As you would expect of a luxury sports sedan, there’s soothing comfort and effortlessly intuitive technology, but also race-bred performance. There’s graceful, four-door coupé design, but also sporting character. And there’s the comfort of a smooth ride, but also pin-sharp, sports car-like handling. Such dynamic contrasts, so typical of Maserati, are a source of endless inspiration – whether you’re on the way to a conference or breaking loose for the drive of a lifetime. The latest models now offer even more excitement, with a host of exterior design refinements, new safety technology and important developments when it comes to Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. The Ghibli is offered in GranLusso and GranSport trims, each comprehensively equipped according to your precise personal wishes. With the GranLusso, the emphasis is on luxury and comfort. With the GranSport, it’s more about engaging driving dynamics. Both offer you a new range of alloy wheel, exterior paint colour and interior trim options. Whatever your choice, whatever your ambition, the Maserati Ghibli always has a uniquely inspirational answer. 8 A A history of character An ENDURING LEGACY The first Maserati Ghibli was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and unveiled at the Turin Motor Show of 1966. Giugiaro, then in his 20s, was considered a design prodigy. And rightly so. His creation, with its 2+2, fastback format, pop-up headlights and audacious shark-nosed profile was an instant hit and became an automotive design icon. Maserati had planned to make 100 models but, following the car’s rapturous reception, that number was boosted to 400. In the end, the Ghibli remained in production until the end of 1972, with 1,295 examples built in spyder and coupé format. The car followed a tradition pioneered by Maserati with the glorious A6 1500 of 1947. It was a grand tourer. That meant it delivered on the promise of glorious style, high-powered luxury and peerless comfort over almost any distance the owner cared to consider. It was also, naturally, a car imbued with our motor racing DNA – a remarkably powerful force. Indeed, well before 1966, we had proved our credentials with a host of famous wins. Here are just a few examples. In 1926, Alfieri Maserati drove the Maserati Tipo 26 to victory in its first ever race – the treacherous Targa Florio in the mountains of Sicily. In 1939, Wilbur Shaw won the Indianapolis 500 at the wheel of the Maserati ‘Boyle Special’ 8 CTF at an average speed of over 185 km/h. He then repeated this incredible feat the next year, making Maserati the only European manufacturer to win the Indy 500 two years in a row. Our latest Ghibli embodies the spirit that shaped both the first incarnation of 1966 and our hunger to innovate, compete and win. That means exclusive luxury, elegant yet bold design and progressive technology. And, of course, empowering performance. 12 E exteriors Singular STYLE The design of the Ghibli is a study in dynamically sculpted curves and gracefully flowing lines. At the front, the signature grille bearing the Maserati Trident signals both dynamic intent and poised composure. Inspired by the legendary A6 GCS Berlinetta of the 1950s, it features chromed bars and is perfectly integrated into the bumper, also updated. 16 In profile, a host of details create a striking coupé look. They include frameless doors, muscular rear haunches and the sloping C-pillar design, which incorporates the timeless Saetta logo. The car’s sportiness is enhanced by quad chrome exhaust tailpipes – not to mention the inspirational words ‘Maserati’ and ‘Ghibli’ in the company’s classic script. 18 Sophisticated NEW EXTERIOR SHADES To enhance your paint options as well as the eye-catching allure of Ghibli, a striking new shade has recently been added to refresh the exterior colour palette: Blu Nobile. It reflects a different side of the Maserati personality and captures the boldness and sophistication for which the Trident is renowned. 20 BLU NOBILE TRI-COAT PAINT Deep, dark blue with sparkling glass flakes that glisten when exposed to sunlight and enhance the unique design of the Ghibli. Shimmering like the tips of the waves in the rolling ocean, this is not so much a colour as an enriching visual experience that transforms each time the car flashes past. Ever since the times of the ancient Egyptians, blue has been blessed with noble connotations, standing for royalty and favoured by rulers. This imperious shade of blue reflects these aristocratic traditions and perfectly complements the effortlessly flowing lines of the Ghibli. 21 I INTERIORS A distinctive INVITATION The interior of the Ghibli is, in essence, a clearly expressed invitation to travel – in luxurious comfort and with effortless access to the high power at your disposal. In true Maserati grand touring tradition, the cabin is characterised by elegant Italian style, hand-crafted finishes and perfectly organised, generously proportioned design. The sumptuous leather-finished curves, the clean, technical purity of the dashboard and detailing in metallic-effect Dark Mirror trim simultaneously relax and heighten the senses. Two side panels converge towards an elegantly simple central structure, which houses the traditional Maserati clock with its blue face and aluminium detailing. Beneath that, there’s the 8.4” touchscreen infotainment system and rotary control, along with a handy phone storage box. The large speedometer and rev counter benefit from purist white backlighting and are separated by a 7” TFT display that presents the car’s dynamic data, while new American-size cupholders add to the sense of luxury within the cabin. Even with its head-turning coupé-like proportions, the Ghibli offers class-leading front legroom, as well as comfortable head and leg space for rear passengers. All seats are clad in meticulously selected and processed leather. In the finest tradition of Italian craftsmanship, they are also stitched by hand, while the front headrests are embossed with the Trident logo. Your options have recently been extended with the possibility of immaculately soft Pieno Fiore natural leather, as well as new interior trims. Individual adaptability is a Maserati hallmark. Which is why, for instance, the driver’s seat of the Ghibli offers six-way electric adjustment and the leather multi-function steering wheel features a wealth of adjustment possibilities. 24 New inTERIOR TRIMS The purposeful ambience of the cabin is another aspect that creates a strong point of difference for Maserati. Two lavish new interior trims add to the appeal of this sanctuary for the driver, and further increase the options for personalisation. HIGH-GLOSS CARBON FIBRE TWILL Developed to emphasise the sporty nature of Maserati, this new trim has a glossy top coat that presents a textured 3D look and adds further exclusivity to the cabin. Every car is completely unique as the carbon pattern is real, ensuring that it will be slightly different every single time. The other beauty of carbon is its extraordinary natural strength, which prevents the trim from marking and protects the integrity of the Ghibli interior. HIGH-GLOSS ROVERE VENEER As with all other new Maserati trims, this complex veneer took around a year to develop from original concept to finished product. It is a combination of three different woods layered and then crafted by artisans in Italy. The tree bearing the Rovere wood is the symbol of one of the most powerful Italian families, and it is the fine stripes and glossy top coat that give this trim its highly distinctive appearance. 27 G GRAN DUO GhibliGran usso FOR THE LOVE OF LUXURY L The GranLusso trim builds on the exclusive appeal of the Ghibli with chromed bumper inserts, bodycolour side skirts, the GranLusso badge on the front wings and 19” Poseidone alloy wheels with black brake calipers. There’s also the option of a power boot lid with a kick sensor. With this, the boot can be opened by simply moving your foot under the rear bumper. 36 Opulence WITH AN EDGE The Ghibli GranLusso introduces higher levels of luxury and convenience. This offers Comfort seats with 12-way power adjustment and a memory function as well as the choice of full premium leather, Pieno Fiore natural leather or Ermenegildo Zegna silk upholstery, complemented by Radica open-pore wood trim. The power-adjustable steering wheel is also finished in fine wood. More exclusive luxuries include the Harman Kardon Premium Sound system, a power rear sunblind, power foot pedals and an electrically lockable, PIN number-protected passenger glove box. 38 Ghibli Gran Sport SPORT TAKES CENTRE STAGE For an even sharper sporting edge, there’s the Ghibli GranSport. This is equipped with a Sport-specific bumper with Black Piano inserts, the GranSport badge on the wings and 20” Urano machine-polished alloy wheels with red calipers. An optional Exterior Carbon Package for the GranSport is another tempting choice. This includes door handles, exterior door mirrors, B- and C-pillar covers, front splitter and the rear spoiler all finished in carbon. Both the GranLusso and GranSport trim options, meanwhile, offer the hi-tech style and safety of the new anti-glare full LED Adaptive Matrix headlights and the convenience of Soft Close Doors. The enhanced headlight technology continuously adjusts the high and low beams, ensuring a sublimely comfortable and safe drive experience, whatever the speed or driving conditions. 42 Take THE RACING LINE For a dynamic atmosphere, the GranSport interior features body-hugging Sport seats, also with 12-way power adjustment and a memory function, a grippy Sport steering wheel, gearshift paddles and purist Inox Sport foot pedals. Additionally, there is the option of an interior carbon package with the GranSport. This adds lightweight, satisfyingly tactile carbon finishing to the Sport steering wheel, gearshift paddles, doorsills and interior trim. 44 E ENGINES CHOICES,Two ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES A core offering of all Maserati vehicles is the ability to cover long distances at dynamic yet refined high speed. With the Ghibli, the power that delivers this comes from a choice of two V6 petrol engines and a V6 diesel. The Ghibli offers the inspirational, high-capacity power expected of a Maserati supercar. It’s also a luxury executive saloon, so it’s highly efficient and low on CO2 emissions. Nothing can match the Maserati engine note, however. And with the Ghibli, a lightweight exhaust system with bypass valves ensures that it’s delivered to maximum effect. With Sport mode active – which also sharpens the vehicle’s handling parameters – the valves open, providing the shortest, highest-energy route for the exhaust gases. The result is optimised performance and that unmistakably resonant, spine-tingling sound. 350 CV V6 TWIN TURBO The V6 engine in the Ghibli delivers 350 CV at 5,500 rpm and 500 Nm of torque at 4,500. In overboost mode, peak torque is available between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. Combined fuel consumption is just 11.0-11.1 litres/100 km and combined CO2 emissions are between 248 and 252 grams per kilometre. The 350 CV Ghibli accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 267 km/h. 430 CV V6 TWIN TURBO The Ghibli S and S Q4 features the most powerful version of the V6. Maximum output has been raised to 430 CV and is delivered at 5,750 rpm. With overboost mode, peak torque of 580 Nm is on tap between 2,250 rpm and 4,000 rpm. That means remarkable driving flexibility and performance. The Ghibli S dispatches the sprint from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, while the S Q4 achieves 4.7 seconds. Both share a top speed of 286 km/h. Combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for the S version are 11.011.1 litres/100 km and between 248 and 252 g/km. The needto-know numbers for the S Q4 are 11.7-11.8 litres/100 km and between 265 and 268 g/km. 49 An ALL-MASERATI DIESEL The Ghibli diesel was the first diesel-powered car in the history of Maserati - and it’s everything a Maserati engine should be. The turbocharged V6 in the Maserati Ghibli diesel offers a uniquely rewarding combination of massive power, long-distance refinement and impressive efficiency. Developing class-leading output of 275 CV and a mighty 600 Nm of torque, the engine takes the Ghibli from zero to 100 km/h in a fast and smooth 6.3 seconds before going on to top speed of 250 km/h. As for economy and emissions, the figures speak volumes. Combined fuel consumption is between 7.0 and 7.6 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions are just 183-199 g/km. A stateof-the-art Common Rail fuel injection system and the “air gap technology” of the exhaust manifolds ensure excellent refinement, while variable geometry turbocharging significantly cuts turbo lag. The turbo system also benefits from a Rotary Electronic Actuator. This reduces friction for even better responsiveness and lower emissions. The function automatically deactivates in Sport mode and when the driver turns off stability control. It can also be deactivated from the cluster display controls using the steering-wheel buttons. When it comes to the engine note, this engine is evidently all Maserati. Thanks to the Maserati Active Sound system, two actuators underscore the engine’s most rousing tones and modulate them according to driving style. And when the driver presses the Sport button, the vocal performance becomes even more dynamically forceful. 51 T TECHNOLOGY Sophistication AND EXHILARATION The sophisticated ZF eight-speed automatic transmission in the Maserati Ghibli puts a vast world of possibilities in the palm of your hand – and, if tempted, your fingertips. The advanced design of the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission ensures precise gear changes and optimum performance, putting the power of the Ghibli engines under your complete control. Thanks to auto-adaptive software, the transmission modifies its shift patterns according to driving style, for an even more rewarding, one-to-one driving experience. And when it comes to long, high-speed journeys, the last two gears, seventh and eighth, are specially calibrated to reduce fuel consumption and further increase comfort. The transmission sends power to the rear wheels of all Ghibli versions via a standard mechanical Limited-Slip differential. This ensures superb traction in even challenging situations. Operation has recently been made even more effortless with a new gear lever design featuring separate lanes for RND and manual selection. With only one setting per lane in each direction, the short travel further enhances engine responsiveness. The dedicated Park button on the lever only adds to the convenience. For maximum driver involvement, there are five operating modes, selected using the buttons near the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport, and Increased Control & Efficiency (I.C.E.). Upshifts are all automatic unless a manual mode is selected. AUTO SPORT MODE In this mode, gearshifts take place in under 100 milliseconds and occur at higher revs. This guarantees a near-seamless flow of exhilarating high power and a far more sporty driving style. What’s more, on petrol-engine versions, overboost is activated. This gives access to peak torque at a considerably reduced engine speed. Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) adds to the excitement, giving the driver even more dynamic control. AUTO NORMAL MODE This pre-set mode provides smooth gearshifts at low revs to maximise ride comfort and minimise fuel consumption. When a sportier style of driving is recognised, upshifts automatically take place at higher engine speeds. I.C.E. (INCREASED CONTROL & EFFICIENCY) MODE This mode ensures better control in all weather conditions, the most comfortable and quietest engine response, and minimal fuel consumption. MANUAL NORMAL MODE This allows the driver to change gear using the optional paddles behind the steering wheel or the lever on the central tunnel. The system automatically shifts up a gear as the red line approaches, and shifts down in the same way. MANUAL SPORT MODE In Manual Sport, the driver takes full control of the transmission: the overboost function is activated for maximum performance, gearshifts are quicker and sharper, and the engine can be pushed to the limit without the system intervening. The only automatic feature is downshifting if the revs drop too low. 57 Masterful DYNAMICS The long road ahead, with its twists, turns and occasional surprises, is there for the taking in the Maserati Ghibli thanks to a host of intelligent systems. Q4 INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM The Ghibli S Q4 is a perfect choice for drivers seeking the dynamic rewards of rear-wheel drive with the back-up of four-by-four traction. Each version features the same compact and lightweight Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system. In normal conditions, the Q4 system sends all torque to the rear wheels, for perfectly balanced Maserati driving dynamics and optimal fuel consumption. If traction is lost due to sudden acceleration of very low grip at the rear axle, Q4 can alter the torque split from 100 per cent rear-wheel drive to 50-50 between the front and rear wheels. It all happens in an imperceptible 150 milliseconds – or less than the blink of an eye. SKYHOOK SUSPENSION The Ghibli GranSport features Skyhook suspension as standard, with shock absorbers delivering continuous damping variation. The system uses sensors that monitor the movement of each wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the settings of each damper accordingly. The basic setting prioritises ride comfort, but if more dynamic handling is required, a simple press of the suspension button on the central tunnel immediately firms up the shock absorbers. 58 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) All Maserati Ghibli versions feature EPS as standard, without compromising the responsiveness that is such an important part of our DNA. This system is designed to provide the excellent road-feel expected from Maserati and is particularly efficient as it is powered directly by the engine when needed, so there is no need for a hydraulic pump. What’s more, with no pressurised fluid under the bonnet, less maintenance is required. The system adapts its weight according to speed, being lighter and easy to turn when manoeuvring in a tight spot, for instance. Conversely it has a weightier, more connected feel at high speeds. Another plus point is integration with active Advanced Driving Assistance Systems such as Highway Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist. INTEGRATED VEHICLE CONTROL It’s often better to be proactive, rather than reactive – especially when it comes to driving dynamics. Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) anticipates any issues that could cause instability and counteracts them in the blink of an eye. The system works by selectively reducing engine torque and applying brakeforce to individual wheels as required. The result, out on the open road or through sweeping twists and turns, is increased safety, greater driving enjoyment and potentially higher speeds. Innovation FOR A CONNECTED WORLD A cutting-edge infotainment package puts the focus on intuitive engagement, real-world assistance and adaptable enjoyment. The interior of the Ghibli is built around a driver interface that is intuitive, uncluttered and simple to use. The instrument cluster features large analogue gauges for the tachometer and speedometer, alongside a 7” TFT display. Major dynamic functions are incorporated into the buttons alongside the gearshift, while other on-board settings can be set using the Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) infotainment system at the centre of the dashboard, or the steering wheel controls for the 7” TFT display. MASERATI TOUCH CONTROL PLUS The 8.4” Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) unit takes pride of place at the centre of the Ghibli dashboard. With very few buttons plus a highly responsive interface, it is designed to help the driver maintain focus on the road ahead and mastering it is intuitive and easy. MTC+ can be operated in three ways: via the multi-touchscreen, the rotary control in the central console, or through voice 60 commands. The system incorporates the car’s radio, Bluetooth®, and satellite navigation system (where fitted), along with connections to external sources such as mobile phones, tablets and laptop computers. Using Aux-in, USB sockets or the SD card reader, you can also play music. In addition, MTC+ controls the front seat heating, as well as the ventilation, steering wheel heating and the operation of the rear sunblind, where fitted. The screen also displays the rear view, with guidelines, for the reversing camera, too. The state-of-the-art system features both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® mirroring functions. In addition, for iPhone® users, Apple’s SIRI® system acts as a personal assistant, allowing them to carry out tasks using voice command. Through naturally spoken language, it is possible to make a call or access music, messages, reminders, emails, websites and much more. T THE SOUND OF QUALITY WorldClass AUDIO ENTERTAINMENT The Ghibli is offered with three audio system choices. A powerful 280-watt, 8-speaker package is fitted as standard and sets the bar at an impressively high level. You can, however, move up to one of two outstanding options designed for true audio aficionados – the 10-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound system and the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound system. HARMAN KARDON PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM The optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound system offers the most elevated levels of audio refinement, with every component uniquely tailored to perfectly match the Ghibli interior. To achieve this, Harman Kardon sound engineers worked very closely with the development team at Maserati. The core of the system is a state-of-the-art, 900-watt amplifier, delivering rich and detailed sound quality, whatever the source, be it radio, MP3 player, iPhone® or audio streaming device. No fewer than 12 independent channels are deployed, for superb balance within the car environment. A special high-performance subwoofer handles the low-end frequencies with ease, while the mid-range drivers and tweeters ensure that every instrument and every artist can be appreciated to the full. And with the 10 high- powered speakers carefully distributed throughout the cabin, this system guarantees sublime sound for all on board the Ghibli. BOWERS & WILKINS SURROUND SOUND This audio package is the product of 50 years of Bowers & Wilkins’ countless hours of testing and even extensive research in the field of psychoacoustics – the science of how people react emotionally to sound. Fifteen speakers, with mid-range drivers and rear-woofers made from Kevlar®, have been strategically built into the car’s architecture, while a 1,280-watt amplifier ensures immersive sound for all on board. Advanced aluminium tweeters capture the faintest audio subtleties, while creating a rock-solid bass is guaranteed by Rohacell® in the system’s bass drivers. The system features QuantumLogic™ Surround Sound Technology, which digitally remodels signal streams and reconstructs the original recording of a musical piece. Along with this, the Clari-Fi function automatically restores detail lost in digitally compressed music. The Bowers & Wilkins system is compatible with most disc formats and features a built-in USB connector for a smartphone, iPod or MP3 player. Alternatively, tracks can be streamed directly either via Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto®. 65 S SAFETY Advanced DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS The Ghibli is equipped with an impressively comprehensive range of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. It means even greater peace of mind, whether you’re on an exclusive grand tour or a dash through the city. TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION It can be easy to miss traffic signs sometimes, for all sorts of reasons. This is where Traffic Sign Recognition comes in. It monitors three types of sign: speed limits, temporary speed limits due to conditions such as heavy rain, and no-overtaking zones. It then displays the signs digitally in the cluster display. The system works with a digital camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror and navigation system data. HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM (HAS) This combines the virtues of Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Keeping Assist to make life even easier on motorways, while achieving level 2 semi-autonomous driving. Using information picked up from a digital camera behind the rear-view mirror and a radar system in the front grille, HAS automatically keeps the vehicle centred in its lane, at a preselected speed and at a chosen distance from the vehicle ahead. It will even decelerate the Ghibli through to a standstill as the traffic dictates. To ensure safety, HAS requires the driver to keep his or her hands on the steering wheel at all times. LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM Thanks to a camera in the rear-view mirror that monitors road markings ahead, the Lane Departure Warning system helps the driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane on motorways and main roads. This reduces lane drift and the possibility of lateral collisions by providing a warning when the vehicle crosses lane markings without signalling. Activation of the turn indicator overrides the system. LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) This provides valuable support if the driver is about to unintentionally leave a lane. A digital camera behind the rearview mirror continuously monitors road markings to keep track of the course ahead. The instrument panel display shows the specific status. White lines on either side of the vehicle image indicate that it is safely in lane. One yellow line indicates that the Ghibli is moving off-centre, right or left. And one flashing yellow line warns of lane departure. At that point, when the Visual & Haptic box is selected in the touchscreen display, LKA actively steps in with corrective steering torque. ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIST With this system, a warning icon appears in the exterior door mirrors when a vehicle enters the driver’s blind spot. Three levels of support can be selected if the driver nonetheless initiates a lane change. Either the system maintains the visual alert in the door mirrors, the alerts are backed up with an acoustic warning, or the system intervenes with steering torque. The intensity of this torque is also adaptable according to preference. 69 SURROUND VIEW CAMERA This provides a clear 360° view around the car, helping with parking and highlighting otherwise hidden obstructions. Images are captured by two cameras beneath the door mirrors plus front and rear cameras and shown on the main display screen. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO Adaptive Cruise Control constantly monitors the vehicle ahead, maintaining a pre-set distance. With the Stop & Go function, the car will also adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front until it comes to a complete stop, if the stop is less than three seconds. FORWARD COLLISION WARNING PLUS This system monitors vehicles and pedestrians ahead and warns if the approach could result in a rear-end collision. If the warning does not prompt any action from the driver, the Autonomous Emergency Braking system (AEB) automatically applies the brakes to reduce the car’s speed. It is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system (ABA), which provides additional braking during an emergency stop. 70 REAR CROSS PATH FUNCTION This is a welcome feature that emits a warning when an unseen vehicle is approaching, from the right or left, while reversing out of a parking space. FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS AND REVERSING CAMERA To assist with manoeuvring in tight spaces, the Ghibli comes equipped with parking sensors in the front and rear bumpers. Beeping noises increase in frequency as the obstacle approaches, while the TFT display in the centre of the instrument panel shows the car surrounded by symbols which light up in green, yellow or red depending on the remaining distance. In addition, there is an optional rear-view camera, fitted close to the boot lock, that shows a view of what is behind the car on the Maserati display. Dynamic grid lines illustrate the maximum width of the vehicle and its projected path, based on the steering angle of the front wheels. Comprehensive SAFETY Maserati made safety a top priority when designing the Ghibli. So not only does it provide mile after mile of high-powered luxury, it also has the full 5-star EURO NCAP safety rating. THE MASERATI STABILITY PROGRAM Developed in the most extreme test conditions, the Maserati Stability Program (MSP) uses an array of sensors to constantly monitor driving status. It can then deploy a host of safety and performance systems to maintain handling and grip. If, for instance, a skid is detected, MSP selectively reduces engine torque and can activate the brakes with finely varied inputs to restore stability within milliseconds. The MSP system also works in harmony with functions including Anti Slip Regulation (ASR), which reduces wheel spin and improves traction, and engine brake torque control (MSR) that prevents the wheels from locking up when suddenly changing down gears. Additionally, antilock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) stop the wheels from locking and distribute brakeforce between the front and rear axles. Further support is provided by the Brake Assist System (BAS). This recognises emergency stops and boosts the pressure in the hydraulic circuit to maximise stopping power. A Hill Holder, meanwhile, helps the driver when starting off on an uphill slope. 73 FULL-LED ADAPTIVE MATRIX HEADLIGHTS WITH ANTI-GLARE HIGH-BEAM ASSIST The GranLusso and GranSport are fitted with Full-LED Adaptive Matrix headlights that even further sharpen the striking Maserati look, significantly improve visibility and lower energy usage. They also offer remarkably long bulb life. With 15 LEDs operating at full beam, these headlights offer a 200% greater field of vision than traditional halogen lights. Road illumination extends by 55 metres and bulb longevity is roughly twice as long. Its glare-free technology enables drivers to gain the full benefits of their headlights without affecting oncoming vehicles. This uses a digital camera behind the rear-view mirror to detect approaching vehicles. It then directs the light away from the other vehicles, leaving them untroubled by glare. The surrounding areas, meanwhile, remain safely and effectively lit with near-daylight quality illumination. ADAPTIVE DRIVING BEAM (ADB) This automatically adjusts the width and depth of the headlight beams, giving maximum lighting effectiveness and optimal safety. This is made possible by a camera mounted in the rearview mirror and sensors that monitor several different parameters, including the steering wheel position, the car’s speed and the way it is being driven. ADB comes on automatically when driving in bad weather, on motorways or in town.

With a Master Maserati driving course you can quickly find out what happens when you swap the joys of the highway for the intensity of the track or the challenges of a tough off-road circuit. Maserati courses give you free rein to explore the seemingly endless dynamic potential of the entire Maserati model range. They also offer two rare and truly extraordinary opportunities – taking personal charge of the awe-inspiring GranTurismo GT4 racer and experiencing it with a GT world champion at the wheel. As a Master Maserati driver, you’ll discover how all of Maserati cars – with their racing DNA – are built to bring out the very best in you as you pursue ever-faster lap times or tackle difficult terrain. But you won’t be going it alone. We provide tailored one-to-one instruction from championship-winning drivers who coach from the passenger seat as you drive – providing a level of personal attention that promises both immersive enjoyment and accelerated learning. The support of advanced technology, such as telemetry and video analysis, further helps you finetune your skills. Master Maserati courses are held at the Varano de’ Melegari (Parma) circuit, a track with first-class safety standards and superb on and off-road facilities nestled in beautiful Italian countryside. 82 YOUR INSTRUCTORS Experts are international drivers with first-hand experience in elite racing categories such as Formula 1, the World Endurance Championship and the World Rally Championship. The coaching team are all Italian and they’ve worked exclusively at Master Maserati for many years, combining training at Varano with their own motor sport careers. All in all, including our driving experts, there is a staff of more than 50 people, led by Andrea de Adamich, a highly respected figure in motor sport. PRACTICE START YOUR ENGINES AND GET READY FOR YOUR FIRST RIDE INTO THE MASERATI WORLD The journey to Maserati Mastery starts now. Think of a Formula 1 practice session and then put yourself in the driving seat. This is, essentially, what happens here. After you’ve picked up the fundamentals of track driving through one-to-one expert guidance, you’ll be out there on the track – enjoying the immediate, exhilarating experience of exploring the performance limits of the Quattroporte, Ghibli, Levante, GranTurismo and GranCabrio. It’s an experience that will make you a considerably better driver and eager for more excitement in the future. You’ll also be ready to take the next step up – to Qualifying. QUALIFYING MASTER THE ART OF SPEED BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A MASERATI Progression to the Qualifying stage means raising the intensity in the GranTurismo, Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante. Just as you would in a qualifying session, you’ll be pushing the limits, making mistakes, fixing them – and getting faster as you master the art of speed in your Maserati. And of course, your Master Maserati driving expert will be right there by your side, passing on championship-winning knowledge and insight. At this level, we introduce detailed video analysis and vital insights from racing telemetry that will help you fine-tune your skills. These techniques often lead to major improvements in your driving, which you will be eager to build on in the courses to come. RACE EXPERIENCE THE RAW EXCITEMENT OF BEING A MASERATI RACING DRIVER – IN THE BREATHTAKING GT4 In this one-day course, you’ll be driving a full-blooded racer – the GT4. Before you’re strapped into that six-point harness, you get to know the vehicle inside and out. Then, after expert coaching, you’re ready to hit the track and discover what the GT4 car really can do – and how far you can take it. There will also be timed, competitive driving. As with professional motor sport, you’ll be supported by an expert team, from seasoned mechanics to telemetry experts. CHAMPIONSHIP AN EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE ON AN EXCEPTIONAL CAR: THE GRANTURISMO MC GT4 This is the elite, two-day Championship experience, complete with your own paddock team, personal coach and, naturally, cutting-edge telemetry. You’ll even have exclusive access to the Ferrari F1 team’s MedEx physical therapy specialists. This is essential support because you’ll be driving the awe-inspiring GranTurismo GT4. And that means G-forces far beyond anything your body may have experienced before. You’ll also experience hot laps driven by none other than Andrea Bertolini – four-time world champion in this iconic, purist racing machine. MASTER INCENTIVE TEAM BONDING, OR EVEN A SPECIAL ‘THANK YOU’, DOESN’T GET MORE EXCLUSIVE OR EXHILARATING THAN THIS Nothing bonds a team like the exhilaration and spirit of a Master Maserati driving experience. What’s more, we can tailor any programme to suit the interests and aims of your business or team, and we welcome groups of any size for the number of driving days they’d prefer. For instance, we can provide instruction on the basics of track driving or how to become a racing driver. We offer guidance from expert drivers, one-to-one coaching, video, telemetry recording and the full support of a crew. The driving can also be combined with cultural programmes and activities, including a visit to the Panini Motor Museum in Modena, culinary experiences and a Maserati factory tour. For your added convenience, we offer a range of supplementary services, from organising hotels to airport transfers. ARE YOU READY TO MASTER MASERATI?
