Maserati Grecale Trofeo

The engine is the whole story. The Nettuno was designed for the MC20 — a mid-engined two-seat supercar — and it lights its mixture twice over, through a pre-chamber of the kind Formula One made famous. Maserati then dropped it into a family-sized SUV, which is either absurd or exactly the point, depending on how you feel about five seats that reach sixty in three point six seconds.

Everything around it is the Grecale you already know: the same body, the same three vents in the wing, the same cabin. What changes is the stance and the hardware — twenty-one-inch wheels, red calipers showing through the spokes, a deeper front with carbon at the nose, and four pipes under the rear diffuser. One shape, two temperaments, and this is the loud one.
