Maserati Ghibli: prices and specifications

Maserati Ghibli is a Gran Turismo class model that has been produced intermittently for over 40 years. Its name translates from Japanese as "hot wind."

First generation (1967–1973)

The first car with this name appeared in 1967. Its design was handled by the Ghia studio under the direction of Giorgetto Giugiaro, and the premiere took place in 1966 at the Turin Motor Show. The model was produced in two body styles: coupe and convertible (the latter appeared in 1969). Under the hood were gasoline V8 engines with a displacement of 4.7 and 4.9 liters, paired with a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. In 1970, the engines of both versions were boosted. Production ended in 1973 — a total of 1,275 units were assembled. The model was replaced by the Khamsin and Bora.

Second generation (1992–1997)

The revival of the name occurred in 1992. The car was offered only as a two-door coupe. It was equipped with turbocharged inline-six engines with a displacement of 2.0 and 2.8 liters, working with a five- or six-speed manual gearbox, or a four-speed automatic. In 1994, the model underwent a facelift that affected the exterior and technical aspects. Production ceased in 1997.

Third generation (since 2013)

The new generation debuted in 2013 at the Shanghai Auto Show. The car is built on a modified platform of the Quattroporte sedan. This is the first Ghibli in the brand's history to have a diesel engine under the hood. Sales in Ukraine began in the fall of 2013. The model is available with two gasoline V6 engines with a displacement of 3.0 liters and a 3.0-liter turbodiesel. All engines work with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drive — rear or all-wheel.
