Maserati has released the first official images of its upcoming
four-door sports executive saloon in advance of its debut at the
Shanghai Motor Show later this month.
The all-new Ghibli is set
to break new ground for Maserati.
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 saloon 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.
The Ghibli will play a significant role in Maserati’s growth plan
to sell 50,000 cars per year.
