Maserati has stormed the 2018 New York motor show and the 542bhp Jaguar F-Pace SVR"s welcome party with its own super-SUV. The interloper is the new Levante Trofeo, and it"s aimed squarely at the new supercharged Jag, and the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 M. Behind the enormous new front grille lives a 3.8-litre bi-turbo V8 built by Ferrari in Maranello and related to the drop-top Portofino"s engine. In the Levante Trofeo, it"s developing 582bhp and 538lb ft, which punts Maserati right into the sharp end of the super-SUV set. You"ll need a Bentley Bentayga or Lamborghini Urus to trump the numbers behind that grille. And even in our mind-pulverising age of potty 4x4 performance, the Levante Trofeo"s figures are eye-watering. Maserati"s timed the car from 0-60mph (old school) in 3.7 seconds, and to the usual industry standard of 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds. Pesky gearchanges
