Maserati’s ‘most powerful collection’ arrives in Qatar
Maserati Qatar has announced the arrival of the “most powerful collection” from Maserati, the 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 in Qatar, “achieving the pinnacle of performance, sportiness and luxury”, according to a press statement.
Maserati reinterprets its sedans by introducing the V8 engine. The heart of Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo is the 3.8L V8 Twin Turbo with a power output of 580hp at 6,250rpm and peak torque of 730Nm. Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo can proudly claim to be the fastest Maserati sedans ever, with a top speed of 326km/h, the statement notes, adding that Levante Trofeo’s maximum speed is 302km/h.
The engine, which has already revealed all its power on Levante Trofeo, is built at the Ferrari plant in Maranello to Maserati’s specifications, and has been modified and developed to deliver equally impressive performances on the rear-engine sedans.
While the unique signature of every Maserati is the sound of its engine, now the Trofeo collection will be even more unmistakable in 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.
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.
New technologies also appear in MIA (Maserati Intelligent Assistant) and thanks to the Maserati Connect programme, now the Trofeo collection is always connected, with a full set of services to simplify its use.
The Trofeo Collection is on display at the Maserati Qatar showroom located at The Pearl-Qatar, Medina Centrale area. The opening hours from 9am to 9pm, Saturday to Thursday.
