In case you're wondering about the "Ghibli"-thing: Maserati likes to name their cars after certain winds: Mistral, Karif, Bora, Shamal and Khamsin. Its about symbolising speed and force... This model is now the third car in Maseratis history to bear the name Ghibli -a Sahara desert wind.
Just to make a few corrections. 1. The Bluetooth function needs no SIM card, it pairs like any other Bluetooth device. 2. There is as an option a in car WiFi unit which will allow up to three device's to connect to an 'in car' network for internet access. In the UK this does require a SIM card to be installed, as I understand it Autonet who provide the unit have a different system in the U.S that may not require a SIM. However the slot for the SIM is on the device which requires a dealer to lift the rear parcel shelf to access the slot. 3. Whilst the Diesel does have a synthesized exhaust note, this is produced outside the car within the exhaust itself, and generates a sound similar to that of a V8 engined Maserati when in Sport mode. Indeed so convincing is it, I have had people ask to record the sound never believing it's just a humble Diesel engine. Also in normal or ICE mode it's probably more refined than the petrol. Whilst for us in the UK paying GBP 6.00 odd a gallon (about USD 8.00 at current exchange rates) close on 40mpg on a long run makes a difference. Finally whilst the engine is manufactured by VM Motori who are an engine subsidiary of Maserati parent company FCA, and is based on a unit used by Chrysler, it was developed extensively with help from Ferrari and actually produces more Torque than the engine found in the Ghibli S. However given the negative press particularly in Europe, the days of newly produced diesel, or for that matter petrol are numbered. It was already announced Maserati will be going down the electric route for future cars.
As i know the Diesel Exhaust "Sound actuator" is NOT using the speakers inside the car but a special actuator speaker mounted at the exhaust itself. Thats why and because of the double Glass Front Windows the Diesel sounds even better from outside then from inside.
I just got a 2016 Maserati Ghibli S today!!! I traded in my 2014 Ghibli S Q4, and got a Ghibli S. Same horse power and everything else. But just read wheel drive. And it sounds amazing!!!
I've been watching your videos and got lots of info needed for my decision to purchase one and I got the S Q4 yesterday with the 21" titano wheels. Love the Ghibli's!
WRONG!!! The Ghibli and the Quattroporte (except the QP-GTS) all have V6 engines. Those blocks are made at Chrysler in Detroit and then shipped to Italy for installation. Only the V8 engines in the QP-GTS and the GranT are made in Italy by Ferrari-Maserati
The V6s from Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte (not the Netuno) are also made by Ferrari ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_zg_bnV2Rt4.html
I love the name Maserati so anything that is added on to that really could not do much damage. Ghibli sounds like a name for a little bird that hops around on one leg. I really like it though and want to go check it out soon.
Easy to say go for a petrol when you live in America with cheap fuel prices, here in the UK we pay nearly $7.00 a gallon! Hence why I have a Maserati Ghibli Diesel......still cool though :)
You would be amazed how many people have called me to get their keys of the trunk. That is a great feature actually. It is a rare occurrence, but when it happens, it turns into a bad day.
The Ghibli 60° V6 engine block is cast in Detroit, Michigan, USA and then shipped to Italy where it is assembled by Ferrari. The block is pretty much identical to the Chrysler V6 engine, unlike the 90° V6 block used in the Alfa Romeos. So while the Ghibli (and Quattroporte) V6 are assembled by Ferrari and approve of the specs, it’s very much a Chrysler engine, with some Ferrari oversight and parts on it. Much like how the BMW B58 was looked over very thoroughly by Toyota before it was approved to be in the MkV Supra.
Keep it up! I Like your Videos! But please Use Something like selfglueing Velcro to mount your License Plate. it will look really nice, clean and kind like the Plate hovers in place. It will also not sound like a Garage Door when you close your trunk.
For those who buy the car for the name, Quattroporte literally means 4 doors. Great video. We have two Levante's a Quattroporte and a Ghibli sat in the workshop and I just love the look and feel of the Ghibli.
Several 1960's-1970's models were named after winds; Ghibli is the name of a wind in North Africa. Mistral is a cold strong dry wind in France. Khamsin is also a wind in Egypt that blows for 50 days. It is also Arabic for 50. Bora is another wind blowing from the Adriatic Sea. Shamal (a lesser known model) is a wind this one blows through Iraq. Karif is another wind from Somolia. Other Maserati models were named after race victories; Indy, Sebring, Mexico, Kyalami.
Question, when you say it has Bluetooth. You are talking about two different features, i hope you know. Bluetooth is a wireless feature to use hands free calling and Music Sync options or address book for your phone. In the label you put for Bluetooth before you talked about this feature, you spoke of WIFI. Wifi and Bluetooth are two different things, WIFI in a car is called HOT SPOT, and Bluetooth is just called Bluetooth. Does it have both, or am i hearing you wrong. Because that would be amazing :)
I was thinking thee exact same thing! I'm purchasing a ghilbi very soon but i never knew anything about built in wifi.. bluetooth and wifi is 2 very different things. and really do i have to do all that to sync or bluetooth my phone? I don't even have an sd card I have an iPhone!! please @RPO305 clarify thanks
Wigglejiggles The SD card slot is to play music or audio from an SD card. It’s not to hook up you phone....that would be via Bluetooth. And there’s no WiFi hotspot hosted by the car. That would require a subscription for service.
Yo I have a few questions. I’m fixing to get one and everyone says not to because of it braking down so much. Can I ask what problems you have ran into? What have you had to replace?
I actually like my Jaguar XF more than my Ghibli I wish I didn't but I do I have about 4000 miles on it the road noise and the steering is so off. I just thought I would like it more. I love the attention it gets but that's about it . I am glad I kept Jaguar XF I think I am going to sell the Ghibli buy the Maserati Gran Turismo see if I can find a low mileage one coming off a lease.
The BMW 3 series does the same thing! For the trunk opening thing haha. It also doesn't lock the car if the key fob is inside the cabin. It should do the same thing for the Mas. Cool vid tho. Interesting to watch, but too poor to buy. :P
That's Maserati is built by Chrysler everything is made by Chrysler only the exhaust is made by Ferrari the only Maserati made by Ferrari is the grandturismo
+Omar Hibbert At the time i bought the car, the M4 just came out and i loved the look of the car, but I just didnt want to go from BMW(535i) to another BMW, unless it was an i8 lol. So went this route instead.
Actually your car isn't made in Maranello (Modena) by Ferrari. The engine is made by Ferrari in Maranello but from 2013 the car is assembled by Maserati in his own factory in Grugliasco (Turin), alongside the Quattroporte and the upcoming SUV Levante.
U are way off on your number 4. Did u know that that infotainment system is Chryslers uconnect. My ma has the same system in her Dodge Journey. The window switches are from dodges parts bin to, like my Dodge Grand Caravan.. All u need is the Bluetooth on your phone that's it. The sd card slot (Dodge Journey has one too) is for audio playing... And yes your infotainment can be a wifi hotspot only if u get the package through your manufacture.. I wish people would do their homework before saying things...
the engine block Fiat/Chrysler chose for Ferrari to develop from was actually the Chrysler Pentastar V6 Ferrari actually arrived at very similar number Chrysler had benched marked on what the Pentastar can do (Chrysler Pentastar Turbo 360HP, Twin Turbo 420HP)
Can I pleasure ask you what do you do for a living ? I'm a graduate chemical Engineer just to let you know ... dono if that's enough for the long term lol ..... would really appreciate your response.
the engine blocks are cast and machined to Ferrari's specifications respectively in Fiat's Kokomo, Indiana and Trenton Engine Plant, then shipped to Modena, Italy for assembly by Ferrari
@@kallekas8551 Haha kiddo, do your research. Engine is built by Ferrari. Yes it used interior parts of Chrysler but what other luxury/ ectopic car doesn’t. Bugatti uses Volkswagen parts. Just because you’re broke doesn’t mean you bash a brand. I own a Range Rover sport 2018, and Maserati SQ4 2020.. Owned a Porsche Panamera 2019 and don’t look back. You most likely own a Toyota ahah
IRL this thing really doesn’t turn heads lol. I used to see these all over Vancouver and they looked like large sports sedans on closer inspection but no head turner or double takes. That rear end looks like incognito. Head turners: AMG GT, 911, Lexus LC.
Been looking for an AWD Sedan with a sexy look and sound in the 30k range and came across the Ghibli's. What do you guys who own one think about your rides so far? How many issues are as overly complicated and expensive to get done at shop?
i wish there was a way to know what all these keyboard ranger Ghibli haters drive in real life. Guarantee if their buddy rolls up a roaring sq4 these haters will be singing a different tune in real life and will prefer to ride in the friends ghibli to the club over their shitty riced out civic
I wish there was a way to know what the Ghibli polishers drive in real life lol. Chances are they’re Ferrari fanatics who don’t have the dough even for a Lincoln and have Ferrari stickers all over their dorm rooms 😂
For me this car is a big disappointment... Maybe I have unrealistic claims,but what good do you have for a good engine, good transmission, stability,etc and when is your world dear the car computer come to ruin your fun? I want to drive my self not the car computer, but the car "think" for me and this is the reason i d'ont like this car! If can buy this car with petrol engine, manual gear box and unlimited computer is fantastic! What good do you have for a good engine, good transmission, stability and when is your world dear to your computer to spoil your fun? In vain you have a good horse blood stallion if you run him with legs bound!
+Collins Mbibi Yeah I hear ya, not always about the hp though. Think of it this way, you can buy a Charger/Challenger Hellcat with 700hp for 70K or a Lamborghini Aventador with 700hp for $380k. Just other factors to consider when it comes to quality, brand name, etc.
What about that you could have saved a ton of money by getting the alfa romeo giulia since they are the exact same car just with different badging and dam near 50% of the cost. Idk about you but I would rather have the extra money over just having the name.
