2017 Maserati Levante Esteso By Novitec

The German tuning house has crafted an aggressive piece of kit for the Italian SUV, turning it into a widebody, high-performance car. An eight-piece kit adds fender flare upgrades to the front and rear, bringing an additional 10cm to the car's width and a much more imposing presence. The front of the car gets a wind tunnel-tested front spoiler and spoiler blade while the rear gets a diffuser-shaped addition that's integrated into the rear production bumper. Other upgrades include 22" wheels, a Novitec control module that lowers the ride height by 25mm, and engine tuning options for both the diesel and gas variants. The six-cylinder turbodiesel model can be boosted from 275 hp to 322 hp allowing for a 0-62 time of 6.2 seconds while the Levante S can squeeze out 494 hp, a 0-62 time of 4.8 seconds, and a top speed of 169 mph.
