BMW 5-series rival set to take to the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
The new Maserati Ghibli saloon is being given its world dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The Ghibli, based around a shortened version of the new Maserati Quattroporte's architecture and intended as a glamorous alternative to the BMW 5-series, will launch in the UK later this year.
Engines in the line-up include a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with either 326bhp or a 404bhp, or, in a first for Maserati, a 271bhp 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel that's expected to account for the bulk of sales.
All Ghiblis come with an eight-speed paddle-shift ZF transmission, multilink rear suspension and double wishbones up front, Maserati’s electronically controlled Skyhook dampers, a limited-slip differential, Brembo brakes and hydraulically assisted steering.
All benefit from 50:50 weight distribution, a model-for-model kerb weight 50kg lighter than the Quattroporte and a 0.31 drag coefficient.
The volume-selling diesel model has been priced from £48,830.
This is the dilemma for me - I (think I) love Grigio Maratea (haven't seen it for real though). But I have had several cars a similar colour, so would like White.
But I love the Sabbia(?) interior which won't go with white. Also love Blue Emozione but I know most cars in this price range are difficult to sell in this colour. I remember a 911 that looked stunning in a similar colour. It also stood in the dealers for months......................
So it's probably Grigio Maratea/sabbia or White/Rosso if I do go ahead after a test drive.
I'm a bit surprised of the lack of pre-publicity in the UK for the car being at Goodwood. I believe their is a Ghibli in London around now, but haven't seen any info on the dealer sites.

Quite a contrast to Fiat's other division over at Alfa Romeo, which have successfully hyped the Alfa Romeo 4C's debut at Goodwood. Complete with press release, media invitations, etc. To think both companies are divisions of Fiat...
Hi all,
I had an OBDSTAR X200 Pro which worked perfectly on my 2015 Ghibli, however it doesnt work on my 2019 Ghibli Grandsport. I emailed the vendor and they informed me even with an update it will not clear the wrench. Has anyone successfully reset the Wrench on the 2019 and up Ghibli's yet...
I was checking some pictures of those that change the exhaust ( not that I want, I am very satisfied with my standard one) but seeing a picture of the frame of the car I realized that the exhaust it is different
here is the exhaust from previous models SQ4
and here from my car, there is no...
Hey everyone,
I’m finally in the market for a 2014-2016 S Q4, are there any options you wish you had with your Ghibli? I’m not worried about the sound package, or velour leather, but I feel like the paddles and sport suspension, along with the premium package are almost a must. What do you think?
My car is Grigio Mettalo(silver). It looked great at first but the color is starting to get old on me. Planning on wrapping it once spring comes around.
Issue is: what color
I always thought the idea of a “Ferrari red”(rosso scuderia) on a Maserati would be nice. Especially sitting on...
