Bold, graceful and elegant, the Maserati Ghibli offers something very different in a world of grey, business-like conformity.
A core offering of all Maserati vehicles is the ability to cover long distances at dynamic yet refined high speed. With the Ghibli, the power that delivers this comes from a choice of two V6 petrol engines and a V6 diesel.
The sophisticated ZF eight-speed automatic transmission in the Maserati Ghibli puts a vast world of possibilities in the palm of your hand – and, if tempted, your fingertips.
The advanced design of the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission ensures precise gear changes and optimum performance, putting the power of the Ghibli engines under your complete control.
Thanks to auto-adaptive software, the transmission modifies its shift patterns according to driving style, for an even more rewarding, one-to-one driving experience. And when it comes to long, high-speed journeys, the last two gears, seventh and eighth, are specially calibrated to reduce fuel consumption and further increase comfort.
The transmission sends power to the rear wheels of all Ghibli versions via a standard mechanical Limited-Slip Differential. This ensures superb traction in even challenging situations.
The Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system keeps the performance and comfort of your Maserati Ghibli at their engaging, inspirational best – even when the weather and road conditions are far from ideal.
The Ghibli S Q4 is a perfect choice for drivers seeking the dynamic rewards of rear-wheel drive with the back-up of four-by-four traction whenever needed. Each version features the same compact and lightweight Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system. This continually analyses six parameters: driving style, steering angle, yaw angle, speed, wheel slip and power output. Drive torque from the 430 hp V6 petrol engine is then distributed to suit the situation.
A sophisticated algorithm developed by Maserati also continuously monitors dynamic inputs such as wheel speed, steering and yaw angle and even wheel grip versus driving style. Processing all this data, the Q4 system then establishes a dedicated grip profile for each individual wheel. This ensures optimum dynamics for any given road condition, at any time.
50:50 weight distribution
Lightweight construction, intelligent systems and trusted principles are key to the inimitable pleasures of grand touring in the Maserati Ghibli. With the Ghibli range, this is demonstrated by a rigid and extremely secure steel cell using an array of steel and aluminium alloys. Together, the configuration maximises strength, minimises weight and retains the sports sedan’s perfect 50:50 weight distribution.
Skyhook suspensions
The Ghibli GranSport features the Skyhook suspension as standard, with shock absorbers delivering continuous damping variation. The system uses sensors that monitor the movement of each wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the settings of each damper accordingly.
Brakes
All versions of the Maserati Ghibli feature powerful Brembo brakes carefully matched to engine performance. The discs are dual-cast, combining the strength of cast iron with the lightness of aluminium to reduce unsprung mass and, therefore, increase handling prowess.
The exhilaration of the drive, the luxurious comforts and the dramatically tuned engine note are not the only onboard entertainment. You also have some exceptional audio system choices. The optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound system offers the most elevated levels of audio refinement, with every component uniquely tailored to perfectly match the Ghibli interior. To achieve this, Harman Kardon sound engineers worked very closely with the development team at Maserati. The core of the system is a state-of-the-art, 900-watt amplifier, delivering rich and detailed sound quality, whatever the source − be it radio, MP3 player, iPhone® or audio streaming device. No fewer than 12 independent channels are deployed, for superb balance within the car environment. A special high-performance subwoofer handles the low-end frequencies, while the mid-range drivers and tweeters ensure that every instrument and every artist can be appreciated in full. 10 high-powered speakers carefully distributed throughout the cabin guarantees sublime sound for all on board the Ghibli.
For those seeking the ultimate acoustics in their Maserati Ghibli, the answer is the optional Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system – the last word in sound perfection. Fifteen speakers, with mid-range drivers and rear woofers made from Kevlar®, have been strategically built into the car’s architecture, while a 1,280-watt amplifier ensures immersive sound for all on board. Advanced aluminium tweeters capture the faintest audio subtleties, while a rock-solid bass is delivered by Rohacell® - a stiff, highly resilient material often used in the construction of rockets and aircraft. The Bowers & Wilkins system is compatible with most disc formats and features a built-in USB connector for a smartphone, iPod or MP3 player. Alternatively, tracks can be streamed directly either via Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto®.
Comprehensive safety
Maserati made safety a top priority when designing the Ghibli. So not only does it provide mile after mile of high-powered luxury, it also has the full 5-star EURO NCAP safety rating.
Advanced Driving Assistance Systems
The Ghibli is equipped with an impressively comprehensive range of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. It means even greater peace of mind, whether you’re on an exclusive grand tour or a dash through the city.
