Another
premiere of the Geneva Show are the new interiors in Pelletessuta, an exclusive
new material made by Ermenegildo Zegna exclusively for Maserati. To recall the
brand’s sporty DNA, Maserati will exhibit a GranTurismo MC (acronym for
Maserati Corse), for the first time with an exterior in Grigio Lava Matte
colour combined with interiors in carbon fibre. Maserati announced start of
sales in Europe of the Levante Trofeo and Levante GTS.
Another
new development will be revealed at the opening of the show, one that
exemplifies Maserati’s ability to construct customised automobiles: an exciting
one-off model, created according to the
requests of a particular customer.
LEVANTE TROFEO LAUNCH EDITION - A LIMITED
EDITION
To
launch the new model in the market, Maserati is presenting the Levante Trofeo
Launch Edition, a limited edition of 100 units. The Levante Trofeo Launch
Edition will be available not only in the Blu Emozione Matte colour presented
at the Geneva International Motor Show but also in the unique paints Giallo
Modenese and Rosso Magma. The interior features sports seats with a premium
full-grain "Pieno Fiore” natural leather, with contrasting stitching and a
"Trofeo" logo embroidered on the headrest, available in blue, red or
yellow. The exclusive carbon fibre inserts on the bumpers, side skirts and
specially designed bonnet stand out.
The
22" Orione rims can be matte or glossy black finish, while the brake
calipers are available in silver, blue, yellow or red.
The
Levante Trofeo is equipped with one of the most powerful engines ever fitted in
a Maserati road car. This is the 3.8 litre Twin Turbo V8, calibrated to mate
perfectly with the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, providing it with a
new crankcase design, specific crankshaft assembly, new oil pump and auxiliary
belt and a different wiring layout.
Like
all Maserati petrol engines, this V8 is assembled by Ferrari in Maranello. In
terms of 0-100km/h acceleration, it stops the chronometer at 4.1”, while the
maximum speed is close to the 300 km/h threshold.
