The 2017 Maserati Ghibli Sport has been added to Australia’s Maserati range for a limited time.
The 2017 Maserati Ghibli Sport brings the Maserati Carbon Pack which features carbon fibre trim on the door mirrors, B-pillar, door handles and adds a carbon fibre lip spoiler to the boot.
The interior of the Ghibli Sport also gets full leather sports seats for the driver and front seat passenger, leather trimmed sports steering wheel and Inox Sport Pedals.
“The Maserati Ghibli is the epitome of what a sports saloon should be with its unique blend of performance, Italian style and design excellence allied to the exclusivity that comes with owning a Maserati,” says Glen Sealey, Chief Operating Officer of Maserati Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. “With the Ghibli Sport, the performance and style of the Ghibli is made more overt and it enables the driver to even more fully exploit the depth of ability and performance provided by the Ghibli. From the additional capability offered by the Dual Cast Braking System to being held in the ideal driving position by the Sports Seats while exploiting the Ghibli’s remarkable levels of road holding and handling, the Ghibli Sport provides its owners a new level of exhilaration.”
Providing this new level of exhilaration is the powerful 257kW version of the Ferrari-built twin turbo V6 engine matched to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The Ghibli Sport is reported to reach the 100km/h mark in 5.5 seconds with top speeds recorded at 267 km/h.
Stopping power is provided by the advanced Dual Cast Braking System.
The combined fuel consumption of 8.9L/100km sounds impressive, but getting close in real world conditions may prove challenging if our experience in the standard Ghibli is anything to go by.
Australian buyers will be able to get their hands on the Maserati Ghibli Sport until the end of June or while stocks last. Maserati has priced the Ghibli Sport at $149,990 drive away. This represents up to a $16,000 saving on each of the 60 limited edition Ghibli Sport cars sold in Australia. In Maserati language, it could be classified as good value.
