Default Maserati reveals hardcore Trofeo Ghibli and Quattroporte saloons



Quote:
Maserati has fitted a 572bhp twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre petrol V8 engine in its Ghibli and Quattroporte to create new range-topping super-saloons.

The Trofeo-badged pair are the fastest standard Maserati production cars yet, capable of a 203mph top speed. The Mercedes-AMG C63-rivalling Ghibli Trofeo, the first Ghibli to feature a V8, can crack 0-62mph in just 4.3sec. The Quattroporte Trofeo, which lines up against the likes of the BMW M5, takes 0.2sec more.


Maserati recently launched a mild-hybrid petrol Ghibli as it gears up for a big electrification push, yet the Italian marque wants to not only protect high-performance petrol variants but also to see them thrive.

The Trofeo saloons join the Levante Trofeo SUV, which was launched here last year. It uses the same Ferrari-derived engine and has now had minor updates to match the saloons.

Whereas the Levante Trofeo has four-wheel drive, the saloons are rear-wheel-drive, with power sent through a ZF-supplied eight-speed automatic gearbox.



Peak power of 572bhp arrives at 6750rpm, while peak torque of 538lb ft is created at 2250-5250rpm.

Maserati has added a new Corsa driving mode to the super-saloons, which improves throttle and engine responses, quickens gearshifts, fully opens the exhaust valves, stiffens and lowers the suspension and limits the intervention of the electronic chassis control systems. It also includes a Launch Control function.

Both saloons get muscular styling upgrades to distinguish them from their lesser siblings and improve aerodynamic efficiency and cooling. Larger (21in) alloys are also fitted.

There are sporty new trims and leather sports seats inside to match, along with Maserati’s latest MIA infotainment, which is controlled via an enlarged (10.1in over 8.4in) touchscreen.

The Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo are available to buy now, with the former at £103,890 and the latter at £126,890.

I don't know why, but I've never been a fan of Maserati. When looking at the cost, I think there are much better options

They tank hard and you can get some damn solid lease deals on Maserati. But then you’re stuck driving a rental Maserati

I wish all Jaguars tanked hard. I have been looking for a great deal on an F-Type, but no luck so far.

Sounds like they are getting the 488/Tributo motor. Neat.

In all seriousness I have found plenty of deals on the V6, but the V8's and especially the Type R's are demanding a premium around there.

~$50k+

You can usually find fairly low mileage type R’s with rwd at carmax for low $40’s. Get that with carmax warranty and it’s a win. It was between the Type R and my M2. The type R is one hell of a beast and rips insanely hard with that beautiful engine roaring. For how small it is, it is heavy though. The V6 type S is also a fun car and sounds amazing too. Can’t go wrong with that.

Just get that warranty!

Plenty of XKRs in that range. They are a deal in true Jag fashion.

So you pulled on a luxo-barge with a 424hp V6 in a 420whp car. Neat.

Every time I look on to a new Maserati and I feel class but when I drove it somehow that dealing vaporizes because when it comes to comparing comfort between Maserati and new Mercedes https://admission-writer.com/, Mercedes always comes up on top in my opinion
