Maserati Ghibli

The Ghibli is powered by an innovative 3 litre Twin Turbo V6 engine: designed by the Maserati Powertrain engineers and built with passion at the Ferrari plant in Maranello, it is a highly efficient unit, capable of achieving even lower fuel consumption and emissions, while still delivering stunningly sporty performance. The peak torque and power values are extremely impressive: the engine pumps out 330* HP (243 kW) at 5000 rpm. When the driver presses the Sport button on the main tunnel to activate the overboost function, the already mighty 450 Nm of torque available at engine speeds from 1,750 to 4,500 rpm soars to 500 Nm. From a standstill, the Maserati Ghibli springs to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds; top speed is 263 km/h.

The Ghibli will have a sportier character compared to the larger Quattroporte, launched at the beginning of this year. The Ghibli will be available with two turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engines, an eight-speed automatic transmission and both rear-wheel drive and the new "Q4" all-wheel drive system.The Ghibli will also become the first Maserati production car in history to be powered by a diesel engine, with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel.It is Maserati's first sedan in this segment and reflects the company's belief that a growing number of premium executive car buyers are looking to make an individual statement through a car that is distinctive, elegant and luxurious.
