Ghibli [Official] Maserati Ghibli GranLusso - Ghibli facelift

[maragulon]

The new Ghibli GranLusso, as shown in the first images revealed by Maserati today, will make its debut at the Chengdu Motorshow, in China, on August 25th.

After four years of unprecedented success in all the international markets, the Italian sports sedan gets an important upgrade in terms of design and technological contents.

The new Ghibli GranLusso showcases a new front bumper with dedicated chrome inserts and new front grille with chrome bars, in line with the latest Maserati models style signature.

In profile, the GranLusso badge at the bases of the front fenders and body colour side skirts, identify the specific version.

The new rear bumper, together with the body colour rear extractor, is elegantly redesigned to give a sharper look to the model compared to the previous version.

The new Ghibli GranLusso design isn’t just about the look: the restyling contributed to a substantial improvement of the aerodynamic efficiency.

Together with the exterior restyling, the new Ghibli GranLusso introduces important features such as Adaptive full LED Headlights with glare free Matrix High-Beam for a distinctive look and even better illumination.

New active ADAS functionalities are also available in the Ghibli GranLusso, allowing Maserati to enter the world of autonomous driving.

Where is GranSport?

Still looks like a rental.

Horrible shutlines to boot.

No thanks.

 

[Kowalski]

Still ugly.

Still ugly.

For a Maserati....

The only upside are the proportions.

On Maserati site are only GranLusso pics.

Too much Ferrari in the 1st pic...

 

[Merc1]

I don't see any difference??

I wish they made a wagon.

I still think this is a nice car. It looks better in real life than in pics.

Yupp. As an "alternative" sedan to the Germans I find it more desirable than the emotionless Jaguar XE.

It's a looker in the lush blue/purple colour:

Too bad there is not much info in the press release but it certainly looks good. As an alternative to the emotionless Germans, this car still has a nice niche for itself. In person, the car looks very good. I've seen a couple and they are real head turners with large wheels.

I see more of these on the streets than the Audi A6 or the Jaguar XF, so the Maserati appeals to those who think Mercedes and BMW are far too common.

Where is the V8 for this car? Why not challenge the E63/M5 with a 600hp version of this car? FCA shoestring budget? Even a 550hp V8 version would be nice.

You would think that FCA would be more creative with their more pinnacle brands. A high performance Ghibli,Quattroporte and essentially Levante could be what they need or maybe it's the limitations of the platform?
Just bring on the Alferi.

 

[beckervdo]

Levante will have V8 in form of Levante GTS.
Ghibli not (for now)
With this M.Y. 2018 had some ADAS implementations

 

[Merc1]

It's a really good looking car, but that truck sized steering wheel and the Chrysler DNA kills it and the entire new generation of Masers. The only Maser for me is the ancient, but still pretty Granturismo.

The GranSport version looks pretty damn good. I'd say this was a successful facelift even though the tech isn't all new.
