Maserati Adds Quattroporte And Ghibli To Its Trofeo Range

Maserati has expanded its Trofeo collection. Subsequent to the 2018 launch of the powerful Levante Trofeo SUV, Maserati has added the new Quattroporte and Ghibli to the Trofeo range, the pinnacle of performance, sportiness and luxury.

Highlighting 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 national colours are combined with the burnished chrome-work and glossy red trims for a particularly aggressive and elegant look.

Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo will be built at the Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli Plant (AGAP) at Grugliasco (Turin), while Levante Trofeo will be at the Mirafiori (Turin) plant.

The Power of V8

The heart of the Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo is the 3.8 litre V8 Twin Turbo that has an output of 580hp at 6,250 rpm and peak torque of 730Nm.

The engine, which was earlier revealed in 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 in the 530hp version of Quattroporte GTS. Today, the 580hp V8 engine is available in the new Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante* Trofeo, in full compliance with fuel efficiency and emissions standards.

Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo can claim to be the fastest Maserati sedans ever, with a top speed of 326km/h; 0-100km/h sprint times are 4.3 and 4.5 seconds respectively. The top speed for Levante Trofeo is 302km/h, and its 0-100km/h sprint is done in 4.1 seconds (Europe).

Advanced Driving Systems

Like the Levante Trofeo, the new Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo also incorporate the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system. This system has 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 in Levante Trofeo. This mode unleashes all the engine’s power and delivers breathtaking performance and an authentic Maserati driving experience.

Making Them Special

While the unique signature of every Maserati is the sound of its engine, the Trofeo collection come with unmistakable looks, thanks to special stylistic touches that characterise these high performance models. These include the front grille with twin vertical bars in Black Piano finish, and the introduction of carbon fibre on the front air duct trims and rear extractor, for an even more aggressive effect.

The whole 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.

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.

In terms of 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-inch aluminium Orione wheels. Meanwhile, 22-inch Orione wheels are available on Levante Trofeo.

The Trofeo characterisation continues in the interior, 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.

Digital Assistance

Moreover, the ADAS system has evolved to include new functions.Thanks to Active Driving Assist the assisted driving function 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-inch on both Ghibli Trofeo and Quattroporte Trofeo, while Levante retains the 8.4-inch display, but with improved resolution and graphics.

Furthermore, thanks to the Maserati Connect programme, now the Trofeo collection is always connected, with a full set of services to simplify its use.
