The Levante GTS Twin Turbo V8 maintains the V90 architecture of the 3.8-litre unit fitted in the flagship Quattroporte GTS but has been re-engineered to work with the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System and retuned to deliver 542bhp at 6,250rpm and 730Nm peak torque between 2,500 and 5,000rpm. Like all Maserati petrol engines, this V8 is assembled by Ferrari in Maranello.
The rigid and perfectly balanced Levante chassis has been tuned to effortlessly handle the immense power of the GTS engine, providing a driving experience true to the 'Gran Turismo' pedigree of this new V8 Maserati of SUVs.
The Levante's unmistakable design embodied a new level of sportiness in the Trofeo version and the new GTS has adopted a similar styling theme, which focuses on the lower front fascia and the rear bumper, achieving a sporty yet sophisticated look.
Interior designers have come up with elegant ideas to create a distinctive environment within the Levante GTS cabin providing it as standard with full premium leather or full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather as an option, sport pedals and Harman Kardon Audio system with 14 speakers.
Rather than simply correcting vehicle instability, the IVC function helps prevent it, providing enhanced active safety, improved driving dynamics and an even more exciting performance.
The brand new Levante GTS and the Levante Trofeo, which makes its European debut at Goodwood, welcome visitors to the Maserati stand, where the GranLusso and GranSport trims take centre stage. The iconic Maserati MC12 in its racing blue livery is also on display.
The thunderous V12 engine of the MC12 GT1 Centenario will come to life on the hill, taking part in the iconic Goodwood hillclimb. The MC12 Versione Corse will also take pride of place in the Festival of Speed Silver Jubilee display.
