Maserati Horsepower Guide

One of the major reasons why people buy a Maserati is that they’re built for performance in a way that their competitors simply aren’t. They’re equipped with performance suspension, big brakes, and grippy tires, but the most important factor is horsepower. Maserati is big on offering huge amounts of horsepower, and Maserati Akron has put together this guide to illustrate just how much of a horsepower advantage you get with a Maserati.

Maserati Grecale Horsepower

Max Horsepower – 523

Max Torque – 457 lb-ft

Max Top Speed – 177 mph

The compact SUV segment might seem really competitive at first, but that isn’t a problem for the Maserati Grecale the way it is for other compact SUVs. That’s because competitors don’t offer the same kind of power as the Grecale, even those competitors built for performance, like the Porsche Macan. The Gracale is available with two different engines in three different performance levels. The first is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces either 296 or 325 horsepower. For those who want more power, a lot more, there is the 3.0-liter V6 in the Grecale Trofeo, which puts out 523 horsepower. All versions of the Grecale are AWD. Looking at the competition, the difference is clear, and especially dramatic when you consider that every one of these vehicles is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

Maserati Levante Horsepower

Max Horsepower – 572

Max Torque – 538 lb-ft

Max Top Speed – 187 mph

The Levante is an SUV with real presence, a beautifully sculpted and massively powerful machine with a luxurious interior. Capable of the kind of performance that you might not have known an SUV was capable of. The base GT trim comes with a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 345 horsepower. The Modena bumps the power from that V6 up to 424 horsepower. Move up to the Modena S and the engine grows to a 3.8-liter V8 that produces 523 horsepower. Lastly, the top Trofeo trim comes in at 572 from its V8 engine. All of these come with standard AWD. As you can see, there are a number of competitors, mostly also using 3.0-liter six-cylinder engines, but none of them quite measure up, especially not across all three categories.

Maserati GranTurismo Horsepower

Max Horsepower – 751

Max Torque – 995 lb-ft

Max Top Speed – 203 mph

The name says it all with the Maserati GranTurismo, a grand tourer that offers up some serious power. A powerful drivetrain, room for luggage, and comfortable seats are the winning combination that Maserati continues with this latest generation of GranTurismo. Three power levels are offered, with the entry-level Modena offering a V6 producing 483 horsepower. Option up to the also V6-powered Trofeo and you get 542 horsepower. But it is the Folgore that sits at the top of the range, with an all-electric drivetrain that makes 751 horsepower. The GranTurismo’s competitors are all very expensive, so we’re using the Folgore for the comparison. This is especially apt in the case of the Rolls-Royce Spectre, which is also an all-electric grand tourer.
