The Maserati Levante (chassis M161) is the first SUV ever to wear the Trident, and the first volume Maserati to share its powertrain catalogue end-to-end with Ferrari Maranello. Production began at Mirafiori in 2016 on a shortened version of the Quattroporte M156 longitudinal saloon platform — double-wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear, four-corner air springs and Maserati's Q4 all-wheel drive. The Mansory programme on this page reframes the Levante's silhouette into a wide-body GT-SUV configuration while leaving the Ferrari-derived powertrains and the ZF 8HP transmission absolutely untouched.
Sister Maseratis in the Hodoor catalogue: Ghibli M157, GranTurismo, the Nettuno-engined MC20, the open-roof MC20 Cielo and the wider-arch MC20 wide-body.
| Trim | Years | Engine | Power | 0-100 | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Levante (V6) | 2016-2022 | 3.0 V6 twin-turbo (Ferrari F154) | 350 PS | 6.0 s | Q4 AWD |
| Levante S | 2016-2022 | 3.0 V6 twin-turbo | 430 PS | 5.2 s | Q4 AWD |
| Levante GTS | 2018-2022 | 3.8 V8 twin-turbo (Ferrari F154) | 550 PS | 4.2 s | Q4 AWD |
| Levante Trofeo | 2018+ | 3.8 V8 twin-turbo | 580 PS | 3.9 s | Q4 AWD |

The OEM front and rear bumpers, fender flares, side skirts and rear wing are replaced; doors, roof, tailgate and main fender pressings stay factory steel and aluminium. Trofeo donors leave the OEM carbon front splitter and side blades in place at the body shop — the Mansory programme replaces those with the wider Mansory weave so the carbon read is consistent across the body.
Both the V6 and V8 in the Levante are built by Ferrari at Maranello: the V6 cars share the F154 3.0 architecture with the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio, and the GTS / Trofeo run the F154 3.8 V8 derived from the Ferrari Roma / Portofino V8. The transmission is the ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic, calibrated by Maserati. Mansory does not catalogue a Powerbox or ECU module on the Levante. The 580 PS Trofeo already sits at the upper end of the F154 V8's stock cooling envelope on this chassis — boost increases beyond OEM trim push intercooler heat past the cooling-pack ceiling unless a revised intercooler stack is fitted, which sits outside the body programme. Trofeo clients who want power gains typically work with Ferrari V8-T tuning houses (with prior cooling-pack experience on Roma and Portofino) and then mount the Mansory body work afterward.
OEM Levante wheels run from 19" or 20" cast on volume trims to 21" forged on Trofeo. Mansory's matched fitment is the M-series fully forged 22" staggered set (9.5J x 22 front / 11J x 22 rear) or the 23" staggered set (10J / 11.5J). The 22" forging adds visual presence without sacrificing ride comfort on the air-spring suspension; the 23" is recommended on Trofeo trim only, where the firmer chassis tune absorbs the larger rim and the OEM lift-mode handles low-speed kerb work. Diamond black, polished silver, gun metal and Mansory bronze are the catalogue finishes; the wheel range lives at the forged wheel collection.
Body-shop time is 14 to 18 days for the full programme, dependent on whether the bonnet and rear wing are supplied raw-weave or painted body-colour. The fender flares bond onto the OEM steel fender stamping; the adhesive specification is steel-grade structural bonder (different from the aluminium-grade bond used on Ferrari and Aston bodies). Body shops with prior Quattroporte M156 or Ghibli experience handle the work directly. Fender-bond geometry differs between the pre-facelift fascia and the 2022+ Modena / GT facelift — the kit ships with the correct bonding template once the chassis VIN and trim are confirmed at quote.
The Levante is the Maserati group's volume model — production has run into five-figure annual numbers since 2016, so the donor population is broad. Geographic concentration:

WhatsApp +44 7488 818747 for fastest landed-quote response. Specify chassis year and trim so the correct front bumper SKU (pre-facelift vs Modena / GT) ships with the kit.
Will the same kit fit my Levante GT (facelift) and a 2018 Trofeo?
The body shell is shared across all M161 trims, but the front bumper geometry changed at the 2022 Modena / GT facelift. The Mansory programme ships the front bumper in two variants — pre-facelift (2016-2021) and Modena / GT / facelift (2022+) — and selects the correct one by chassis VIN at quote. Fender flares, side skirts, rear bumper and rear wing are common across all years.
Does the kit affect Levante's air suspension and lift mode?
The body programme does not modify air spring lines, ride-height sensor mounts or the air-suspension control module. The 22" wheel runs comfortably at OEM ride-height envelope; the 23" benefits from lift-mode at parking speeds (loading ramps, speed bumps) but does not require permanent lift. The Levante's auto-lowering at motorway speed continues to function unchanged.
Will the kit fit the diesel Levante?
Yes. The Levante Diesel (3.0 V6 turbodiesel by VM Motori, 2016-2020 in Europe) shares the body shell with the petrol cars; the fender, splitter and rear bumper kit aligns identically. Diesel cars do not get the Trofeo sport-exhaust cutouts — the rear-bumper diffuser still ships with the Trofeo-style exhaust openings, but the OEM diesel exhaust outlets sit differently and require an exhaust extension at fitment. Specify diesel powertrain at quote so the bumper is configured correctly.
Can the bonded fender flares be removed later?
The flares are bonded to the OEM steel fender stamping with a structural bonder. Removal is possible at a Mansory-experienced body shop with controlled heat, but the donor's original quarter-panel paint will need re-blending after removal. Owners who want a fully reversible programme are routed to the trim-pack components (mirror caps, side-scoop overlay) without the bonded flare set.
Does the rear wing interfere with tailgate operation?
No. The fixed wing sits on the tailgate trailing edge at a height that clears the OEM rear-camera field of view and the OEM proximity-sensor cluster. Power-tailgate opening swings through the OEM kinematic envelope without contact. The wing's adjustable end-plates allow a small angle change at install for owners running roof-rack systems behind the wing.
