Maserati makes a 328-foot trident with 80 Grecale test mules



Maserati Delay the launch of Grecale, its long-awaited second SUV, from November 2021 to spring 2022, but that doesn’t mean the test mules and the engineers tasked with driving them are on leave. The company is still testing prototypes around the world, and it brought 80 fully camouflaged pre-production models to a test track in Modena, Italy, to create a giant trident symbol.

More than 250 development models growing by mile in Italy, Finland, United Arab Emirates, China, Japan and the United States, according to the Italian company. About a third of them gather near the company’s home city to form the 328-foot trident. It’s a stunt that allows Maserati to throw in some cool visuals, but it only teaches us a little bit about Levante’s little brother, will be targeted Porsche Macan. Luckily, Maserati also released a few images showing the four prototypes parked up front Milan Cathedral.

We can say that Grecale borrow some styling cues are from MC20; it’s not simply shrinking Levante. Its headlights are oval and almost vertical (the Levante’s is thin and almost horizontal) and its grille looks wider and thinner. Previous spy footage suggests that the Grecale carries a roofline that leans more towards sport than utility; it is not a utilitarian passenger car with the proportions of a school bus.

Unverified reports claim that Maserati will build Grecale on top of the Giorgio platform development Alfa Romeo by Stelvio and Giulia Models. If that’s correct, rear-wheel drive will likely become standard (at least in some markets) and all-wheel drive will be offered for an extra charge. We anticipate that four- and six-cylinder engines will be available, though full specs haven’t been announced and Maserati previously confirmed that a high-performance version worthy of the iconic Trofeo will join the range at some point.

More details about the Maserati Grecale will appear in the coming months.
