Fastest Levante in Maserati’s History Destined for South Africa
The fastest Levante in Maserati’s history is speeding to South African shores.
Maserati South Africa has confirmed it will launch the powerful 433 kW V8 Levante Trofeo SUV in South Africa in 2020.
The Trofeo boasts a 3.8-litre Twin Turbo V8 engine that has a power-to-weight ratio of 156 horsepower per litre, giving it a 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 304 km/h.
Rens Rademeyer, Dealer Principal at Maserati Johannesburg says aside from being one of the most powerful Maserati models ever, the Levante Trofeo’s sporting interior offers all the comfort of a prestigious SUV.
“Every Trofeo will have Maserati’s exclusive Pieno Fiore Italian leather as standard, and is equipped with a 1 280 Watt, 17-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium surround sound audio system, for a concert-hall sound experience.”
The Levante Trofeo was first revealed at last year’s New York International Auto Show, where it was lauded for combining a powerful engine with perfect weight distribution and a low centre of gravity.
The first unit, a specially numbered Launch Edition in Blu Emozione Matte, will arrive in the first quarter of 2020, with bespoke units following soon thereafter.
