Maserati launches the F Tributo Special Edition models as a tribute to Maria Teresa De Filippis, the first woman to ever qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The Maserati Ghibli F Tributo Special Edition in Grigio Lameria (gray)
These special editions are a series of limited production variants for both the Maserati Ghibli sedan and Levante crossover. Both cars still assume their familiar outlines but added choice details as a salute to the tenacious competitive spirit of De Filippis.
Among these features are two exclusive color options. One of these is the bright orange Arancio Devil, a nod to De Filippis’ nickname “the she-devil".
The other is Grigio Lameria gray which is a reference to Maserati’s rich history in racing and its deep-rooted motorsport DNA. This shade of gray, after all, is reminiscent of the color of a race track's surface.
The Maserati Levante F Tributo Special Edition in Arancio Devil (orange)
Other features unique to the F Tributo Special Edition model include the 21-inch Anteo or Titano Wheels. A new badge specific to the trim is also present on certain parts of the car. The one in gray gets orange badges, while the one in orange gets cobalt blue badges.
Inside the F Tributo Special Edition trims are seats wrapped in natural PienoFiore leather. Plenty of the interior’s bits are then decorated with cobalt blue finishes and orange stitching.
The Ghibli F Tributo Special Edition's cockpit
While standing out in terms of style, the F Tributo Special Edition versions of the Ghibli and the Levante remain mechanically identical to their regular counterparts.
For the Ghibli, the current version has three engine options across four different trims. The most powerful V8-powered Trofeo variant makes 580 horsepower.
