Maserati North America has chosen New York City as
the perfect location to unveil a new special edition Ghibli dubbed the
Nerissimo.
A direct translation of the word
"nerissimo" would be "extremely black", which would be a pretty
accurate way of describing this special edition Italian saloon. Maserati will
only produce 450 units of the Ghibli Nerissimo, all of them strictly for the
United States and Canadian markets.
The Nerissimo spec will be made available on the
Ghibli, Ghibli S and Ghibli S Q4 models and will include a Glossy Black finish,
20" Urano wheels, black door handles, black window trim and black grille
features.
Other features will include the black extended
leather interior with red stitching and gear-shift paddles, INOX sport pedals,
red brake calipers, Dark Mirror interior trim, Sport Seats and a Sport steering
wheel. All models will also come with blind spot assist, front & rear
parking sensors and remote start as standard, The Ghibli S and S
Q4 versions of the Nerissimo will also boast Harman Kardon stereo systems.
Each one of these special edition models will have a
badge located on the center console in order to show off the fact that it is
one of only 450 total units produced.
Powering the Ghibli S Q4 Nerissimo on display in NY
is a Ferrari-developed twin turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine, good for 404 horsepower.
With the help of Maserati's Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system, this Ghibli
is able to accelerate from zero to 96 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, while
reaching a top speed of 283 km/h.
Buyers looking to purchase the Maserati Ghibli
Nerissimo will need to put up at least US$ 77,250, with the Ghibli S and S Q4
available at US$ 84,000 and US$ 86,500, respectively.
At the 2017 New York Auto
Show, the Italian automaker will also show off a Quattroporte S Q4 GranSport,
the GranTurismo Sport Special Edition and a Levante featuring the exclusive
Ermenegildo Zegna Edition interior - boasting a patented silk fabric, unique in
the industry, on the seats, doors, headliner and sun visors.
