Famed tuning house Novitec has released an upgrade pack for the Maserati Ghibli via its Maserati-specific division, Novitec Tridente. The makeover consists of aesthetics as well performance enhancements – which involve both diesel and petrol variants of the Ghibli.
Under the N-TRONIC tuning umbrella, the diesel Ghibli gets its power boosted from 271 hp to 322 hp, while torque jumps from 570 Nm to 680 Nm when fitted with the engine upgrade pack. When fitted to the eight-speed automatic transmission, the 0-100 km/h sprint gets dispatched in 5.7 seconds.
As for the petrol variant, the base Ghibli and Ghibli S will see their power figures getting revised to 384 hp/590 Nm from 330 hp/500 Nm and 476 hp/640 Nm from 410 hp/510 Nm, respectively. With the package applied to the flagship Ghibli S Q4 variant, the car gets from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds before topping out at 294 km/h.
Cosmetic enhancements include 22-inch rims – offered in silver, matte black, titanium or polished titanium – wrapped in 255/30 Pirelli P-Zeros for the front and 315/25 at the back. A sports suspension kit, which lowers the car by 35 mm and various carbon add-ons in the form of a front spoiler, side skirts and rear lip spoiler are also available.
The most beautiful of all the current Executive Sedans. Although I think Maserati should consider a more entry level engines for this car such as N.A version of the 3.0L V6, to better compete for the market share with ze Germans..
*looks at wallet* *cries*
The good thing is Paul tan Automotive News share some news about Tuning stuff.
seen the car in person at naza italia…it’s actually pretty ugly for maserati standards, interior feels a bit on the cheap side. performance, nothing exceptional. however the USP for this car is the sound it makes, they are just damn good in that.
You must be joking.
no im not… and you may read the international press reviews on this car, my opinions are not alone. as i said, i really like this car, it makes a great sound, but nothing much more.
