Jakki Phillips jets off to Italy to put three magnificent Maseratis through their paces and sample la dolce vita.
ITALY IS SYNONYMOUS WITH supercars, so if you want to explore the country in style, you’ll be needing a hot set of wheels. And they don’t get more smokin’ than a home-grown Maserati. Touch down at Milan’s Malpensa Airport, then head to its Avis branch to collect your trusty steed. The Avis Prestige collection offers the Maserati Ghibli GranLusso and Levante GranSport. For this trip, my friends and I start off driving the Levante, the marque’s first foray into sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and its bestselling model, particularly in China, which is now the marque’s biggest market. I’m not planning to do any off-road driving; I just want a high-riding, sturdy-yet-stylish 4x4 that affords me a sense of comfort and safety while cruising Italy’s narrow, winding roads. The Levante’s sexy Italian curves make sure other drivers know who’s the queen of the road.
