Since then, chrome or even gold-plating car is not a thing that wows anymore (well, at least not as much as before). It was the matte paint or wrap which was all the rage. Just when you thought car paint job couldn’t get any wilder, this Velvet-wrapped Maserati Ghibli Luxury Sedan came along. Yes. You heard that right. Velvet. You know? That material that’s soft to touch and seems to change color when you rub it in a particular direction? Yup, that kind velvet.

Custom Hearse Based On Maserati Ghibli Lets The Dead Depart In Style
Speed kills. Everyone knows that, but what most people don’t know is, speed could be accompanying the dead too – thanks to this Maserati Hearse custom by Italian hearse specialist, Ellena. While luxury hearse is not unheard of (Mercedes-Benz knows best!), this Maserati Ghibli-based funeral car is probably the first. As you can see, the front end looks exactly like a regular Ghibli, but anything beyond the A pillar is custom to ferry the dead to his/her final destination. The custom works include a ridiculously stretched wheelbase that bumps up the entire car length to an astounding 260 inches which ended with a hatchback rear end that’s obviously not Maserati’s.

This Is Levante, The First Ever SUV In The History Of Maserati
While Ferrari’s head honcho dismissed the idea of a Ferrari SUV, saying it would be “over his dead body,” Maserati is more open to the idea and on February 19, 2016, the Italian luxury car maker announced its first ever SUV in the company’s history, the Maserati Levante. Levante, which will be making its official appearance at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, is powered by both petrol and diesel engines that are all Euro6-compliant, paired to a drivetrain that includes an 8-speed automatic transmission specially calibrated for the new SUV and Maserati’s intelligent Q4 all-wheel drive system.

2014 Maserati Ghibli Sports Executive Sedan
although details are scant, at least until its showing at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show later this month, the 2014 Maserati Ghibli Sports Executive Sedan is still as desirable as ever. call us superficial, but the fact remains that this car is an absolute beauty. the latest iteration of the Ghibli is destined to be first production car from the Italy luxury automaker’s stable to be fitted with a diesel unit – a 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged diesel, to be more specific. though no performance figures are indicated. from the scraps of what we know from the press release, this compression-ignition engine driven luxury sports sedan will be mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, driving either the rear wheels or the new ‘Q4’ all-wheel drive system. so, you could say the 2014 Ghibli is the smaller version of the Quattroporte.
the fact that the Italy firm chose to debut the new Ghibli at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show kind of indicates the automaker’s desire to woo the boundless Chinese market. hardly surprising. given that loads of millionaires are popping up in this growing economic power on daily basis, who wouldn’t want a share of the pie? and that’s probably how this new shiny ride will aid Maserati’s growth plan to push out 50,000 cars per year. as for more details, we shall wait and see, or you could head on down to Ghibli microsite and site for updates as it becomes available. in the mean time, clear the jump and treat your eyes with a trio of larger images and a little sample of how the Ghibli sounds like (hint: it’s music to our ears!).

need a luxe car that has the power and speed but just as practical for any other activities like grocery shopping or going out with your family? then you can look forward to the 2013 Maserati Quattroporte. though the Modena folks called it the all-new Maserati Quattroporte, we can see it still carries over much of the outgoing model’s elements such as the front grill, the three side fender vents, as well as the triangular C pillar. in short, non-enthusiasts would probably mistaken it for the current model and that doesn’t help with little official information to go around for now, except for some images to tease us before its official premier at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS).
