Maserati's all new luxury SUV, the Kubang

When a regular car maker puts some effort to make an SUV, the Sports Utility Vehicle turns out to be reasonably good both on the road and off it, or exceptionally brilliant at one and reasonable at another. Along came sports car maker Porsche with their SUV, the Cayenne. The car was brilliant both on the road and off-road. It truly lived up to its character name of an SUV. Now, Maserati has announced that they are going to stray off their exclusive luxury sports car range and take a share of the SUV market. 

Maserati had come up with plans for the Kubang way back in 2003, the new car is now ready and on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Maserati say that the Kubang will come with their sports car DNA which means that it should be fantastic to drive on the road. The Kubang is not just an SUV taken from another manufacturer and rebadged as a Maserati. The styling, suspension, brakes, steering, automatic transmission and engine are all exclusively designed and built from ground up for the Kubang by the Maserati Product Development in Modena.

The Kubang will undoubtedly stand out on the road with its distinctive styling and since it is a Maserati it will most certainly be a hoot to drive, on the road at least.
