According to Ricky Bobby, it was Eleanor Roosevelt that said "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed." Italy's Maserati has taken that quote to heart. That's why the automaker decided that the New York International Auto Show is the perfect place to show off its new Levante Trofeo super SUV, which was previously thought to be a Levante GTS. There's no V-6 between these fenders. This Levante Trofeo packs a muscular V-8 that just so happens to be built by Ferrari.

Sitting in the nose of this very sporty utility vehicle is a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. In fact, this engine has the distinction of producing the most power per liter of any Maserati engine ever built. There's 590 horsepower ready to rock and 538 pound-feet of torque ready to roll. All of that Italian grunt is distributed to each corner of the Levante Trofeo through an all-wheel-drive system.
