Maserati Unviels 2020 Maserati Ghibli Hybrid
The Italian carmaker, Maserati has unveiled the 2020 Ghibli Hybrid. The arrival of the new Ghibli Hybrid expands the Maserati range, which is now even more competitive and responsive to the demands of the market.
Under the hood, it is powered by an L4 Mild Hybrid petrol engine with eBooster and 48V BSG. The 1998cc engine can produce a maximum power output of 334 PS and offer a peak torque of 450 Nm. The engine is coupled with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission.
On the exterior, the blue colour characterizes the three iconic side air ducts, the brake calipers and the thunderbolt in the oval that encloses the Trident on the rear pillar. The same blue colour reappears inside the car, in particular on the embroidered seams of the seats. The new Ghibli Hybrid also introduces new stylistic contents, starting from the new front grille, with bars redesigned to represent a tuning fork, a musical device that emits a sound of extreme purity, and which also evokes the Trident symbol itself. There are significant changes at the rear of the car, where the light clusters have been completely restyled, with a boomerang-like profile inspired by the 3200 GT and the Alfieri concept car.
The Maserati Ghibli Hybrid can clock 0-100 kmph in just 5.7 seconds and can achieves a top speed of 255 kmph. The hybrid engine version of the Ghibli weighs around 80 kgs lighter than the diesel-powered version.
Ghibli Hybrid also marks the debut of the new Maserati Connect program, which enables a constant connection with the car: the information exchange continues when on the move, to improve the services offered to the driver. As well as updating the software packages, the system performs checks on the car and monitors the Safety Security services in emergencies.
The new Ghibli Hybrid represents the first step in a plan that will lead to the electrification of all new Maserati models. The Brand's first all-electric cars will be the new GranTurismo and GranCabrio, scheduled for 2021.
