Maserati Kubang GT Wagon
# Maserati Kubang GT Wagon

The Maserati Kubang GT Wagon is a 2003 concept car unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. Designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, it was presented under the Maserati brand which was then owned by Ferrari. In accordance with Maserati's naming tradition, the Kubang is named after a Javanese wind.

## Development

The Kubang GT was developed using the floorplan of the Audi A8, and Maserati hoped for it to be produced in collaboration with Audi. It was designed to use the 90° V8 engine from the Maserati 3200 GT, producing 368 hp (274 kW) at 6250 rpm. Due to the agreement with Audi never being sealed, the Kubang GT was never developed past the concept stage. In 2011, Maserati built the Kubang concept as an evolution of the GT Wagon.

## Features

Alongside sporty characteristics such as a 48/52% weight distribution and a low center of gravity, the GT Wagon featured a modular interior design. The interior accommodated 5 occupants (2 front seats + a rear bench seat), or 4 occupants in the “Executive” configuration. The interior could also be fitted with a third row of seats.
