirely new design. All of us standing by to give you premium sales and service assistance here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis are on the lookout for these new models that will enjoy a performance level just as high as the BMW M3 and M5. Named after a gentle wind that blows across the Mediterranean, the fierce new Levante Trofeo SUV will exert the same power, capable of the quick change from a calm breeze to a raging typhoon. Even with an earthshaking acceleration factor, no Maserati road car would trade their luxurious elements in turn for performance.
Beyond the engine, it could be expected that the Ghibli and Quattroporte models will receive more aggressive changes to the styling both inside and out, with carbon fiber as the primary material choice. The chassis is also expected to be thoroughly reworked, seeing the addition of the “Corsa” mode as a choice on the drive mode selector. This new mode offers up a more responsive throttle, faster gear shifts, a louder exhaust note, lower ride height, and a greater amount of stiffness of the suspension damping. We also enjoyed this clip found on Youtube that really hones in and gives the viewer a good idea of what to expect from one of these three exciting models arriving soon.
