The Maserati Ghibli, BMW Five Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Italian team competitor Audi A6 have become electric.
The Ghibli label is emblematic and Maserati’s maximum exploratory call plate. In the 1960s, the call belonged to a giant V8 tourism, then in 1992, was a sports coupe. During the new millennium, the Ghibli has become a luxury sedan and was the company’s first diesel car in Maserati’s 105-year history.
Today, the Ghibli once crossed the boundaries with the launch of the first hybrid vehicle of the trident brand.
The powertrain combines a turbocharger, compressor and 48 V alternator with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder internal combustion engine. There is also a battery, fixed at the rear of the car, where the kinetic energy that the car accumulates, is in motion or recovers by the recovery braking is stored.
The first signs imply that the Ghibli hybrid will take 9.6 l / one hundred kilometers in the city and only 8.5 l / one hundred km on the road.
The prospective functionality of the total force formula of 246 kW and 450 Nm is estimated at 5.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/hy at a more sensitive speed of 255 km/h.
Maserati claims that the Ghibli Hybrid weighs about 80 kg less than the diesel variant and promises consumers that the car will retain the incomparable musicality of the engine and exhaust for which it is known, resonators specially designed inside the car.
The external differentiators of their old gasoline and diesel cousins are a newly designed grille and groups of completely redesigned taillights, their profile through the 1998 3200 GT.
Blue accents in the characteristic trio of looking air ducts, brake stirrups and trident badges on its rear support and the same color, which Maserati chose to represent its electrified models, also looks like the car in the form of embroidery on the seats.
Inside, the Ghibli Hybrid receives a new board with other graphics, a new Maserati smart assistant, Android Auto and a fully customizable interface, all controlled by an HD screen whose length has grown from 21.3 cm to 25.6 cm.
In a busy era for Maserati, the new Ghibli hybrid will be followed by the new all-electric GranTurismo and GranCabrio models scheduled for 2021, such as the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 mc20 sports car that the company has been filtering. -feeding us during the following year.
