You Can Now Order An SUV With A Ferrari-Built Engine
A petrol-powered Maserati Levante has joined the range alongside the diesel already on sale in the UK.
There was originally some doubt over whether or not Maserati GB would take up the option of the Ferrari-built twin-turbocharged V6, but the 3.0-litre unit is now officially a choice.
It delivers 424bhp and a rich, bombastic soundtrack along with potential for 164mph and 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds; not bad for a big SUV like the Levante.
Known as the Levante S, its arrival in the UK is, apparently, in response to customer demand, but given how few petrol-powered SUVs you generally see on the roads, we’re not sure where this demand is coming from. The Premier League, perhaps…?
Prices for the S will start from £70,755, but don’t count on leaving the dealership without having committed at least a few thousand more on some of the huge array of options available. From personal experience on the car’s launch, adding £15,000 is easier than it should be…

Their version of copying homework
It’s the other way around. The Maserati Levante S with the Ferrari engine has been out for over a year, it only came out in the UK just now!
They aren’t the same engines. The Maserati is an F160 enigne whereas the Quadrifoglio engine is F154. Don’t know why they didn’t just use the same engine in both.
But you can buy a Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Witch has a Ferrari engine with two cylinders cut off
its the same engine just slightly detune (probably for torque) on the bigger car
But rich Chaldeans will still buy the Levante instead.
Or you can save a whole bunch of money and get the new SQ5. I know the Italian style and noise is tempting, but you have to pay for it.
Ferrari built … another excuse to up the service costs. Keep it buddy! Its just an SUV
Not sure why the press photo shows it splashing in mud, since less are going to be used for that purpose than 911R owners that actually drive their cars

Nissan420sx QianLi come on, ban this guy
Or you can order an Alfa Romeo Guilia. Ratehr have that than the Trident.
Saw a Levante up close the other day… no thanks… as other have said, rather have the Guilia! Maybe I’m just not their target market.
