1969 Ghibli
1969 Maserati Ghibli
In 1969, Maserati debuted its new Ghia-designed Ghibli at the Turin Auto Show. The man behind the design was young Giorgetto Giugaro, then a rising star in the Italian world of design. The sleek new coupe body featured pop-up headlamps and traded in the curves of prior Maserati roadcars for crisp, modern edges.
It proved to be the most popular Maserati vehicle since the automaker withdrew from racing in the 1950s, outselling its two biggest rivals: the Ferrari Daytona and the Lamborghini Miura. The Ghibli was so well regarded that “Sports Car International” named it number nine of its list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s; it was in good company with the Jaguar E-Type, the Porsche 911, the various incarnations of the Ferrari 250.
Maserati’s new supercar was powered by a 340 horsepower, four-cam V-8 derived from the mighty450S racing car of the late 1950s. The rear suspension was comprised of a live axle with leaf springs and an anti-roll bar while the front used an independent suspension with double wishbones and coil springs plus anti-roll bar. The Ghibli sat atop a Mexico chassis that had been shortened and received increased stiffness and rigidity. Ventilated disc brakes were fitted behind all four wheels and a five-speed manual gearbox helped send power to the rear wheels. Between 1967 and 1973, Maserati produced just 1,149 of the lovely and powerful 150 mph Ghibli coupes.
