The latest versions of the Maserati Ghibli 334 Ultima and the Levante Ultima with the V8 engine from Ferrari

A V8 engine is something to take into account. But the time of these powerplants has passed, as they consume too much and have become a problem in terms of their polluting emissions. So brands such as Maserati are going to say goodbye to this type of engine. It will do so with the launch of two special editions of the Maserati Ghibli 334 and the Maserati Levante. Both will carry the Ultima name and will be the last to feature the V8 engine originating from Ferrari.

Both special editions were presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. At that event it was announced that the Maserati Ghibli 334 Ultima will have only 103 units, while the Maserati Levante Ultima will have only 206 units. Under the hood of both models is the powerful twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 580 CV and a maximum torque of 590 Nm.

The price of these units has not been revealed, but given their status as special editions, it is assumed their price will be considerably higher than that of the Trofeo version.

As for the characteristics specific to each version, the Maserati Ghibli Ultima offers a top speed of 334 km/h, which is 8 km/h more than the Trofeo version. With this, the brand claims it is the fastest combustion-engined saloon on the market.

It is available in Persia Blue, with decorative details made of carbon fibre and Rosso Rubino 334 lettering on the wings. The grey wheels feature the Maserati logo. The “334 Ultima” designation appears on the headrests and on a numbered plaque located on the central console. The upholstery is black leather, also pale terracotta and Alcantara, with carbon fibre accents in contrast.

Maserati Levante Ultima

As for the Maserati Levante Ultima, it comes in two different versions. The first is painted in Nero Absoluto and the second in Blu Royale. On the wing, the inscription “V8 Ultima” can be read in red. There are also carbon fibre details and alloy wheels in gloss black with matching brake calipers.

Inside, both versions feature the same colour combination as the Maserati Ghibli 334, with Pale Terracotta and Black as the main colours. The version name also appears on the headrests and the central console.
