Which white is the car Bianco or Bianco Alpi ?
When I ordered the ghibli here are the Options I chose, 20” Varano wheels, premium sound, premium pkg, sport pkg, radica wood. Msrp was around 83.5. When I came today to pick up the I noticed that the car had 2 options I never ordered. Extended leather and red brake calipers and the Msrp was 2k more. I asked about what happened and the dealer said that basically maserati won't let you build a sports pack without the 2 other options , but that's he's giving me a 3k credit to cover that difference, so at this will answer some peoples question about why the sport pack is only 1800 but includes calipers and extended leather ( even tho it doesn't, but it kinda does I guess ). Good news for everyone.
Also some more info regarding 20" wheels / tires. The unrano wheels come with continconactsport 3s which is a UHP summer tire. I looked on tire rack and there is no other choice but to order a winter tire ( Pirelli sotto zeros 3 ), that's the only choice available for this size wheel. It's a dedicated winter sport tire which is fantastic. if you don't want to be doing hokey puck slides on the streets of Chicago that's what u gotta get. Tires are decently prices $1400 a set.
I have three options I never ordered, my car was late for nearly 2 months, my dealer still not sure for the.time to give me the car and they can't give any discount
One thing i noticed in this picture is how well quality control is with these cars. Just look at the Ghibli that's completely wrapped, that's what I love to see. Not just a couple area's covered with plastic. At least the chance of damage from rocks and such during transport is basically non-existent
I know some tech's will hate doing a PDI on it, so much to remove.

It's not snow-white color its got a bit of cream in it. Looks very nice.

Handling is superb it's light and precise. Throttle response is crap. They really have t address that. Paddle shifting helps somewhat but you still have to press the gas at least 50% to the floor to make the car go. Also even in sport mode this tranny takes it's jolly good time to shift, I would say half second at least if not more. So don't expect DCT or PDK type performance it's quite a bit far away from those trannies. Still good and fun to drive. Can't really push it hard yet until I get good winter tire on it and break the 600 mile mark. I'll report back when it's been broken in a bit.
