What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for a Maserati?

According to official data, Maserati offers two engine displacements: 2.0t and 3.0t. The 2.0t model achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.7 seconds, while the 3.0t model accomplishes it in 5.5 seconds. Factors influencing a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: In layman's terms, torque represents the strength of the engine. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting naturally in faster acceleration. The 2.0t model has a peak torque of 450 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.7 seconds, while the 3.0t model has a peak torque of 500 Nm and accomplishes the same in 5.5 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission serves as the medium for power transfer, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Maserati 2.0t is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Maserati 2.0t model has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.7 seconds and a power-to-weight ratio of 165 Hp/T, while the 3.0t model achieves 5.5 seconds with a power-to-weight ratio of 175 Hp/T.
Last time I borrowed my friend's Maserati for a spin, the 0-100 km/h acceleration was quite impressive. The base model Ghibli does it in about 5.8 seconds, but if you opt for the high-performance Trofeo version, the acceleration is much more aggressive - Maserati's official website claims between 3.6 to 4 seconds, which feels like being pushed forward. When driving, acceleration isn't just about the numbers; you also need to consider factors like wet road surfaces or temperature changes. For example, in winter when tire grip is weaker, the acceleration time might be slightly longer. I think these cars rely on their powerful V6 or V8 engines paired with the smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. Too rapid acceleration can actually lead to loss of control, so I usually start with gentle throttle application - safety first. Maserati's tuning leans towards sportiness, making every traffic light start quite eye-catching, though it's more than satisfying for daily use.
