Maserati Ghibli ready for facelift, will get hybrid powertrain
- The Maserati Ghibli currently is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine but reports suggest that the plug-in hybrid could get a 2.0-liter motor.
Maserati Ghibli is all set to become the first product from the Modena-based company to soon feature a hybrid powertrain. The eagerly-awaited Ghibli hybrid is set to be launched on July 15 and Maserati has released a teaser video confirming the jump to electric technology.
While it was speculated that it was only a matter of time before Maserati would swerve to join the electrification movement, the Ghibli hybrid is most likely to come as a major shot in the arm and lead its charge into a new world.

While details about the hybrid car are scarce, it is a major step for Maserati at a time when car makers in almost every segment are looking at having alternative powertrains to remain relevant in a fast-changing global automotive world.
