Maserati Could Bring Back The V8, Finally

Maserati Explores V8 Revival for GranTurismo and GranCabrio

— The Oogway View

A V8 return for Maserati would be a direct acknowledgment that the brand's current electrified lineup hasn't fully satisfied the buyers it needs most. The GranTurismo and GranCabrio are the cars where that engine would carry the most weight — they're the emotional flagships, and a low-volume V8 variant would give Maserati something to point to when the conversation turns to driver engagement. The word 'exploring' matters here: this is not a confirmed program, and Maserati has a recent history of announcements that didn't reach production. Worth watching, not celebrating yet.

— The Story

Maserati is exploring a new V8 for its existing sports cars, potentially giving the GranTurismo and GranCabrio a low-volume dose of eight-cylinder power.
