Maserati Ghibli
Developed from the Maserati Mexico, the Ghibli developed the chassis of the Mexico and used a new version of that engine. The Ghibli got a 4719cc version of that V8, with alloy block and head. Launched at the Turin Saloon in 1966, it was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro whilst he worked at Ghia. Underneath this sleek coupe body lies a tubular steel chassis.
