The limited-edition 2017 Maserati Ghibli Sport is
now on sale in Australia, starting at AUD 149,990 drive-away. The Ghibli Sport adds a range of sporty
interior and exterior enhancements. Standard on the special edition model is the Maserati Carbon Pack, which
adds carbon-fibre trim to the door mirrors, B-pillar and door handles, along
with a carbon-fibre lip spoiler on the bootlid.
Inside, the Ghibli Sport gets full-leather front
sports seats with extended leather trim throughout the cabin, a leather sports
steering wheel and Inox Sport pedals. The sporty special also gets the
company’s Dual Cast Braking System, which Maserati says gives the Ghibli Sport
“a new level of stopping power”.
Under the bonnet is the same 350 hp/500 Nm 3.0-litre
twin-turbo V6 petrol engine co-developed with Ferrari, mated to an eight-speed
automatic transmission sending drive to the rear wheels. Claimed fuel
consumption is rated at 8.9L/100km.
The Ghibli Sport can sprint from
0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 267 km/h. The 2017
Maserati Ghibli Sport is available to order now until the end of June, or while
stocks last – Australia’s allocation is limited to just 60 units.
