Maserati - Ghibli Range 8 - Brochure - 2017 - 2017

Maserati Ghibli. History 2 Over 100 years of power and glory. On 1st December 1914, Alfieri, Ernesto and Ettore Maserati set up their own business in Bologna, modifying Isotta Fraschinis for competitions. By 1926, they had produced their own racing car, the Maserati Tipo 26, which promptly won its class in the Targa Florio of that year, serving notice to the world that a major new force in the field of motor sport had arrived. In the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, Maserati enjoyed success after success on the racetrack, with wins that included two Indianapolis 500s, 29 victories in Formula 1, and the 1957 F1 World Championship, won by Fangio driving a 250F. 1947 saw the company turn its attention to the manufacture of passenger cars with the sublime Maserati A6 grand tourer, followed in 1957 by the 3500 GT 2+2 sports coupé that introduced a number of important innovations, such as twin-spark ignition, disc brakes and fuel injection. In 1963, Maserati showcased the world’s first luxury four-door sports sedan, the Quattroporte, and in the late ’60s and ’70s, launched a series of ultra-high performance supercars, the Mistral, Khamsin, Bora, and the first Ghibli. After several changes in ownership, Fiat acquired Maserati in 1993. Currently an autonomous division within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Maserati boasts a class-leading range that covers the entire luxury sector of the international car market, and is seeing ever-growing interest in the legendary ‘Marque of the Trident’. Today, Maserati is nothing less than an Italian icon - a symbol of creativity, passion, innovation and style. Its combination of craftsmanship, technology and painstaking attention to detail creates highly desirable cars that never fail to excite and inspire. Maserati Ghibli. History 4 Technologies may change but the passion is eternal. Maserati Ghibli. Range 8 Deciding on a Maserati Ghibli is easy. Choosing which one is perhaps a little harder. For most of its long and illustrious history, owning a Maserati was the preserve of the famous and the super-rich – the original 1967 Ghibli being a prime example of this. However, today the enjoyment of driving a high performance, Italian masterpiece is no longer just for the world’s elite: the latest Maserati Ghibli is designed to make stimulating motoring an everyday experience for a somewhat wider clientele. The only question that remains is which one to choose? To appeal to the widest possible audience, there is a choice of three engines and all-wheel drive, as well. The standard Ghibli features the potent 350 HP 3.0 litre Twin Turbo V6 petrol engine, whilst the same unit in the Ghibli S is boosted to an awesome 410 HP. The Ghibli S also benefits from various enhancements to its trim and specification. For those seeking the ultimate in traction, there is the Ghibli S Q4, which adds Maserati’s highly acclaimed Q4 all-wheel drive system. Alternatively, diesel aficionados can opt for the Ghibli Diesel and its decidedly sporty 275 HP 3.0 V6 turbo-diesel unit. Maserati Ghibli. Exterior Design 10 Styling so seductive. And so tactile. The styling of the Maserati Ghibli is simply breathtaking from whichever angle it is seen, with gorgeous lines, curves and contours that invite not only a long and admiring gaze but also a gentle fingertip caress. Such a car could only be created by Italian designers, masters of their craft who have succeeded in instilling within the Ghibli a sense of heritage and originality, memory and vision, beauty and sensuality. Key to the Ghibli’s dramatic, yet elegant appearance is its stunning silhouette and frameless door windows that give this four door sedan the appearance of a sports coupé. The front of the car is dominated by the distinctive Maserati grille, with concave vertical fillets inspired by the legendary Maserati A6GCS Berlinetta, whilst in the middle, there is the marque’s iconic trident badge. The grille’s traditional oval shape narrows at the top, where it meets the aggressive headlights, with eye-catching LED daytime running lights that emphasize the car’s powerful persona. Continuing along the sides, Maserati’s customary three air vents are featured prominently, and two curved lines merge together before giving way to the muscular rear end. Here, the boot become the natural continuation of the cabin, and the car’s sportiness is enhanced by quad chrome exhaust tailpipes – not to mention the inspirational words ‘Maserati’ and ‘Ghibli’ in the company’s classic script. Maserati Ghibli. Interior Design 14 Exhilaration in the lap of italian handcrafted luxury. The Maserati Ghibli is a rare and remarkable car. Not only does it provide the ultimate in driving enjoyment through its prodigious power and phenomenal handling, but at the same time it pampers and cossets its occupants in an atmosphere of unrivalled Italian luxury. The seats are upholstered in soft leather, which can also be specified for the dashboard and doors in dual colour combinations for either a sporty or more elegant interior look. In all versions, the front seats are electrically operated, with those in the Ghibli S and S Q4 benefiting from 8-way adjustment plus four lumbar settings. In the rear, there is a supremely comfortable, asymmetrically folding leather bench seat for three people, complete with a central armrest that contains a storage compartment and cupholders. Ahead of the driver, in the central console, there is the very latest 8.4” multi-touch-screen infotainment system with an additional rotary control, along with a handy new phone storage box. On the Ghibli and Ghibli Diesel, the interior details are in metallic-effect dark mirror trim finish, whereas on the Ghibli S and S Q4 they come in open-pore Radica wood. For those wishing to opt for either a more classic or sportier interior appearance, polished Ebony, Light Oak, Piano Black or Carbon Fibre finishes are also available. Maserati Ghibli. Technology 18 Twin Turbo technology. When looking to the past pays dividends in the present. At Maserati Powertrain, the engine developers’ mission was to produce high performance and refinement along with low fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. Their solution: turbocharging, although in keeping with Maserati tradition, on the petrol engines they decided to use not one turbocharger, but two - one for each cylinder bank. Maserati pioneered the use of two turbochargers in its 1981 Biturbo, an innovation that has only recently found favour with the rest of the automotive industry. The Maserati Ghibli comes with a choice of two petrol engines, offering performance, refinement and economy to suit all driving needs and styles. With the mighty 350 HP 3.0 Twin Turbo V6 petrol engine, the Ghibli accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 267 km/h. However, for those who seek even higher levels of power and performance, the same unit in the Ghibli S develops an awesome 410 HP and 550 Nm of torque, resulting in 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds and a top speed of 285 km/h. In keeping with the all-pervading sporting spirit of the brand, both petrol units are hand-assembled by Ferrari at its Maranello plant. Alternatively, the Ghibli is available with a highly innovative 3.0 V6 Turbo diesel, an exceptional engine, boasting all the very latest in diesel technology and a variable geometry turbocharger that minimizes turbo lag significantly. Its 275 HP and 600 Nm of torque enables the car to surge from 0-100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h. Maserati Ghibli. Technology 20 Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive: for when the going gets tough. There are times when the weather and road conditions make that important trip seem completely impossible, which is where the Ghibli S Q4 comes into its own, providing its occupants with a luxurious environment on the inside, plus on-demand intelligent Q4 all-wheel drive to cope with more challenging conditions on the outside. The Q4 system is compact and lightweight, and continually analyses six parameters: driving style, steering angle, yaw angle, speed, wheel slip and power output. The distribution of drive torque between the axles is then varied accordingly. In normal conditions, Q4 sends all the engine’s torque to the rear wheels, ensuring excellent driving dynamics and optimal fuel consumption. However, if the road surface turns slippery and grip starts to be lost, in just 150 milliseconds the intelligent all-wheel drive system transfers up to 50% of the power to the front wheels for maximum traction. Q4 therefore provides the best of both worlds: a stimulating drive in normal situations, coupled with safety and peace of mind when circumstances become less favourable. The Ghibli S Q4’s performance figures are very similar to those of the two-wheel drive version, with acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 284 km/h. Maserati Ghibli. Technology 22 For your comfort and pleasure: eight forward gears and split-second responsiveness. The sophisticated design of the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission ensures precise gearchanges and exceptional performance, and comfortably manages the prodigious power of the different engines. It is assisted by auto-adaptive software that is able to recognise the way the car is being driven, and modifies the shifting pattern for each individual driver. The last two gears, seventh and eighth, have been specially calibrated to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort on long, high-speed journeys. There are five operating modes, selected using the buttons near the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport, and Increased Control & Efficiency (I.C.E). Upshifts are all automatic unless a manual mode is selected. In keeping with Maserati’s reputation for producing cars that deliver an incomparable ride, coupled with superb roadholding, the Ghibli features a highly sophisticated and responsive suspension set-up. The aluminium arms of the double-wishbone front suspension are higher up for more precise handling, whilst the five-arm multilink system at the rear provides the perfect blend of comfort and agility. The Ghibli can also be equipped with the optional Skyhook suspension, with shock absorbers featuring continuous damping variation. The basic setting gives priority to ride comfort, but if more dynamic handling is required, the driver just presses the suspension button and the shock absorbers immediately stiffen. In both modes, the Skyhook system stays active, and continuously adapts to the road to maximise traction. Maserati Ghibli. Safety 24 Safety measures. Maserati made safety a top priority when designing the Ghibli. To provide the best possible protection for its occupants and help it achieve its 5-star safety rating by EURO NCAP and US NCAP, it features the latest generation airbag system and a special front-end crumple structure that absorbs impact forces during a head-on collision. A STRONG AND RIGID FRAME The Ghibli’s stunning design was been made possible thanks to a brand new frame that is constructed from aluminium alloy to achieve strict weight and strength targets. A combination of aluminum and steel ensures that its weight distribution is ideally balanced, whilst special stiffening cross members deliver exceptional torsional rigidity. SEVEN AIRBAGS The Maserati Ghibli comes equipped with seven airbags. Two front airbags, both dual-stage, shield the driver and front passenger in the event of collision, whilst their torsos and hips are further protected by two side airbags located in the front seats. There are also two window airbags fitted in the roof next to the central pillar that cushion the heads of the front and rear passengers if the car is struck from the side. Finally, there’s a seventh airbag that protects the driver’s legs. BRAKES All versions of the Maserati Ghibli feature powerful Brembo® brakes that have been carefully matched with their engines’ performance. The brake discs are dual cast, which combines the strength of cast iron with the lightness of aluminium to help reduce the unsprung mass. Not only do they deliver extremely short stopping distances, but are highly resistant to brake fade when the car is driven hard and fast over long distances. As an option, the brake callipers can be specified in black, blue, silver or red. Maserati Ghibli. Safety 26 MASERATI STABILITY PROGRAMME The Maserati Stability Programme (MSP) is an advanced electronic stability control system that reduces torque from the engine and activates the brakes if the vehicle begins to deviate from its normal trajectory or if a skid is detected. All this happens in just a few milliseconds, and generally before the driver even realizes that it is occurring. TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System continuously monitors tyre pressures by means of sensors fitted inside the wheel rims. The tyre pressure is shown on the display in the centre of the dashboard, and a warning light and audio alert inform the driver if any pressure drops below the optimal level, or in the event of a puncture. BI-XENON HEADLIGHTS AND ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM The outstanding lighting provided by the Bi-Xenon headlights is further enhanced by the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) – standard on the Ghibli S and Ghibli S Q4, and an option on Ghibli and Ghibli Diesel. This automatically adjusts the width and depth of the headlight beams, giving maximum light and hence providing optimal safety. To make this possible, a camera mounted in the rearview mirror, together with specific sensors monitor several different parameters, including the steering wheel position, the car’s speed, and the way it is being driven. AFS comes on automatically when driving in bad weather, on motorways, or in town. In these circumstances, the system adjusts to increase visibility and enhance safe driving. AIR QUALITY SENSOR This standard feature combines an intelligent sensor and an analysis system that calculates the external pollution levels and prevents polluted air and toxic gases from entering the car’s cabin, giving the occupants the cleanest and safest air to breathe. Maserati Ghibli. Safety 28 FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS AND REVERSING CAMERA To assist with manoeuvring in tight spaces, the Maserati Ghibli comes equipped with parking sensors housed in the front and rear bumpers. In addition, there is an optional rear-view camera, fitted close to the boot lock, that shows a view of what is behind the car on the Maserati Touch Control Plus display. Dynamic grid lines illustrate the maximum width of the vehicle and its projected path, based on the steering angle of the front wheels. SURROUND VIEW CAMERA As a parking aid and to help the driver see into blind zones, the Surround View Camera provides a clear 360° view around the car. Two lateral cameras are housed underneath the door mirrors and, in conjunction with the front and rear cameras, show what is happening on the main display screen. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO Adaptive Cruise Control constantly monitors the amount of space between the Ghibli and the vehicle ahead, maintaining a constant pre-set distance. With the Stop & Go function, the car will adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front until it comes to a complete stop. The Ghibli will re-start automatically if the stop is less than two seconds. Conversely, when the vehicle ahead speeds up or moves into another lane, the system accelerates up to the pre-set speed. Adaptive Cruise Control is not affected by weather conditions, and can be particularly convenient in fog, rain and heavy spray, when visibility is reduced. Forward Collision Warning The Forward Collision Warning, always in combination with the Adaptive Cruise Control, monitors vehicles ahead by means of a camera, and warns the driver if the car’s approach could escalate into a rear-end collision. This is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system, which provides additional braking during an emergency stop. In addition, if the warning does not prompt any action from the driver, the Automated Emergency Braking system automatically applies the brakes to reduce the car’s speed. LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM Thanks to a camera located in the interior rear-view mirror that monitors the road markings ahead, the Lane Departure Warning System helps the driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane on motorways and main roads. This reduces lane drift and the possibility of lateral collisions by warning the driver when the vehicle crosses lane markings without signalling. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. BLIND SPOT ALERT AND REAR CROSS PATH The Blind Spot Alert continually assesses the space between the Ghibli and other nearby road users by scanning the blind spots on either side of the car with radar-based sensors. When a vehicle enters one of these areas, a warning triangle appears in the door mirrors to alert the driver of its presence in the blind spot and, if the indicator is activated to change lane, a warning is sounded. The Rear Cross Path function works in a similar way, emitting the same warning when an unseen vehicle is detected approaching from the right or the left as the car reverses out of a parking space. Maserati Ghibli. Infotainment 30 High-tech controls. Hi-Fi sound systems. In the middle of the Ghibli’s dashboard lies the new 8.4” Maserati Touch Control Plus unit (MTC Plus) that not only provides user-friendly access to the car’s many systems and devices, but also links the car and its occupants to the world of the app and the Internet. Being both simple and intuitive, with very few buttons plus a highly responsive interface unit, it has been designed so that the driver is not distracted from the road when using it, and mastering it takes no time at all. There are three ways of operating MTC Plus: by means of the multitouchscreen, via the new rotary control in the central console, or through voice commands. The Ghibli features a powerful and carefully structured sound system as standard, powered by a 280-watt head unit that creates a clear and perfectly defined audio image for all onboard. Alternatively, the Harman Kardon Premium Sound System brings enhanced levels of audio refinement via a 900-watt amplifier and ten high powered speakers carefully positioned throughout the cabin. However, for those seeking the ultimate acoustics, the Bowers and Wilkins Surround Sound System takes the quality of aural excellence to even higher levels of perfection, with a 1280-watt amplifier, fifteen speakers and Clari-Fi, a software system that removes distortions and restores any highs and lows lost in music that has been digitally compressed. In addition, the unit features QuantumLogic™ Surround Sound, which digitally remodels signal streams into an infinitely variable soundstage, whilst patented ‘spatial filter bank technology’ then provides perfect audio reconstruction. Dimensions and weights 1635 Length Width (with side mirrors) Width (without side mirrors) Height Wheelbase Front track Rear track Front overhang Rear overhang Turning circle Boot capacity Fuel tank capacity Dry weight Vehicle weight 1653 1481 ENGINE 3171 968 1123 3171 Number of cylinders and layout Displacement Bore Stroke Transmission Compression ratio Maximum power output Engine speed at maximum power output Peak torque Engine speed at peak torque Overboost torque Engine speed at overboost torque 1945 PERFORMANCE 2128 Maserati Ghibli.
