Maserati is importing just 20 limited-edition Ghibli Scatenato to Australia. Scatenato – Italian for Unleash – is powered by the Maserati designed, Ferrari built twin-turbo 3.0 litre V6 engine. This puts out 350 hp and drives the rear wheels via an eight speed automatic. This Ghibli can get from zero to 100 kmh in 5.5 seconds.
Special features on the Scatenato are 21-inch Titano forged alloy wheels. Sitting inside the wheels are brake calipers in Maserati Blue.
Inside, the standard seats have been up graded to wrap-around Sports Seats upholstered in supple leather. The front seats are heated and offer 12-way electric movement with two memory settings for the driver. The interior trim is complemented by a black piano finish.
Safety is not overlooked with the Ghibli Scatenato also including traffic sign recognition and active blind spot warning, while the active cruise control combines safety and convenience.
The Maserati Ghibli Scatenato has a recommended price of $154,990 driveaway and is on sale now.
