Maserati Ghibli Classic 1960's seen in Turin, Italy

This classic was designed by Giorgio Giugiaro when he was in his twenties and working at Ghia in Turin. The car was in Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Turin, Italy, for the Gran Premio of Valentino Park during the local Car Show.


The Ghibli was first unveiled in prototype form on the Maserati stand at the November 1966 Turin Motor Show. Its steel body, characterized by a low, shark-shaped nose, was designed by a young Giorgetto Giugiaro, then working at Ghia. Deliveries started in March of the following year. 


A video with the full parade of the supercars seen at this event is here - Hope you will like it.


The car was powered by a front placed quad-cam 4.7 L, 306 HP dry sump V8 engine mated to a five-speed manual or, on request, to a three-speed automatic transmission. It had a 0-60 mph time of 6.8 seconds, a top speed of 250 km/h.
