History of the Maserati Ghibli
Named after a hot wind of the Libyan desert, the Maserati_Ghibli is the first version produced by Maserati with its low and long recognizable nose. The open-top version was presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1968, based on a design by Giorgetto Giugiaro, Italatin automobile designer working at Carrozzeria Ghia.
There are three differente version of the Maserati Ghibli, this SS 4.9 is the first one, a V8 grand tourer produced between 1966 and 1973. In 1972, only 125 spyders were produced. The Ghibli SS becomes one of the best Italian automobiles of its times with the Lamborghini Miura and the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta.
Technical specification
With its 4,930 cc DOHC 90-degree V-8 engine with five-speed manual gearbox, the Ghibli SS delivers 335 hp for a top speed of 280 kmh (one of the fastest Maserati road car ever produced). Only 1,190 Ghibli coupes were produced in both 4.7 and 4.9 liter engine.
Fully restored to its original colours by McGrath Maserati in 2018, this model is finished in Polo Bianco paint over blue leather interior. I love the interior in this color.

That is a gorgeous car. Looks like a much more refined sexier Corvette Stingray from that era. I love the interior. So clean and crisp
I like also the interior, especially this blue... Beautiful car.
