Mansory surprises us with tastefully restrained Maserati Ghibli upgrade kit


Mansory surprises us with tastefully restrained Maserati Ghibli upgrade kit

Known for their over-the-top tuning kits, Mansory has decided to tone it down considerably for this Maserati Ghibli customization program.
Mansory’s work caters a very specific niche of customers, but with their latest Ghibli package should have a much broader appeal as the styling tweaks are subtle and dare we say tasteful. Work started at the front fascia where the high-performance sedan from Modena has received a two-piece spoiler lip made from carbon fiber and available with optional air ducts. There’s also a new rear trunk lid spoiler along with a custom diffuser which have all been manufactured from CF.
It now sits on Mansory’s Trident large 22-inch alloy wheels with 255/30 R22 front and 295/25 R22 rear tires and comes with red brake calipers while the interior - not shown yet - has a sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals, lots of leather, illuminated door sills and a choice for either a wood or carbon trim.
To go with the visual enhancements, Mansory has elaborated some power packages as the Ghibli S with its 3.0-liter V6 was upgraded from 410 PS (301 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque to 480 PS (353 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) while the 3.0-liter V6 inside the Ghibli Diesel was boosted from 275 PS (202 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) to 310 PS (228 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft).
There’s no word regarding performances, but the power hike should make the tuned Ghibli S faster than the standard version which needs 5 seconds until 62 mph (100 km/h) before topping out at 177 mph (285 km/h). It should be the same story with the Ghibli Diesel which in stock configuration does the quick run in 6.3 seconds and can reach 155 mph (250 km/h).
