AutoExec Summary
Maserati is ending its 20-year engine partnership with Ferrari, resulting in the last few vehicles with Ferrari V8s being sold in Australia. The final cars include special-edition Ghibli 334 Ultima sedans, and once these are sold, there will be no more rear-wheel-drive V8 sedans left in the country. Maserati’s new 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6, known as the Nettuno, will succeed the Ferrari V8 in the lineup and will be available in various models. The next Levante and Quattroporte will be electric-only vehicles, and an electric version of the Maserati MC20 is also on the way. Mr. Barling stated that the new twin-turbo V6 is a worthy replacement for the V8.

Brands mentioned: Maserati, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG, Chrysler, Bentley, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz
