Maserati previously only offered six-cylinder power under the hood of the Ghibli, but a new Trofeo variant changes that. Every Ghibli utilizes an eight-speed automatic, and both RWD and AWD are available.
The carryover engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6. In the RWD-only standard Ghibli, it develops 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, which Maserati says is good for 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Under the hood of the RWD Ghibli S and AWD Ghibli S Q4, it cranks out 424 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, and estimated 0-60 drops to 4.9 and 4.7 seconds, respectively (years ago, we tested a 405-hp version hitting 60 in 4.8 seconds). Fuel economy for RWD V-6 models is rated at 17/25 mpg city/highway and AWD cars return 16/24 mpg.
New for this year is the Ghibli Trofeo, a model powered by a version of the engine found in the Quattroporte GTS. The Trofeo's 3.8-liter Ferrari twin-turbo V-8 delivers an impressive 580 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque, and we got it from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. The Ghibli Trofeo will only be offered with RWD and is EPA-rated at 13/20 mpg.
