There will be no actual new models at Maserati’s
Geneva Motor Show stand this year. Instead, their headline act will
be the Levante Trofeo V8 Launch Edition. Available as a limited edition of
100 units, the Launch Edition marks the debut of the range-topping Levante
Trofeo. The vehicle that will go on display in Geneva features a Blu Emozione
Matte color, although customers will be able to get it in Giallo Modenese and
Rosso Magma paints as well.
The exterior stands out thanks to exclusive carbon
fiber inserts on the bumpers and side skirts, as well as the specially designed
bonnet. The Levante Trofeo Launch Edition rides on 22-inch Orione rims
available in a matte or glossy black finish. The brake calipers can be had in
silver, blue, yellow or red.
Inside, the Levante Trofeo Launch Edition offers
sports seats upholstered in premium full-grain “Pieno Fiore” natural leather,
with contrasting stitching and a “Trofeo” logo embroidered on the headrest
matching the exterior color.
Performance-wise, the Levante Trofeo features a
Ferrari-built 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 gasoline engine that makes 590 PS and 730 Nm of torque. Hooked to an eight-speed ZF automatic
transmission and the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, the engine enables
the performance SUV to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and reach
a top speed of almost 300 km/h.
Aside from the Levante Trofeo Launch Edition,
Maserati’s Geneva stand will also include a Levante S Q4 GranSport and
Quattroporte S Q4 GranLusso, featuring interiors in “Pelletessuta,” a special
woven nappa leather made by Ermenegildo Zegna exclusively for Maserati. A
Maserati GranTurismo MC will also be on display, with a Grigio Lava Matte exterior
and a carbon fiber interior.
Finally, the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer
will also unveil “an exciting one-off model” commissioned by one of its
customers.
