What transmission does the Maserati Ghibli use?
2 Answers
Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a German ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. The Maserati Ghibli is a mid-to-large luxury car under the Maserati brand, featuring two engine options: one is a low-power version 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power version 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. The low-power version 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine of this car has a maximum power of 257 kW, a maximum torque of 500 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1750 to 4500 rpm.
I recently studied the Maserati Ghibli's drivetrain in detail. It uses an 8-speed automatic transmission provided by ZF, with super-smooth shifting that's almost imperceptible in city traffic jams, while also responding quickly to driving demands on highways. This design balances fuel efficiency and sporty performance—I found it quite fuel-efficient during my drives, yet still packing strong acceleration. If you frequently drive long distances, its intelligent control system can help reduce fatigue. For daily maintenance, although it's durable, I recommend regular checks of the transmission fluid to prevent minor issues—after all, premium cars rely on proper upkeep for longevity.
