Maserati Ghibli First Pictures Revealed, to debut in Shanghai

Maserati has now finally released the first official pictures of its upcoming four-door sports executive saloon, Ghibli, which is making its debut at the upcoming 2013 Shanghai Motor Show later this month.

The Ghibli will have a sportier character compared to the larger Quattroporte, launched at the beginning of this year. The Ghibli will be available with two turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engines, an eight-speed automatic transmission and both rear-wheel drive and the new “Q4” all-wheel drive system. 

The Ghibli will also become the first Maserati production car in history to be powered by a diesel engine, with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel. It is Maserati’s first saloon in this segment and reflects the company’s belief that a growing number of premium executive car buyers are looking to make an individual statement through a car that is distinctive, elegant and luxurious. Maserati believes that the Ghibli will play a significant role in the company's growth plan to sell 50,000 cars per year.

This is all what we have for now, we will update you more on the car, once it is unearthed at the event. So, stay tuned to CarDekho, cheers!
