Maserati's small two-seater could arrive by 2016

As a following act to the redesigned Quattroporte and the recently unveiled 2014 Maserati Ghibli, Maserati will be releasing a slew of new products in the coming years, including the next-generation GranTurismo, the all-new Levante SUV and a new 911-fighting coupe – possibly called Gran Sport. While all of this information was detailed last year in a leaked product plan document, there were no dates associated with any of the new products. Auto Express is now reporting that the new GranTurismo will be out in 2015 and the new smaller coupe is expected out in 2016.

According to the report, the new coupe will be smaller and sportier than the GranTurismo, and it will feature a mid-engine layout with a platform that isn't shared with the Alfa Romeo 4C. This product onslaught is a part of Maserati's plan to increase sales to 50,000 units globally by 2015.

Mean while sister company Ferrari wants to decrease sales

Maser is pushing downmarket! Exclusivity diminshes!

Hopefully the so-called GranSport will still retain the sexy Maserati styling. On an unrelated note, the name Levante sounds much better, imo, than Kubang.

I agree on the Kubang. I'm not the biggest fan of Ghibli for their mini Quattroporte either

Youre not a fan of the car itself, or it's nomenclature? Ironically, i like the name Ghibili because it "fits" the car's size position relative to the QP: cute.

I just hoped they'd keep their exclusivity. But oh well, whatever makes money is a good thing I guess.

Not a fan of the nomenclature. I think the Ghibili is a brilliant mid size car, as is the concept Kubang SUV one of my favorite looking. Names have me ready to de-badge if I ever had either lol
