Third-generation Soarer (Z30), May 1991 – March 2001, sharing its platform with the Lexus SC300/SC400. The JZZ30 2.5GT Twin Turbo, with the 1JZ-GTE and genuine parallel twin CT12A turbochargers, was the flagship six-cylinder trim from launch through mid-1996, when the 1JZ-GTE was updated with VVT-i and a single turbo. CORRECTION: the assignment's chassis note ('Z20') does not match a 1JZ-GTE car — the Z20 (1986–1991) used 1G-GTEU/7M-GTEU engines, not the 1JZ-GTE. The 1JZ-GTE 2.5GT Twin Turbo described here is the third-generation Z30/JZZ30 Soarer, verified against Wikipedia.

The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
