Imoto yokuqala yohlobo lwase-Italy efakwe injini kadizili yethulwe namuhla eShanghai: Maserati Ghibli.
IMaserati isanda kwethula isaluni yayo entsha, iMaserati Ghibli, embukisweni wezimoto iShanghai Motor Show. Omunye wemicimbi okhule kakhulu eminyakeni yakamuva, ukhuliswe ukubaluleka okukhulayo kwemakethe yezimoto yase-Asia.
Sekubhekwa enye indlela efanelekile kulabo abafuna inguqulo ehlangene nesporty ye-Quatroporte, iMaserati Ghibli izithatha njengohlobo "lomfowabo omncane" wokuqala. Ihlelelwe ukwethulwa ekuqaleni kuka-2014, iMaserati Ghibli izofika kulesi sigaba sokuqala ifakwe izinjini ezintathu kuphela.
Njengoba inoveli ngokuphelele mayelana nezinjini, i-"Baby Quattroporte" izoba iMaserati yokuqala emlandweni ukunikeza injini kadizili. Injini engu-3 litre V6 yathuthukiswa ngaphansi kokubhekisiswa u-Paolo Martinelli oyedwa, okungekho omunye ngaphandle kwe-ex-Ferrari ebhekele ukuhlolwa komgwaqo. Ngokohlobo, le njini ikwazi ukukhiqiza amandla angu-275hp no-600Nm, esiza iGhibli ukuthi ifinyelele ku-100km/h ngemizuzwana engu-6.3. Uma ishintsha, icela amalitha angu-6 kuphela kadizili ngebanga lika-100km futhi ikhipha ngaphansi kuka-160g/km we-CO2 emkhathini.
Ezinjinini zikaphethiloli, izinguqulo ezimbili zenjini efanayo engu-3000cc V6. Enye ine-torque engu-330hp no-500Nm kanti enye ine-torque engu-410hp no-550Nm ibekelwe inguqulo ye-S, esporty kunawo wonke emkhakheni weMaserati Ghibli. Eyakamuva ikwazi ukufika ku-100km/h ngemizuzwana emi-5 bese ifinyelela ku-285km/h.
Ngokujwayelekile zonke izinjini zizohlonyiswa ngokwejwayelekile nge-gearbox yesimanje eyisishiyagalombili-speed automatic, ezoletha amandla e-axle yangemuva, noma ikwazi ukuwenza kuwo wonke amasondo amane ngohlelo olusha lwe-Q4 oludonsa ngawo wonke amasondo.
Imodeli ebaluleke kakhulu yomkhiqizo. Ku-Maserati Ghibli kuncike empumelelweni noma ekuhlulekeni kokuphathwa komkhiqizo wase-Italy ukufinyelela umgomo wamayunithi angama-50,000 akhiqizwa ngonyaka. Imininingwane eyengeziwe iyeza maduze.
