Maserati has released new details about the Grecale PrimaSerie, ahead of its launch in North America this fall. The special edition will be available in two different versions and the range-topping variant is based on the Grecale Trofeo, which features a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 that develops 523 hp and 619 Nm of torque. It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system with a limited-slip rear differential. This setup enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 3.6 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 285 km/h.
Besides the impressive powertrain, the
Grecale Trofeo PrimaSerie will have an eye-catching Giallo Corse paint job. The
model also rides on 21-inch Crio wheels that are backed up by a
high-performance braking system, which features red Brembo calipers at all four
corners. Moving into the cabin, buyers will find black leather seats with
yellow contrast stitching and embroidered headrests. Other highlights include
3D carbon trim, brushed stainless steel pedals, and the Premium Plus Package.
The latter adds a heated steering wheel, heated / ventilated front seats,
heated rear seats, and a 21-speaker Sonus faber audio system. The model also
comes equipped with a head-up display, a wireless smartphone charger, rear
cargo rails, and a cargo area power outlet.
Customers with more modest budgets can opt
for the Grecale Modena PrimaSerie, which features a turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology. It produces 325 hp and 450 Nm of torque, which is enough to allow for a 0-96 km/h time of 5.0 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. The
entry-level special edition offers more choice as customers can choose from
Bianco Astro (white) metallic, Blu Nobile (blue) tri-coat, and Grigio Cangiante
(silver) tri-coat exteriors. They’re joined by 21-inch Pegaso wheels, which are
backed up by red or blue brake calipers.
Inside, buyers will find black, white or
red leather front sport seats with heating and ventilation as well as contrast
stitching and embroidered headrests. Other niceties include piano black trim,
heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 21-speaker Sonus faber audio
system. They’re joined by brushed stainless steel pedals, a hands-free power
liftgate, and a tri-zone climate control system. The special edition also
boasts a head-up display and wireless smartphone charger.
Only 325 Grecale PrimaSerie special
editions will be offered in North America and potential customers are being
told to contact their local dealership about availability.
