The Maserati Ghibli made its debut on the world stage, at the Ghia stand at the Turin Motor Show on November 3 1966. A new interpretation of theconcept, the two-seater coupé was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Named after the powerful, warm wind from North Africa, the tradition that continues to this day with the Grecale as part of the Trident brand’s new era.
The design was entrusted to Ghia, which then had Giorgetto Giugiaro on its creative design team. The Italian is responsible for a number of iconic shapes, including the Volkswagen Golf Mk1 and numerous Nikon cameras. The side view enhanced the slender line of the Ghibli: a long, low bonnet, a heavily inclined windscreen, perfect proportions with no superfluous decoration. The triangular rear pillar took on its own identity, becoming an iconic component later taken up in other successful models from the Trident brand.The result was a car and after it was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show the Ghibli was launched in 1967.
