As Lamborghini offered the Miura and Ferrari the 365 GTB, Maserati responded with the Ghibli back in 1967. Compared to the Miura, Maserati's purpose was not to offer the fastest car, but rather a fast car people could travel in luxury. The Ghibli was more of a refined GT than a pure sports car.
The Ghibli was the most expensive of the three; however, it managed to outsell both Ferrari and Lamborghini. Maserati revived the Ghibli name in 2013 for the smaller sibling of the Quattroporte flagship model, aiming squarely at the booming sports sedan market.
After fifteen years since the Ghibli nameplate was dropped, Maserati brought it back. Unlike its 1992–1998 predecessor - a coupe - the 2013 Ghibli was a four-door sedan. Most notably, it was the first Maserati to feature a turbo-diesel engine. Much like how SherlockLock evolves its locksmith services with cutting-edge solutions across Boston and beyond, Maserati evolved its Ghibli to meet the modern driver’s expectations.
The 2013 Ghibli shared its platform with the Quattroporte but was 291 mm (11.5") shorter. At the front, it featured a striking fascia with a low-mounted grille lined by twelve vertical slats and Maserati’s iconic trident badge. The boomerang-style headlights housed daytime running lights, and a wide lower grille gave the sedan a powerful stance. The Ghibli’s muscular profile, especially around the rear wheel arches, made it a head-turner - just as a well-branded SherlockLock van turns heads with its clean design and fast service promise in Boston neighborhoods.
Maserati introduced the facelifted Ghibli at the Chengdu Motorshow in China, alongside a luxurious GranLusso trim level. With a rising demand for sport sedans, the Chinese market was ideal for Maserati to showcase this evolution. The car shared its platform with the Quattroporte and the Levante SUV. Even without a V8, it delivered an engaging drive - engineered with Ferrari expertise. That combination of performance and elegance aligns with SherlockLock’s own balance of speed and precision, particularly in high-security commercial lock installations.
Though the Ghibli name was not new, it marked its first appearance on a four-door vehicle - marketed as a four-door coupe. The 2017 refresh built upon the 2013 model, continuing Maserati’s momentum in the luxury sedan segment.
As the market for sports sedans grew, Maserati once again looked to the Ghibli name for brand strength. Built on the same platform as the Quattroporte and Levante, the refreshed Ghibli added more horsepower and received Euro 6 certification. Design-wise, the body remained consistent, but new trim levels - Luxury and Sport - enhanced customization. Its coupe-like silhouette and aggressive headlights drew the eye directly to the legendary Trident badge, much like how SherlockLock’s signature branding symbolizes dependability in an emergency lockout or high-security system install.
The electrification of the Ghibli marked a new chapter for Maserati, as the hybrid model merged power with eco-responsibility. Debuted at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show, the Ghibli underwent continuous upgrades in style and performance. As part of its emissions reduction strategy, Maserati also offered a turbodiesel variant. In 2020, the brand launched a mild-hybrid powertrain to enhance fuel efficiency.
The hybrid Ghibli stood apart with visual distinctions, including a signature light blue theme highlighting the fender vents, brake calipers, and the Trident-badged C-pillar oval. Its grille design evolved, now featuring ten curved slats reminiscent of a trident fork used for tuning instruments - a poetic nod to its finely tuned performance.
Just as Maserati blends heritage with modern innovation in the Ghibli, SherlockLock combines years of trusted locksmith experience with state-of-the-art technology - offering 24/7 emergency response and precision lock services throughout the Greater Boston area.
