AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/26 Report--

According to foreign media reports, a group of camouflage test photos of Maserati's brand new sports car have been exposed on the Internet. The new car is expected to be named Alfieri and will be unveiled in May 2020. In addition, the new car uses a mid-engine layout and is expected to carry six-cylinder power.

Maserati's brand new sports car is still in disguise and looks like an enlarged Alfa Romeo 4C. As can be seen from the test photos, the new sports car is still in the stage of heavy camouflage, and only the general styling design of the new car can be seen. There are three large air intakes on the front face of the new car, and the specific role is still unknown; judging from the opening in front of the rear wheel arch, the car adopts a mid-engine layout.

There is not much news about the new car, with foreign media claiming that the new Maserati sports car will be named Alfieri, the name of Maserati's concept car released in 2014, but the new car may not have much to do with it.

On the power side, as Ferrari has stopped supplying Maserati with engines, the new car will be equipped with a new mid-mounted six-cylinder engine developed by the FCA Group. Officials have not yet disclosed the parameters of the new sports car. According to Maserati's recently updated product plan, the new sports car will most likely be equipped with an electrified powertrain.

In terms of Maserati's future product planning, in addition to this brand-new sports car, the Ghibli made in Turin will be the first hybrid model of the Maserati brand. Another new SUV will be produced at the Casino plant with an investment of nearly 800 million euros, the new production line will be launched at the end of the first quarter of 2020, and the first test runs are expected to be off-line in 2021.

On this basis, Maserati's future product plans also include new GranTurismo and GranCabrio models, which will also be electrified.
