The Maserati Levante Trofeo is being joined by the Ghibli Trofeo and Quattroporte Trofeo in the company’s highest-powered stable for the new model year. Each Trofeo variant represents the “most extreme“ version of the SUV and sedans available.
Maserati is highlighting the launch of the models by showcasing them in red, white, and green – a move that reminds photo viewers that the company recently re-upped its commitment to designing, engineering, and building Maseratis in Italy, the automaker’s historic home.
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.

The Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo each get a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 under the hood that reaches 580 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. In some markets the models will achieve 590 horsepower. The engine isn’t new for Maserati. It’s the same power plant that has already been used in the Quattroporte GTS where it achieves just 530 horsepower.
The saloons have a max speed of 202 mph while the Levante Trofeo tops out at 187 mph.
Maserati’s Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) System is installed in the Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo like it is in the Levante allowing for enhanced drive dynamics. The cars’ Corsa button amplifies the sportiness while Launch Control executes an operation as advertised.
Each model gets unique Trofeo line design enhancements including a front grille with twin vertical bars in Black Piano finish, carbon fiber front air duct trims and rear extractor, red details on the bottom of the side air vents, and a red-outlined lightning bolt on the Trident badge on the C-pillars.

Maserati has restyled the light clusters of the models giving them a boomerang profile that’s inspired by the 3200 GT and Alfieri concept car. The Ghibli Trofeo also has a restyled bonnet with two “aggressive” air ducts for enhanced cooling. The Levante Trofeo already has these in place.
Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo are fitted with 21-inch aluminium Orione wheels. Buyers can upgrade to 22-inch Orione wheels on Levante Trofeo.
The models all have a new on-board panel that displays an exclusive interface at switch-on. The vehicles’ headrests are all embossed with the Trofeo badge while the interior is outfitted in full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather.
Maserati is equipping the models with its Active Driving Assist system that can be activated only on city roads and highways. Additional technologies include a new, larger 10.1-inch infotainment screen in the Ghibli and Quattroporte (Levante retains the 8.4-inch display but with improved resolution and graphics).
