Maserati Lavante GTS To Leave Cayenne Turbo In The Dust With A 523HP Ferrari V8

The Maserati Levante will soon be hot on the heels of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo when a GTS version launches next year with a Ferrari V8 unit.

Spotted testing on the continent, the performance SUV model will inherit the twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre engine that’s currently used in the Quattroporte GTS, where it produces 523bhp.

I don't mean this as a dig, but is Maserati relevant as a car company? I thought that with the widely known understandings that the Ghibli is a disappointing product made from Chrysler parts bin contributions, that Maserati is now seen as an "also ran," or an example of a former glory presently relegated to a footnote.

Just an honest question, in case I should adjust my opinion on this matter.

Ditto Alfa Romeo.

Leave in the dust has it quickly pulls of the road for sudden emergency repairs.

I think it is a more relevant car brand than Alfa Romeo as a business, but perhaps has less a rabid fan base. The Quattroporte has been in production for a very long time. Other efforts have come and gone. The Coupe/GT has been a steady model for the last 10 years or so. SUV's like this one will only help. Crazy power is just part of the game now when building out a model range.

Go Maserati Magnum, go! I find it hilarious how much mileage FCA is getting out the the LX platform.
