Trofeo versions of Ghibli and QP to be launched?

[merak1974]

Seems Maserati is launching Trofeo versions of the Ghibli and QP, alongside the already existing Levante. Premiere on 10th of August. https://houseof.maserati.com/?utm_c...3fl5qWFM0IrPJfG50FW4l7HfR7OpBW5QOfxlVq3qy9PxU

About time for the Ghibli - but didn’t we already have that in the QP GTS?

I think Maserati is launching a new 4.0 liter V8 engine, at least in the QP. Possibly also in the Levante.

Yes, I am surprised Maserati has waited so long with a hot rod Ghibli.

This one should be a little more exciting than the hybrid reveal was!

Well that is a pretty low bar you are setting there!

QP - thats pushing the racing car connection a little far.

Hoping for a twin turbo v8 but after the not-hybrid I’m guessing 4-cyl diesel.

A V8 in the Ghibli.....Now that is great news and if they make it a true 'Trofeo' for the road we may have an M or AMG alternative....A modern day Ghibli cup.....Now that much better news that when they stuck it in the Maserati Lefatte.

Indeed! The QP won the Superstars Championship in 2011 against the likes of Mercedes AMG, Porsche, and BMW M3s.

Yes, that was a great race series.....Followed it for years and then got to see it at Donington. Johnny Herbert drove the QP.....That later car looked awesome as well.....

Also have two PS3 Superstar games which were fun...A bit old now though.

202mph and 580bhp, what’s not to like? Hmmmm, I’m thinking they won’t be cheap.

Prices will drop like uranium-depleted tanks, and then pick them up for a bargain in a handful of years time?? Thats my plan at least!

It had better be good if it’s an M5 rival.

They actually look really nice. There’s a thread on PistonHeads about them I’ve just noticed it then came across here for a looksee

 

[Devonboy]

If the QP / Ghibli also has the all new infotainment system...then this may be "one small step for man and one giant leap for the brand"

This is actually quite encouraging after the hybrid flop.....sorry

I’m liking the V8 Ghibli idea, finally something to buy.
