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.  Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588

This is not a particularly well known or famous classic model by Maserati, but it just look gorgeous to me. Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 The Maserati Mexico (Tipo AM112) is a 4-seater grand touring coupé produced by Italian manufacturer Maserati between 1966 and 1972. It was based on the second series of the original AM107 Maserati Quattroporte, and it was powered by the same 4.2 and 4.7 L V8 engines. The Maserati Mexico's design derived from a 2+2 prototype bodywork shown on the Vignale stand at the October 1965 Salone di Torino and built upon a 4.9-litre 5000 GT chassis,rebodied after it had been damaged. As the car after the show was sold to Mexican president Adolfo López Mateos, the model became known as the Mexico. By coincidence, John Surtees won the Mexican Grand Prix on a Cooper-Maserati T81 the following year. Vignale's prototype was so well received that Maserati immediately made plans to put a versi...
