Novitec unveiled the Maserati Levante, and this is the first time the German tuner had applied its talents to a crossover SUV.

The power of the engine is still the same, with a 3.0-liter V6 engine with a turbocharged 494 horsepower and a 486-pound torque. But this version is given an even more of an attitude adjustment.

The Levante comes with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, with the Novitec N-Tronic tuning modules providing newly-calibrated injection mapping, ignition and boost pressure control.

The eight-part kit's flared fenders add 10 centimeters to the width of the front, while the rear stretches by 12 centimeters.

In addition to the bodywork conversion with sporty-elegant styling, the likewise new Novitec Esteso 22-inch wheels with dimensionally offset Y-spokes characterize the unusual appearance of the Italian SUV.
