Maserati arrive diesel and four-wheel drive

They come from America to rumors about future plans that will see leading Maserati, which would build on the "relationship" with Ferrari on their model to bring some of the most interesting technological solutions to Maranello. One of the next news will be a future sedan will propose next to the Maserati Quattroporte, a model coming in 2013 and destined to collide in a segment where the German command.

The car may have its strengths in style, with a line designed by Pininfarina, and the aluminum frame that would affect weight and performance, while more hardcore fans will be happy to know the possibility that the model is equipped with four-wheel drive, just as it should happen to the next generation of the Quattroporte.

The four-wheel drive would come from Ferrari FF, but not the only thing that the house will offer the Horse, because it also speaks to the possible adoption of a V8 engine derived from that which equips California. To change is spoken of eight reports of the ZF automatic. Future And sedan segment would also have a dowry, for the first time in a Maserati, a diesel engine, probably an enhanced version of the 3.0 V6 seen on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but should not miss the petrol 3.6 V6 Chrysler Pentastar, although with major revisions that would emphasize performance, so as to arrive at a total power supply close to 400 horsepower.

The Grand Cherokee should not only provide its interesting Maserati turbodiesel, but it could be the ideal base for an SUV that could come by 2014 but which still very little is known. What seems certain, however, is that the Maserati is planning to expand its range and to attack market segments currently left out of the goals set a few years ago.
