Maserati will discontinue V8 engines next year

The advent of the Maserati 5000GT in 1959 marked the seminal moment when the Italian marque ventured into the realm of V8 engines. Subsequently, Maserati achieved remarkable sales figures, exceeding 100,000 units of their eight-cylinder vehicles. Alas, the sun is setting on Maserati’s V8 engines, with their imminent demise on the horizon. Beyond 2024, prospective buyers shall have to contend with the availability of four-cylinder and V6 engines, alongside the compelling array of electric models.

The valedictory tribute to Maserati’s V8 engines manifests in the form of the Trofeo variants of the Levante, Ghibli, and Quattroporte. Aptly powered by a twin-turbocharged eight-cylinder engine generating an impressive 572 horsepower, these magnificent machines bid farewell to the cherished V8 lineage. Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to bid adieu to this iconic powertrain at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the Ghibli 334 Ultima, Levante V8 Ultima, and Maserati Trofeo will be unveiled to the discerning public.

The transition from combustion engines to electric powertrains is commonly ascribed to the stringent European directive set for 2035. Nevertheless, Maserati aspires to embrace full electrification five years ahead of schedule, underscoring their commitment to seamlessly fuse “timeless style, feel, and performance” with the dawn of the electric age. Evidencing a prodigious start to their electrified journey, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore secured the coveted TopGear Award for Best Electric GT, reaffirming the brand’s remarkable trajectory in this paradigm shift.
