The Levante Trofeo is the Best Modern Maserati - Two Takes 

Two takes is way better than the one takes. Keep doing it.

It looks like you guys really did have a blast in this one. I've gotten used to Zack's One Takes and seeing you two review the same cars and calling it "Twok Takes" could be your next hit. Seeing Matt's analysis while Zack is driving. And reviewing Zacks reactions while Matt is driving puts everything together really well! Excited for the live cast. Stay Full and Healthy!

Years of normal society: reviews in solitude During a global pandemic: review together 😂👍🏻

I closed my eyes during the description and said amen to FCA at the end. Trofeo, Trackhawk, and Quadrifoglio are the holy trinity.

I love watching the both of you individually, but the two of you together is always a treat.

This a the first Maserati one take ever done by TheSmokingTire

If this is what Maserati can do with a large SUV, I can't wait for the MC20 they've been teasing

The amount of cash you can get on the hood of Trofeo's is hysterical. There is a brand new 2019 Trofeo for sale in Maryland with $42,000 off sticker.

Glorious V8 engine, rwd most of the time, and a gorgeous exterior. Love the dynamics. Only complaint is the interior and or price. Damn that engine sounds good though

7:30 *theStraightPipe boys just joined the chat*

Ever since I saw both of you in the mini I thought yes we definitely need this. To have a video that visualizes the opinions we love to hear on the podcast is a automatic win. Keep it up.

I love the 2 takes. It's the podcast vibe in-car. Thank you TheSmokingTire

The chemistry y’all have built on the podcast shines through really well here. Good episode guys!

I hope that these "2 guys, 1 take" videos do well enough to justify more. The conversational nature makes it fun to watch all the way through. Thanks guys!

OMG the two of you together is so much more great then either of you solo. Keep this format up! And stay safe in Cali, friends!

You know that Matt is going really fast when Zack giggles!

I really like these Two Takes guys!

The Smile on Zach’s face when Matt first pulls off says it all.

YES ON THIS FORMAT -- CAR POWER COUPLE !

Really like having Zack along for the ride, really enjoy the details you shared, really don't like the price because I would love one of these. Stay safe guys!

Hi guys, I really enjoy when you guys do the vids together! It works really well

I watched this video and immediately called our broker about availability. In my opinion up until now the last great Maseratis were the Bora and Ghibli SS. I own a blue over saddle leather 1970 SS that is an unrestored survivor with 38k miles. With the exception of tires, tune up parts, a headliner and other maintenance parts is all original and beautiful. Not just one of the greatest Maseratis of all time but one of the best GT cars of the era. Quite robust too for and old car. I got it from an estate sale with 29k miles and after a refurbish to make it road worthy have put 11k miles on it with almost no issues whatsoever. Matt not only do l enjoy your show l have used it as a bit if a buyers guide. A few months after your review an Alfa Montreal found it's way into my stable (every bit as fabulous as you said if not more so!) and just this past Monday took delivery of our Taycan Turbo S. So l'm curious to see how the Levante Trofeo feels in person. Thanks!

Absolutely adore this car. Cheers from Italy guys 🙌🏼

This two take was far more enjoyable than I expected it to be... And you guys gotta drive the Urus on the road and tell us about it

Two takes are most defiantly better than one, it's like mini version of the podcast in a car.

Really love that word 'talkative' to explain the handling feel. I'm going to steal it unashamedly.

love the two take....do more of these please!!!!!!

Yo these twin takes are sweet! It's like a bit of the podcast in the one take

It looks beautiful from every angle! Sound great too!

jheez dude your mobbing the bends in that thing, I love it, awesome vid

This format with both of you in the car is way better.

Love the “two takes”!

This was great! Hope to see more team-ups.

Todd and Paul from everyday driver figured it out with the podcast style reviews with both of them in the car. This is another example of it working very well

Great review about very rare car! Thank you very much! The car looks really good, by the way!

Got to say, that's a good looking SUV. Looks fast as well!

I'm glad Matt is giving this fast espresso a go! Maserati boys are given a break here!

Loving two takes is so good way better with both of you

You guys are soon lucky to have this ROAD to drive!😎

Owner of a 2017 Levante S. The slow(er) one. We just love it. Reliable, fun and fast. And like the "cash on the hood" comment on Masi prices, we got it in Ford Explorer territory. Now we get to hope it stays reliable. lol!!! So far, very good.

what an epic fast flowing road

Just happy to see the brand getting alittle love for a change instead of just being ok or not even that .

Looking forward to a Ghibli Trofeo review one day, seems like that car will be a good one with this engine.

All Alfa Romeo Stelvios have the same set up. Double wishbone front and multi link rear. It has really fast steering with the supple suspension. I love the Italians’ supple suspension set up. It’s just better and more rational on the road.

I think that this is a little taste of what's to come from our friends at Maranello!

How does this compare to the Jaguar F-Pace SVR or the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio in terms of driving dynamics?

This SUV is very appealing, sexy design. But new Maseratis are overpriced in my opinion, I’d wait about 2 years before buying one, then it starts to become more worth it I think. But for me personally I’d rather get the Stelvio QV

I like this car a lot! It seems really cool!

Great video guys...thanks.

8:59 camera angle? Or cutting it real close to the other guy?

we've featured the GTS on our show let's roll out and this Levante is really good to drive. loved the sound too. she's a devil in a blue dress 😀😀😀😀😀😀

Italian V8's really do hit differently. None of them fake german pops, just raw exhaust. One of the best driver's SUV on the market IMO (the other being Stelvio Q) Yeah interior, infotainment and technology might not be as good as in the rivals, but it's got everything you'll need. That's how they save on the weight and in return make it handle better.

Do you know the real curb weight? You can tell it's light on it's feet by the way you were throwing it around. Just wondering if there is any Italian measuring going on at all.

Which is a better giggle machine? Levante Trofeo or Jeep Trackhawk?

The proportions of the SUV are excellent

Stelvio QV comparison please! Great video

Please do more takes with the two of you when schedule permits. They are leagues better than Matt by himself and even the One Takes with Zach. It has so much more fun of a fun, natural vibe than either of you on your own (or with some awkward car enthusiast in Zach's case).

Always the people that try to bash the brand has never seen a Maserati in person nor have ever owned one..I have a 2010 Quattroporte Sport GTS fully loaded to gills and full of carbon fiber (inside and out) on Grigio exterior paint with all red leather interior with Alcantara insert on gloss black 20inch staggered Maserati wheel wrapped with 245front 295rear Pirrelli tires and I wouldn't trade it for nothing.

This thing could be a beast

Finally a fun to drive Maserati

This is the BEST looking SUV right now.

BEAUTIFUL ROAD!! Skyhook suspension was on the original Maserati Quattroporte sedan that shared the Ferrari Scageletti body

One month to the revealing of Grecale.. Will come in a Trofeo version as well

Lovely color

Is it worth twice the price of a Stelvio Quadrofolio?

They up ticked from lease to buy for many markets with the needed updates? IS it a Urus no this that and the new Aston need a challenge.

Can you guys do a noise only sound plz? I am really considering buying this suv

Can’t wait to get one in 6 years for 50k and tune it.

Saw your Instagram about food . Did not know you do car reviews )

what road is this need to take my jag there

Please drive a ghibli trofeo, it is what the ghibli should have been since day 1, same f154 ferrari engine, upgraded brakes, updated tech, rwd, 203 mph top speed, would like to hear your opinion. Thanks for all the great videos and information.

Great review as always. It's a curious car as its the same price in the UK as a Cayenne Turbo or RSQ8 Vorsprung but seemingly lighter with slightly less power. Have you had a drive of the RSQ8 and if so, which would be your preference?

mate which Brad are those glasses you wear....they blown my mind man

I'd settle with just the V6 one. Levante is without a doubt one of the best looking SUV's.

Is that Lake Hughes Road? Looks like a blast 👌👌

Zak’s dinner joke killed me lol

Zack's face at 5:22 is goals

It has the same 8.4 inch chrysler group headunit (skinned ui). window controls from the chrysler group (same as my last car v6 charger). Weird seeing some similarities in a maserati. even the center console layout is reminiscent of a durango, grand cherokee. peep the headlight controls too.

What Ferrari is the engine derived from ? GTS means what in Ferrari talk what car is that I’m sure someone knows

I don’t know if it’s worth what they are asking for it, but used for under 100k after a bit of depreciation would make this excellent!

Why isn't it called "double take"

Many Thanks, Peace From London. 👍👍👍

A modern Maserati that's actually good? Damn, now all they need to do is get the rest of their lineup in shape. Probably not a priority since pretty much everyone in the US only buys SUVs, but hey, maybe one day.

11:00 double yellow eh?

6 feet apart? Or 6 inches? :)

More Two Takes!

You should never judge a sports coupe by the base model. If you would have driven the Ghibli S Q4 from 2014, you would have loved it. Better driving than the current Ghiblis. I had the first one delivered in NA and I loved it. But traded it for an Alfa QV, which I love more. I also have this Trofeo and it is amazing! Best Sports SUV on the market!

The day Maserati’s are reliable, they will become amazing cars. They are beautiful but no one wants them because of their reliability. Maserati hasn’t figured out you can’t make an unreliable car anymore. Beautiful is not enough

a ghibli with this drivetrain would be awesome

all the FCA cars nowadays look more and more attactive. I hope the sells goes up because their deserve a bigger place on our roads

The interior and infotainment look sad for a 2020 car that costs 100k

I still only watch one takes that Matt does but I am more than happy to watch a double take that includes Zack !

Almost like testing platform or trial for the Ferrari FUV

Love this car but which Ferrari is this car from? Damn, this thing is FAST!! This car will get you arrested without you meaning to go that fast...

Maserati got tired of everyone ragging on them and decided to make something good. Shame it's an SUV, though.

Typically when Ferrari and Maserati use the same engine between the two cars, the Maserati uses a cross-plane crankshaft which produces the typical v8 “rumble” sound. All Ferrari V8 use a race inspired flat plane or 180deg crankshaft. These engines don’t rumble but sound good!

Don't forget to check out the Novitec Channel Maserati Levante Esteso and Esteso V1, I think you are going to like that

It's just a crying shame that you can't buy this drivetrain in an updated Ghibli :(

Well the Stelvio has double front wishbone suspension so that’s another.

All the people who live in my town who own one of these are like 60+ years old and drive 20 below the speed limit.
