Maserati-Trofeo_collection

The Maserati Levante Trofeo is now joined by Quattroporte and Ghibli Trofeos, forming a Trofeo collection. The Trofeo variants will be the range-topping ones with visual upgrades and a 3.8-litre V8 twin-turbo under the hood.

Speaking of which, the Ferrari-built 3,799 cc petrol motor pumps out 580 hp at 6,250 rpm and 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) of torque between 2.500-5,000 rpm in all 3 models. However, that 580 hp in the Levante Trofeo is for Europe, North America, Korea, China, Japan and Indian markets, while other markets get 590 hp, for reasons beyond our understanding. Perhaps, it has to do with emission compliance or the available fuel quality.

The 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint times for Levante Trofeo, Ghibli Trofeo and Quattroporte Trofeo are claimed to be 4.1 seconds, 4.3 seconds and 4.5 seconds, respectively. Again, that 4.1 seconds in the Levante Trofeo is for Europe, North America, Korea, China, Japan and Indian markets, while the time for other markets is claimed to be 3.9 seconds. The top speeds are 302 km/h (188 mph), 326 km/h (202 mph) and 326 km/h (202 mph), respectively. The 590 hp tune can do 304 km/h (189 mph).

Transmission is a ZF 8-speed automatic. In the Levante Trofeo, power is sent to all four wheels via Q4 Intelligent AWD system, while the Ghibli Trofeo and Quattroporte Trofeo models are RWDs.

The Levante Trofeo gets adjustable Air Springs.

As with the Levante Trofeo, the Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo also get the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system with a specific setup that promises enhanced driving dynamics. The sedans get a Corsa mode for an even sportier driving experience, while there’s also a Launch Control function for more thrilling experience.

In terms of the visual upgrades, the Trofeo models feature red accents and some carbon fibre bits; the latter is always a great thing to have. Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo ride on 21-inch aluminium Orione wheels. The Levante Trofeo is offered with the optional 22-inch Orione wheels.
