The Ghibli, named after an African wind, was Maserati's first step into the supercar league. Launched just a few months after Lamborghini's Muira, the Ghibli was intended as a fast, refined GT rather than an all out sports car. To this end it featured a comfortable cabin with the added benefit of electric windows and air conditioning (very rare at the time).
The Ghibli proved very popular. 1200 of the Giugiaro styled GT were produced including a number of equally attractive spider versions. Unfortunately, like so many of it's contemporaries, it was bought to an end by the 70's fuel crisis. But that was not the end, as Maserati revived the name in their nineties coupe. |
