ARLINGTON, Virginia – Drivers of German luxury cars, take note: Maserati is coming after you.
The brand is expanding its presence in the D.C. area with a new showroom in Arlington, and the company wants you to consider one if its flashy cars for your commute.
“Maserati as a company has grown over 300 percent from last year to this year,” says Alex Macatuno, general sales manager at Maserati of Arlington. “There’s a demand for the product.”
Fueling the demand is a car that may not immediately come to mind when thinking about exclusive, Italian autos: a four-door with V6 power.
The Maserati Ghibli “starts at $66,900, which now is about in the same range as a BMW or a Mercedes or a Porsche or an Audi,” says Macatuno.
That V6 powerplant is a twin-turbo unit built in Italy by Ferrari which puts out either 345 horsepower or 404 horsepower, depending on model. All wheel drive is available.
Maserati makes a larger four-door car, the Quattroporte, which starts at just over $100,000.
Its two-door model, the GranTurismo, starts at more than $125,000.
