Sub Zero. One of Giorgetto Giugiaro's best designs and one of the finest looking Italian classics. Just like many other vintage Maseratis, it's absolutely stunning from very angle. It's a far cry from the overpriced, outdated, and uncompetitive sedan Ghibli we have today; they simply do not make Maserati cars as splendid and beautiful as the original Ghibli anymore.

Instant Sub-Zero. Prettier than the Daytona and Espada any day, and I love all three. It really sucks that this one is forgotten compared to them (or at least compared to the Daytona.) Why is this not in Forza or GT?

It's quite interesting that the Ghibli has always remained rather forgotten, being that it was quite ahead of it's time and heavily influenced other Italian supercars, such as the Daytona and Espada. Most likely due to it having less power.

Sub Zero. More GT looking than the Bora and Merak.

Probably the best looking Maserati built. Such a shame that the Ghibli name is tarnished now.

 

[Adamgp]

IMO there are a lot of better looking cars built during that time.

Meh.

 

[Liquid]

This thing looks absolutely incredible.

 

[Rallywagon]

Sub zero for sure. Man that is a gorgeous car.

@GranTurNismo just wanted to point out you have a typo in the drivetrain layout.

 

[MoLiEG]

Ahhhh... the Ghibli... design wise it might be one of the most beautiful Maseratti's ever.

And why does it feel like I'm in the freezer section of the supermarket?

SZ.

Not as pretty as a Daytona, a Lamborghini Islero, an ISO Grifo or even the Aston DBS of that era, but still cool.

This is probably the BEST that Maserati could offer. If I had the money, I would buy this over any classic Ferrari. Needed more of these in the market!

 

[All Your Base]

I personally prefer the Indy myself, but this is still a pretty easy SZ.

Automatic SZ because it's Maserati in its prime, and it looks (and sounds) amazing.

 

[mustafur]

SZ but the Coupe let's it down a bit I think, the Convertible is Godly looking and Oozes Coolness.
