ROME: Maserati has expanded its high-performance Trofeo collection with the addition of the Quattroporte and Ghibli which now joins the Levante sports utility vehicle (SUV).

To highlight the brand's all-Italian identity, the colours chosen for the Trofeo collection launch were of the country’s flag - green for Quattroporte, white for Levante and red for Ghibli.

A new 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine is now the beating heart of the Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo which provides 580hp at 6,250rpm and 730Nm of torque.

The engine, already in the Levante Trofeo, is being built at the Ferrari plant in Maranello to the company's specifications.

Both the Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo can reach a top speed of 326kph while the Levante Trofeo is only able to reach 302kph.

Like the Levante Trofeo, the new Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo get the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system and now sports the Corsa (Race) button with Launch Control.

Externally, these high-performance models get slapped with a front grille with twin-vertical bars in Black Piano and the use of carbon fibre for the front air duct trims and rear extractor.

The whole Trofeo collection is distinguished by the red details that characterise the bottom profiles of the side air vents and the lightning bolt on the Trident badge on the C-pillars.

There are major changes at the rear of the car, where the light clusters having been completely restyled, with a boomerang-like profile inspired by the 3200 GT and the Alfieri concept car.
