Maserati expands its Trofeo collection, includes Ghibli and Quattroporte

KUALA LUMPUR: Maserati has expanded its Trofeo collection. In addition to Levante SUV,  the collection now includes Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo sedans. Together, the three cars help Maserati reach the pinnacle of luxury, performance, and sportiness.

Keeping its Italian identity alive, Maserati has launched its Trofeo collection in the colour of its home country’s flag. The Quattroporte is painted green, Levante white, and Ghibli red. Enhancing their beauty further is the glossy red trim and burnished chrome-work that give the cars an aggressive yet elegant look.

The Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans benefit from a new V8 mill. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 unit makes 580 hp at 6,250 rpm and 730 Nm. The same mill also rests under the hood of the Levante SUV, and it is said to be manufactured at Ferrari plant to Maserati’s specifications. Also, the engine is in full compliance with the emission and fuel efficiency standards.

With a top speed of 326 kmph, the Ghibli and Quattroporte claim to be the fastest Maserati sedans ever. Levante Trofeo, on the other hand, displays a top-speed of 302 kmph.
