Maserati Ghibli Trofeo Flexes Ferrari Power Under the Hood

Both the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo can claim being the fastest on-road Maserati sedans ever. Getting up to 60 mph in the Ghibli takes just four short seconds, and this legendary performance puts this edition of the Ghibli in the upper tier of the finest European performance sedans.

The rear-wheel-drive Ghibli Trofeo sources power from a 3.79-liter twin-turbo and direct-injected V8, courtesy of close relative Ferrari, and this epic engine cranks out 572 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The 2021 model sees improved features in the boomerang light clusters, carbon-fiber inserts, and front grilles.

The Ghibli also boasts a double-wishbone suspension with Skyhook shocks to round out an incredibly solid but smooth ride. There is launch control in race mode, and the engine soundtrack this time is slightly quieter than past Maserati models. In general, it’s not the loudest but still possesses power that leads to head-spinning acceleration and thrilling speed.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find carbon-fiber trim and sport seats that are heated and ventilated along with 12-way adjustment. The analog-style gauges are a throwback to the one-of-a-kind grand touring cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s that drivers remember so fondly.
