2024 Maserati Grecale Trofeo Quick Review

The 2024 Maserati Grecale Trofeo ($105,500 starting in the US, $133,100 starting in Canada) is a 523 horsepower SUV with a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine - the same engine found in the MC20. It aims to stand out with vibrant paint, a ferocious exhaust and a Maserati styling touch. But does the Grecale live up to what one might expect of a Trofeo Maserati? And how does it compare to its rather stiff competition? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

Bought two maseratis for the firm's ceo and coo, one Levante Modena and a Grecale Trofeo. So far I was surprised with the built quality of the cars, it's surprisingly well made inside.

So much fun to watch!

[@ArthurBenetton]

Maserati is getting ever closer to making cars that make sense - the car's dynamics seem to be where they now need to be. Next phase is giving the interior a sense of occasion, like a Jaguar/Maserati of a decade ago - lots of wood and chrome and style. I believe there is a real market for a "handbag on wheels" kind of car - something about style and fashion where the emotional, Italian-ness makes sense, and for people who don't want a hardcore M or AMG. But still has to be fast and dynamic because Maserati. They've almost found it. The styling needs to be a little more expressive on the outside and much more expressive on the inside.

[@95mushroom]

The Nettuno is more of an exact clone of the F154 V8 in the California T minus 2 cylinders lobbed off, with unique to Maserati cylinder heads that feature ignition 'pre-chambers.' The 690T from the Quadrifolgios is slightly further revised from the F154, different bore/stroke, etc. The Nettuno and F154 share identical bore & stroke, internal hardware (bolts), coolant passages, etc. The Nettuno then uses dressings (alternator, a/c compressor, etc) from the 690T.

[@YS58329]

@@95mushroom From what I can tell the f154 seems to have a different bore x stroke to both the 690T and the Nettuno, maybe the Nettuno is just a bored out 690T? It does look like they have the same stroke length but a different bore diameter making the Nettuno 3.0 instead of 2.9.
