Maserati Ghibli (1992)

The second Maserati Ghibli, introduced in 1992, is a sporting coupe that Maserati of Italy built until 1997 on an evolution of the Biturbo, which it replaced, and it revived the name of the 1967 Ghibli. In 1992 the 222, 2.24V, 422, 4.24V, 430 and Spider models of the Biturbo family left the price list, and a further restyling by Marcello Gandini of the Maserati Racing gave the new Ghibli a new front, a higher tail, aerodynamic additions, special wheels and a renewed engine range. There were two 24-valve twin-turbo V6 engines: a 1,996 cc unit of 306 CV with a top speed of 260 km/h, and a 2,790 cc unit of 284 CV derived from the 228i. Later came the 1994 model year with ABS, the Open Cup racing version of 27 cars and the Cup of 1996, and the Primatist of 1997 built in 35 examples. Total production was 2,380 cars, a two-door coupe seating five.
