5 Things You Didnt Know About The Maserati Ghibli

[@alfisti93]

In case you're wondering about the "Ghibli"-thing: Maserati likes to name their cars after certain winds: Mistral, Karif, Bora, Shamal and Khamsin. Its about symbolising speed and force... This model is now the third car in Maseratis history to bear the name Ghibli -a Sahara desert wind.

[@rpo305]

Damn didn't know that, thanks for sharing!

[@alfisti93]

+rpo305 Now you can stop people from saying silly things about your wonderful cars name ;)

[@rpo305]

Agreed!

[@dinopappous6639]

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio all day long....and twice on SUNDAY !!!

[@keithshayle123]

Just to make a few corrections. 1. The Bluetooth function needs no SIM card, it pairs like any other Bluetooth device. 2. There is as an option a in car WiFi unit which will allow up to three device's to connect to an 'in car' network for internet access. In the UK this does require a SIM card to be installed, as I understand it Autonet who provide the unit have a different system in the U.S that may not require a SIM. However the slot for the SIM is on the device which requires a dealer to lift the rear parcel shelf to access the slot. 3. Whilst the Diesel does have a synthesized exhaust note, this is produced outside the car within the exhaust itself, and generates a sound similar to that of a V8 engined Maserati when in Sport mode. Indeed so convincing is it, I have had people ask to record the sound never believing it's just a humble Diesel engine. Also in normal or ICE mode it's probably more refined than the petrol. Whilst for us in the UK paying GBP 6.00 odd a gallon (about USD 8.00 at current exchange rates) close on 40mpg on a long run makes a difference. Finally whilst the engine is manufactured by VM Motori who are an engine subsidiary of Maserati parent company FCA, and is based on a unit used by Chrysler, it was developed extensively with help from Ferrari and actually produces more Torque than the engine found in the Ghibli S. However given the negative press particularly in Europe, the days of newly produced diesel, or for that matter petrol are numbered. It was already announced Maserati will be going down the electric route for future cars.

[@michagruszczynski5035]

The name Ghibli comes from one of the most successful cars they ever produced. It was a straight competition for ferrari daytona back in the days.

[@andreas8725]

As i know the Diesel Exhaust "Sound actuator" is NOT using the speakers inside the car but a special actuator speaker mounted at the exhaust itself. Thats why and because of the double Glass Front Windows the Diesel sounds even better from outside then from inside.

[@rpo305]

+Andreas Ahh I didnt know that, great info, thanks!

[@jameshblack]

Would get it toned down want it quiet exhaust ( don’t let the police know where you are ) SILENT BUT VIOLENT

[@davidmontes1700]

I just got a 2016 Maserati Ghibli S today!!! I traded in my 2014 Ghibli S Q4, and got a Ghibli S. Same horse power and everything else. But just read wheel drive. And it sounds amazing!!!

[@rpo305]

+David Montes Ahh jealous! Enjoy it!!!!

[@davidmontes1700]

+rpo305 Thank you! I will!

[@2stixx]

+David Montes but... Q4 has 403hp much faster

[@raviamin2820]

+Joe Della no, they both have 404, s is just RWD

[@karenbarbalace8733]

[@Zergcerebrates]

I've been watching your videos and got lots of info needed for my decision to purchase one and I got the S Q4 yesterday with the 21" titano wheels. Love the Ghibli's!

[@rpo305]

+Zerg Cerebrates Thats awesome, glad I could help! Love those effing wheels too! Enjoy your Ghibli!!!

[@bmitch1211]

rpo305 still have it?

[@crazyone1067]

Nissan's with SmartKey has that trunk option

[@robs9010]

not hating at all but the 2010 and up Nissan Altima also wont let you lock the key fob in the trunk.

[@grahamjones2223]

Thanks for the info! I just bought a 2018 so I’m excited to get acquainted with it!

[@larrysmith6797]

Trash the rear license plate frame and use all four screws to secure it so it doesn't rattle when you close the trunk.

[@zakariahlafreniere1332]

Larry Smith kan kan kan

[@stevemiller3947]

It only has 2 screw holes

[@charlieryan1736]

Thanks for another informative and interesting Maserati video 🇮🇹👌🏻

Dopest license plate ever

[@rpo305]

+DJ Samir Thanks!

[@pajarogrande420]

+rpo305 hell yeah hahahahahha

[@leafclover781]

It's Ghibli because of Maserati's tradition of naming their vehicles after a wind it's not the only wind named vehicle in Maseratis history

[@damascus-ut1ee]

The Ghibli 60° V6 engine block is cast in Detroit, Michigan, USA and then shipped to Italy where it is assembled by Ferrari. The block is pretty much identical to the Chrysler V6 engine, unlike the 90° V6 block used in the Alfa Romeos. So while the Ghibli (and Quattroporte) V6 are assembled by Ferrari and approve of the specs, it’s very much a Chrysler engine, with some Ferrari oversight and parts on it. Much like how the BMW B58 was looked over very thoroughly by Toyota before it was approved to be in the MkV Supra.

[@marcsmith3881]

You would be amazed how many people have called me to get their keys of the trunk. That is a great feature actually. It is a rare occurrence, but when it happens, it turns into a bad day.

[@dennisbergendorff9161]

I really live your maserati ghibli it's so heaven wonderful

[@dennisbergendorff9161]

love

[@bobv190]

Every now and then i watch a video of yours. Keep it up :D

[@rpo305]

+Bob V Thanks!

[@aldoscala]

I'm waiting for the Maserati Levante (SUV) coming out this year, then decide if to get it or the Ghibli.

[@kristofwanderer1]

Bro, I have a blue sq4, and that white is BEAUTIFUL!! Maybe it's because of the brake dust that's so ever present 😂😂

[@senselessmonkee]

I love the name Maserati so anything that is added on to that really could not do much damage. Ghibli sounds like a name for a little bird that hops around on one leg. I really like it though and want to go check it out soon.

[@Adetokunbo03]

Man I do love your videos bro keep it up

[@atlantikav5902]

Easy to say go for a petrol when you live in America with cheap fuel prices, here in the UK we pay nearly $7.00 a gallon! Hence why I have a Maserati Ghibli Diesel......still cool though :)

[@rpo305]

+Atlantik av Yikes thats a lot. Makes total sense!

[@jamiehouten911]

Hi Atlantik av, I am thinking of buying a used Ghibli diesel and I am in the UK. Do you recommend them four years on? My other option is a 640d.

[@speedtime2834]

2005 to 2015 Acura RL has that with the trunk

[@SuperDougiedoo]

For those who buy the car for the name, Quattroporte literally means 4 doors. Great video. We have two Levante's a Quattroporte and a Ghibli sat in the workshop and I just love the look and feel of the Ghibli.

[@raversman]

the engine is built using Chrysler parts

[@Nic7320]

Several 1960's-1970's models were named after winds; Ghibli is the name of a wind in North Africa. Mistral is a cold strong dry wind in France. Khamsin is also a wind in Egypt that blows for 50 days. It is also Arabic for 50. Bora is another wind blowing from the Adriatic Sea. Shamal (a lesser known model) is a wind this one blows through Iraq. Karif is another wind from Somolia. Other Maserati models were named after race victories; Indy, Sebring, Mexico, Kyalami.

[@josedealbuquerquejr.941]

4 seats car were usually named after circuits where Maserati won races, 2 seats car were usually named after winds names

[@jay2live246]

🤣 brrro your license plate

[@CaseohWstreamer]

WRONG!!! The Ghibli and the Quattroporte (except the QP-GTS) all have V6 engines. Those blocks are made at Chrysler in Detroit and then shipped to Italy for installation. Only the V8 engines in the QP-GTS and the GranT are made in Italy by Ferrari-Maserati

[@josedealbuquerquejr.941]

The V6s from Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte (not the Netuno) are also made by Ferrari kzbin.info/www/bejne/lavKkJWki5eFqpY

[@bsmith186]

could really use some information on my Maserati Ghibli especially when it comes to the aftermod parts

[@4c1dm45t3r]

Keep it up! I Like your Videos! But please Use Something like selfglueing Velcro to mount your License Plate. it will look really nice, clean and kind like the Plate hovers in place. It will also not sound like a Garage Door when you close your trunk.

[@dre4daysgaming582]

whats the difference between this year model and a 2015 or 2014?, curiouse because ive always wanted to own one

[@Dartmadness]

Yo I have a few questions. I’m fixing to get one and everyone says not to because of it braking down so much. Can I ask what problems you have ran into? What have you had to replace?

[@jackiesoong5555]

It's a very helpful video!! Thanks very much

[@Adetokunbo03]

I actually like my Jaguar XF more than my Ghibli I wish I didn't but I do I have about 4000 miles on it the road noise and the steering is so off. I just thought I would like it more. I love the attention it gets but that's about it . I am glad I kept Jaguar XF I think I am going to sell the Ghibli buy the Maserati Gran Turismo see if I can find a low mileage one coming off a lease.

[@Paul_Zernick]

2nd hand quattroporte all day long. Gran turismo if the Mrs wasn't in on it.

[@winstonwang2617]

bro. Does this car has many rattle noise. Im really looking forward to buy one or quattroportte.

[@brdavis]

I'm pretty sure the SD slot is for an SD card not a much smaller SIM card.

[@ArtByGerrett]

The Bluetooth phone pair screen looks exactly like the Dodge or Chrysler screen in my Wife's 300.

[@VanquishMediaDE]

That's because it is mate.

[@someoneatsomwere]

The engine is Ferrari.. everything else is Chrysler lol. The window switches are right out of a Dodge Dart lol

[@memolocs01]

Didnt even know they come in diesel lol

[@wigglejiggles]

Question, when you say it has Bluetooth. You are talking about two different features, i hope you know. Bluetooth is a wireless feature to use hands free calling and Music Sync options or address book for your phone. In the label you put for Bluetooth before you talked about this feature, you spoke of WIFI. Wifi and Bluetooth are two different things, WIFI in a car is called HOT SPOT, and Bluetooth is just called Bluetooth. Does it have both, or am i hearing you wrong. Because that would be amazing :)

[@kennedikids6606]

I was thinking thee exact same thing! I'm purchasing a ghilbi very soon but i never knew anything about built in wifi.. bluetooth and wifi is 2 very different things. and really do i have to do all that to sync or bluetooth my phone? I don't even have an sd card I have an iPhone!! please @RPO305 clarify thanks

[@johnhodgson7892]

Wigglejiggles The SD card slot is to play music or audio from an SD card. It’s not to hook up you phone....that would be via Bluetooth. And there’s no WiFi hotspot hosted by the car. That would require a subscription for service.

[@LonelyWolf7679]

Thank-you

[@domnation6070]

Bluetooth you made me laugh 😂 😂😂😂

[@shawnstallworth]

What kind fuel you use

[@ima2319]

Have you ever got fined for not having a front license plate?

[@Paul_Zernick]

Sim card into a sd slot? I think you'll find it pairs to a phone like most other cars. Sim card in a car is 2G technology. I hope you are very wrong!

[@roomfactor]

the engine is actually designed by Maserati while considering standard Ferrari engine blocks. Then Ferrari assembles it.

[@67claudius]

+roomfactor The engine was designed jointly by Ferrari and Maserati engineers.

[@jaxone1259]

You mean HOT DESERT WIND. Ghibli

[@ShinnSin]

The BMW 3 series does the same thing! For the trunk opening thing haha. It also doesn't lock the car if the key fob is inside the cabin. It should do the same thing for the Mas. Cool vid tho. Interesting to watch, but too poor to buy. :P

[@omarhibbert7141]

i think you mentioned in your video that you were considering a bmw m4, if im correct on what you said, why not consider or compare this to a m5...

[@rpo305]

+Omar Hibbert At the time i bought the car, the M4 just came out and i loved the look of the car, but I just didnt want to go from BMW(535i) to another BMW, unless it was an i8 lol. So went this route instead.

[@mters12]

no sir only the engine is built by ferrari ,the car is assembels in maserati production line with the quatrtroporti .

[@rpo305]

the engine block Fiat/Chrysler chose for Ferrari to develop from was actually the Chrysler Pentastar V6 Ferrari actually arrived at very similar number Chrysler had benched marked on what the Pentastar can do (Chrysler Pentastar Turbo 360HP, Twin Turbo 420HP)
