Hi all.

We briefly owned a '22 Levante Modena, twin turbo, v6, yadda yadda, but a local jackass zigged when they should have zagged. Levante no more.

I absolutely LOVED driving that car in sport mode. It was way more fun than the MB 4.7L V8 twin turbo we had before it, but they are entirely different SUVS. Even walking up to the Maserati gave me a joy that i have not experienced from owning a car in maybe 20 years or so. I was volunteering to run the family shit errands, just to have a reason to drive it.

despite the pleasure i experienced driving that car, i always wondered about the V8 Levante. was i missing out?? i now have the option of getting the V8 levante and i'm wondering if anyone has driven both. is it that much peppy? is the exhaust that much louder and more satisfying?? there are none local that I want, so i would fly to buy if i go the V8 route.

i'm looking at Modena S, as opposed to Trofeo, simply because most of the Trofeos seem like less of a value because of the impending depreciation kick in the nuts that most Modena S have already taken by the time they return off-lease.

any input would be appreciated.

Anyone has a source or part number for the vent fins? It’s a 2013 GT. I had mine out and was cleaning the sticky off and broke the nipple off of one, so it just kind of hangs down now. It’s not the end of the world, but I’d like to switch out.

Hi all! So I have a 2008 QP and it was driving very beautifully until I left it for a frost or two. I think the battery needed a jump start so I used a generic battery charger that I bought from Canadian tire. The alarm rang and after a few key turns, it went out but I don’t think the battery is charging at all. Does a 2008 QP get locked or something if a non Maserati battery charger is used? What else could be the issue cuz I did try jump starting it with another car. I haven’t yet checked if there’s a high enough voltage so if that’s necessary I’ll quickly order a tester.

Could fellow Maserati / Levante owners please recommend a Faraday key cover / pouch that works with a Levante please? I've tried using ones that have worked well with my previous cars, but the key signal still seems to get through with the cover closed. Are Maserati signals stronger than other brands? The covers I've tried with the Levante still work well with my family and friends' cars so there's nothing wrong with them. Thanks.

Are the red seats more desirable than the other common black options? Does it show leather cracks less?

I’m an automotive journalist and I’ve driven most of the current lineup, save for the track cars. I’ve made some video reviews on them, but many of them are pretty similar when it comes down to it (GC/GT, specifically).

Is there anything about the GranCabrio specifically you have questions about? Or want to see in a video? Just want to make sure I make a useful video or it might not be worth doing at all.

A few caveats: -I don’t have another model for a head to head -I don’t have a track to drive on, it’s mostly a static review

Thanks Maserati fam

Hi all! I'm eyeing on a 2018 Ghibli, Granlusso. All seems to be fine, but when the hood is open, the sound of engine has a bit of metallic clink to it, on top of the regular engine rumble. The metallic clink is not audible when the hood is closed.

Recorded engine sounds from videos online don't seem to help, at least from the ones I've found, because the sound capture is not complete enough. I'm not good at describing sounds, so I hope my short description helps.

Is this normal to hear that metallic clink?

I made a phone call today to a repair shop and they claimed that their tablet has the Maserati/Ferrari software module that’s needed in order to diagnose and troubleshoot at a level similar to what a Maserati technician can do with a MDEVO 3 or an SD3 or SD2. I was surprised to hear this because the Maserati Diagnosi EVO 3 full kit (P/N: 900030476) costs $34,000. Hell even the MDEVO3 Light Kit (P/N: 900030477) costs $17,000. So I called Harbor Freight’s dedicated technical support line (877-987-4248) that handles questions related to the ICON T8 tablet and they sent me some information showing what this tablet can do. As an example, on a 2007 Quattroporte with DuoSelect it can go into the F1 Gearbox (NCR) and do an active test, get live data, get module information etc. It can even do sub-functions like the actuator bleed engagement and selection, actuators calibration, clutch actuator bleed, clutch configuration, PIS adaptation, reset wear index and self learning. The ICON T8 is only $900 but from what I’m seeing it’s able to do nearly everything that can be done by a $20,000 Leonardo or a $15,000 SD3 or SD2. What am I missing here? Has anyone purchased or used the ICON T8 tablet yet and what was your experience like with it. I’d love to get some real-world feedback. I’m strongly considering purchasing this device and wanted to see if anyone in the community had used this at all. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

I was expecting to see some of the folgore models getting to dealers here in the US by now. Does anyone know the US build plan and timing?

Thanks in advance.

I've driven much faster accelerating cars but nothing makes it stand like the exhaust note on the Masi. Truly an auditory bliss. And getting the RPM up and keeping it there without shifting... Ooof

There may be a lot to hate about Maserati but one thing for sure you can't hate the looks and you certainly can't hate the sound. The only car in the segment that gives you both without going deep into exotic/supercar territory.

Need to replace my factory speced Pirellis. Seem to last only 8-10k miles. Any recommendations on longer thread life while maintaining look and profile? I live in Alabama so Snow and ice not an issue.

Anybody purchase some catless downpipes ? If so how much you paid and can you link it (I got a 2016 maserati Quattroporte)

Hi all,

I’m looking at two cars: one is a 2019 GranTurismo MC Sportline (MY18) and the other is a 2019 GranTurismo MC (MY19).

Is there a definitive list of the differences between the two? I know there are some cosmetic differences but I’m curious about the exhaust differences - does the MC sound much better than the MC Sportline?

Its like a lambo aventador sv vs svj type question

I'm considering getting a Maserati. I'm an experienced but amateur mechanic with a garage full of thousands of tools, many of them very specialized. Anyway, I say this because I don't have a problem doing most of the work on a Maserati but I don't want a money pit either. I'm torn between two cars:

A 2017 Ghibli S Q4 with 62K miles that looks perfect, runs well (test drove it) and seems flawless. It does, however, have a "structural damage accident" history in Carfax. The dealer was up-front about it and said it was repaired years ago by the dealership and the damage was only to the left-front fender. I've looked and there's no evidence of the accident. I will have a PPI done.

--OR---

A 2014 Quattroporte S Q4 with 92K miles. This one looks good (from pictures) and the Carfax is clean.

Should I get the newer car with an accident history or an older car with higher miles but no accident on its record? I know 2014 was a bad year for the Ghibli (as Hoovie painfully discovered) but is this true of the QP as well? If not, how, when the engines/transmissions are the same and come from the same assembly line?
