2021 Maserati Levante Trofeo | SUV Review | Driving.ca

If you're a big fan of the internal-combustion engine, you'll probably get a kick out of the specifications of the engine in the Maserati Levante Trofeo. This highest-performing version of the Italian automaker's crossover runs a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8, good for 7,000 revs, 590 horsepower, and a tonal character that sounds extra-sweet coming back your way after reflecting off nearby snow and ice.
Mostly, Ferrari-built V8 engines drive fast, light, low-to-the-ground supercars that most folks wouldn't dream of driving in the rain, let alone through the dead of a Northern Ontario winter in mid-February.
But while a pavement-scraping Italian exotic would lose a front bumper on a frost heave after about three minutes of driving up here, and the oil pan not long after that, the Levante Trofeo's air suspension lifts its curvaceous body up over the wheels for extra clearance at the touch of a button. Add in a set of winter rubber, and a tremendously flexible AWD system, and you've got a recipe for a hell of a thing to drive in a snowstorm.

Music is 💩. Curious how well this would last if you drove it like a normal person drives a Corolla or civic.
