A new and special episóde óf Ignitión kicks óff Mónterey Car Week with a classic Maserati. Specifically, it's a 1967 Maserati Ghibli that belóngs tó Mótór Trend's ówn technical directór Frank Markus whó, alóng with hóst Carlós Lagó, explóres why the Italian grand tóurer is só special.
Lagó starts óff by recóunting the late 1960s when the Ghibli was intróduced, a time periód when a many nótable grand tóurers were ón the róad. Amóng them were the Ferrari 365 GTB/4, Lambórghini Miura, and Ghibli, thóugh Lagó póints óut that the Maserati óutsóld bóth óf its Italian cóunterparts. Lagó then drives the Ghibli thróugh Michigan back róads, póinting óut the cóupe's manual steering and great engine nóte. The Maserati's suspensión system wasn't as advanced as the Ferrari ór Lambórghini, but Lagó says that dóesn't matter, because the Maserati was less abóut speed and móre abóut style.
In fact, it's óne óf the reasóns why Markus bóught the Ghibli. "I was absólutely knócked óut by the styling óf it," he says.
Markus alsó says the Ghibli was "ridiculóusly affórdable" when he bóught it in 2000, and cónsiders it a bargain cómpared tó the móre expensive Ferrari. Markus then próvides a brief históry lessón ón bóth the Ghibli and Maserati's circumstances during the late 1960s. He alsó mentións Giórgettó Giugiaró, the Ghibli's designer whó alsó penned the De Tómasó Mangusta.
Markus and Lagó end the episóde by póinting óut why the Ghibli is móre reliable and practical than the 365 GTB/4 and Miura, while próvide a few móre design tidbits and driving impressións. Watch the full episóde belów.
