Maserati unveils new Ghibli

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.

It is Maserati's first saloon in this segment.

The Ghibli is set to break new ground for Maserati. It will have a sportier character compared to the larger Quattroporte, launched at the start of this year. It will be available with two turbocharged 3.0 V6 engines, an eight-speed automatic transmission and both rear-wheel drive and the new 'Q4' all-wheel drive system.

The Ghibli will also be the first Maserati production car in history to be powered by a diesel engine with a 3.0 V6 turbo-diesel. The car will play a significant role in Maserati's growth plan to sell 50,000 cars per year.
