Maserati has long been associated with luxury, performance, and timeless Italian design. With their latest debuts, the Ghibli 334 Ultima and Levante V8 Ultima, the brand has once again reaffirmed its commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering exhilarating driving experiences. Notably, these models mark the final chapter in the collaboration between Maserati and Ferrari, as they feature the iconic Ferrari V8 engine.
The Maserati Ghibli 334 Ultima, in particular, has made waves in the automotive world by claiming the title of the fastest production sedan in the world. With a top speed of 334 km/h, the Ghibli 334 Ultima is a true force to be reckoned with on the road. It is a remarkable achievement for Maserati and showcases the brand's dedication to performance and engineering excellence.
Under the hood, the Ghibli 334 Ultima is powered by a Ferrari-sourced 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. This powerhouse produces a staggering 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, enabling the sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. Maserati has also worked diligently to optimize the car's aerodynamics, ensuring that it maintains stability and control even at high speeds.
In terms of design, the Ghibli 334 Ultima retains Maserati's signature sleek and elegant aesthetic. Its aggressive stance, sculpted lines, and distinctive grille give it a commanding presence on the road. Inside the cabin, luxurious materials and meticulous craftsmanship create an atmosphere of sophistication and comfort. Advanced technology features, including a cutting-edge infotainment system and driver-assistance technologies, further enhance the overall driving experience.
The Levante V8 Ultima, Maserati's luxury SUV, also receives the Ferrari V8 treatment in this final collaboration. With the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine found in the Ghibli 334 Ultima, it delivers an equally impressive performance. The Levante V8 Ultima offers a balance between sports car-like agility and the practicality and versatility of an SUV.
These limited-edition models, both the Ghibli 334 Ultima and Levante V8 Ultima, represent the culmination of Maserati's partnership with Ferrari. The collaboration between these two iconic Italian brands has yielded some of the most thrilling and sought-after vehicles in automotive history. As this chapter comes to a close, Maserati is set to embark on a new era of electrification and innovation, promising to continue delivering extraordinary driving experiences to its customers.
It is worth noting that the Ghibli 334 Ultima and Levante V8 Ultima are exclusive editions, with production numbers limited to ensure their exclusivity. Each model will feature unique badging and special interior and exterior accents, highlighting their significance as the final models in the Ferrari-powered lineup. These limited-edition vehicles will undoubtedly become highly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts, representing a unique piece of automotive history.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere.

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
