Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati

Fiat-owned performance brand Abarth is to launch a special-edition model based on luxury supercar brand Maserati.
The Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati is a tricked-out version of the Fiat 500 which layers in Abarth performance touches and an admittedly-impressive Maserati veneer.
Somewhat reminiscent of the Aston-Martin Cygnet, the Tributo Maserati is a convertible model finished in a color exclusive to Maserati, Pontevecchio Bordeaux.
In collaboration with Maserati, Abarth engineers uprated the 16V 1.4-liter turbo engine, giving it an output of 180hp to the special electronic gearbox, which Abarth says offers reduced gearshift times.
A set of new 17-inch tires featuring the Maserati ‘Neptun’ design and the distinctive hexagonal exhaust pipes found on Maserati cars such as the GranTurismo or Quattroporte complete the model.
Abarth says that it will only produce 499 of the 695 Tributo Maserati, which will be launched at the Geneva Motor Show (March 8-18).

Maserati’s Kubang Concept set to be launched

Maserati’s Kubang Concept, which was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September, is all set to make its debut on North American soil in Detroit. The Kubang shares a sentiment with Detroit, the city being the place where the SUV will be built. Maserati expects the SUV to do well, anticipating sales of about 20,000 a year, mostly in the US and China.
Though the SUV is now being referred to as the Kubang, the name will be changed as soon the vehicle gets into production. The Kubang shares a common platform with the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The Maserati Style Center headed by Lorenzo Ramaciotti has, however, ensured that the body design remains unique.
Not much is known about the performance of the Kubang at the moment. The company has revealed that the production model of the Kubang will be similar to the concept, save for the interior which will get a revamp before production. North America continues to remain Maserati’s most important market, with an incredible sales growth of 10 per cent year-over-year in 2011.
