Maserati Levante Navy

As AMG is to Mercedes-Benz, AMR is to Aston Martin, Black Badge is to Rolls-Royce and Speed is to Bentley, so Trofeo is to Maserati. Which is to say, far more than just extra carbon fibre on the grille. Certainly, discerning buyers expect to experience a taste of the motorsport legacy behind the badge these days. Accordingly Aston’s AMR division offers a choice of styling and engineering upgrades, Rolls-Royce tweaks the power output alongside the smoked Spirit of Ecstasy, Bentley goes hardcore with its Speed variants, and … Maserati? Well, it adds Italian tuning worthy of Maria Callas, the power of Mount Etna and a garnish of la dolce vita spirit to its Trofeo-badged cars. The Levante was the first current Maserati to get the Trofeo treatment, but is now joined by Ghibli and Quatttroporte Trofeos. From the outside the styling distinctions are beautifully subtle - red shading and a silver Trofeo badge round the side gills, a red streak through the Trident badge on the C-pillar and the Italian badge on the B-pillar.
