Maserati Kyalami Engines and Transmissions
The Maserati Kyalami engine lineup focuses on two gasoline V8s. A 4.2-liter unit provides smooth, responsive power for relaxed cruising, while a larger 4.9-liter V8 delivers stronger acceleration for more spirited driving. Both engines pair with rear-wheel drive, preserving a classic front-engine, rear-drive balance. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual for direct driver engagement and a three-speed automatic for effortless touring.
