TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT A PIECE OF ART: IT IS A GALLERY

All models in the Maserati Ghibli range benefit from the sophistication and refinement of the latest generation, eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. Lightweight, precise and easily capable of coping with the car’s high-performance engines, it uses auto-adaptive software to recognize the driving style and road conditions, and then alters the gear-changing mode accordingly. The last two gears, seventh and eighth, have been specially calibrated to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort on long, high-speed journeys.

On the Maserati Ghibli, the front-mounted gearbox transmits the drive to the rear wheels by means of a dual-section, articulated driveshaft. This is coupled to a limited-slip mechanical differential, with an asymmetric locking function that allows locking of 35% during traction and 45 percent during release.

There are five operating modes, selected using the buttons by the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport and the new I.C.E. (Increased Control & Efficiency).
