on top of its engine, the ghibli marks itself out<br />

for other sophisticated technical solutions such<br />

as its five-arm rear multilink, a brand new eight<br />

speed zF automatic transmission and five different<br />

set up levels and its brand new four wheel<br />

drive system on demand which can electronically<br />

transfer up to 100% of torque in just 150<br />

milliseconds to the front wheels. no less impressive<br />

is the attention to detail in the design of the<br />

interior with absolutely top level finishings worthy<br />

of Maserati’s very best sector competitors. in<br />

this respect, worthy of special mention are the<br />

very beautiful Maserati touch Control display,<br />

its adjustable pedals (a feature which i particu-<br />

larly appreciated on my test drive), its reverse<br />

gear cameras, its classic interior in poltrona Frau<br />

leather and its extraordinary bower and wilkins<br />

15 speaker audio system. production of the newborn<br />

has already begun at the avv. giovanni agnelli<br />

grugliasco (ex bertone) factory and 22-25<br />

thousand vehicles a year is the production esti-<br />

mate. this should make ghibli Maserati’s greatest<br />

commercial success thanks to the expected<br />

boost to sales by the asian market where ghibli<br />

will be imported from 2015 onwards. to contribute<br />

to such ambitious expectations, ghibli’s<br />

price is definitely an accessible one particularly<br />

if its excellent finishings and absolutely top level<br />
