Immediately recognisable anywhere, the Maserati range of cars has produced amazing personalities. Their style, technology and character enchant demanding tastes. Ambassadors of this heritage are the Quattroporte flagship, the Ghibli sports sedan, and the Levante, Maserati’s very first SUV; with respective petrol and diesel engines, rear and all-wheel drive, the finest materials and outstanding engineering. Maserati has written a new chapter in its history by expanding its Trofeo collection. Following the 2018 launch of Levante Trofeo, the SUV’s most extreme, most powerful version, the new Quattroporte and Ghibli Trofeo are now available.
The complete Maserati Trofeo range, including the Quattroporte, Ghibli and Levante.
And to highlight Maserati’s all-Italian identity, the colours chosen for the Trofeo collection launch are those of the country’s flag: green for Quattroporte, white for Levante and red for Ghibli.

The heart of Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo is the 3.8 l V8 Twin Turbo with power output of 433kW (580 hp) at 6,250rpm and peak torque of 730Nm. The engine, which has already revealed its power on the Levante Trofeo, is built at the Ferrari plant at Maranello to Maserati’s specifications, and has been modified and developed to deliver equally impressive performances on the rear-engine sedans.

Although completely new for Ghibli, the V8 engine has already been used in the past on Quattroporte GTS, in the 395kW (530hp) version. And today the 433kW hp V8 engine is available on the new Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante* Trofeo, in full compliance with fuel efficiency and emissions standards. Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo can proudly claim to be the fastest Maserati sedans ever built, with a top speed of 326 km/h. Levante Trofeo’s maximum speed is 302km/h.Acceleration 0-100 km/h sprints vary from 3,9 to 4,3 and 4,5 seconds.

Like Levante Trofeo, the new Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo also incorporate the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system, with a specific setup that guarantees enhanced driving dynamics, greater active safety and even more thrilling performance. The sedans have the Corsa button that sets the car for an even sportier driving style. Also included is Launch Control, a function that first appeared on Levante Trofeo, to unleash all the engine’s power and deliver breath-taking performance.

The Trofeo collection is unmistakable in looks, thanks to special stylistic touches that characterise these high performance models. They include the front grille with twin vertical bars in piano black finish, and the introduction of carbon fibre on the front air duct trims and rear extractor.

The Trofeo collection is distinguished by the red details that characterise the bottom profiles of the side air vents and the lightning bolt on the Trident badge on the C-pillars. And there are major changes at the rear of the car, where the light clusters have been completely restyled, with a boomerang-like profile inspired by the 3200 GT and the Alfieri concept car.

On the Ghibli Trofeo, the bonnet has also been restyled, featuring two aggressive air ducts for better cooling, just like on Levante Trofeo. Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo are fitted with 21” aluminium Orione wheels, while 22” Orione wheels are available on the Levante.
Inside, Trofeo hallmarks continue with a new on-board panel that displays an exclusive interface at switch-on, while the headrests bear the Trofeo badge with the name in three-dimensional relief. The exclusivity also extends to the interior upholstery, in full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather.

The ADAS system has evolved to include new functions, that can now be activated on urban roads and ordinary highways. New technologies also appear in MIA (Maserati Intelligent Assistant), the multimedia screen with upgraded resolution and larger size: 10.1” on both Ghibli Trofeo and Quattroporte Trofeo, while Levante retains the 8.4” display, but with improved resolution and graphics. Thanks to the Maserati Connect programme, the Trofeo collection is now permanently connected, with a full set of services to simplify its use.
Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo will be built at the Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli Plant (AGAP) at Grugliasco (Turin), and Levante Trofeo at the Mirafiori (Turin) plant.
