CarHub · Maserati
The third-generation Maserati Ghibli is an Italian executive sedan that competes with the German establishment while offering something they cannot: a Ferrari-built engine and a distinctly Latin character.
Model profile
The Ghibli name returned in 2013 on the M157 platform, a mid-size sport sedan positioned below the Quattroporte and sharing much of its architecture. Over its life it received steady updates: a significant 2017 revision improved interior quality and added the GranLusso and GranSport appearance packages, and a 2021 refresh brought a modernised infotainment system, updated styling, and the flagship Trofeo.
Powertrain and equipment
The core engine is a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 assembled by Ferrari in Maranello. In the base Ghibli it produces around 330 hp; the Ghibli S and S Q4 raise this to roughly 345, and later 424–430 hp in higher states of tune.
The Ghibli is offered only as a four-door sedan. Trim structure centres on the engine tier (Ghibli, S, S Q4, Trofeo) combined with the GranLusso comfort package or the GranSport styling package.
Vehicle selection
Because the Ghibli depreciated steeply in the USA, the used market is full of low-to-moderate-mileage cars at a fraction of their original cost.
The Ghibli suits a buyer who wants an exclusive, Ferrari-engined executive sedan with presence that German rivals lack, and who understands that ownership rewards diligent maintenance.

Pre-purchase review
For the Maserati Ghibli, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
Both US and European Ghiblis are left-hand drive, which simplifies things, but US cars have mph clusters, US-specification lighting, and are petrol-only, whereas Europe also sold the diesel.
Typical work covers headlight beam adaptation, fitting or confirming a rear fog lamp, verifying the speedometer, and documenting the odometer conversion for the Einzelabnahme.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Yes. The diesel was never sold in the USA, so all American-market Ghiblis have the twin-turbo petrol engines.
The V6 and V8 are built by Ferrari in Maranello, a key part of the car's appeal.
It is dependable when properly maintained, but sensitive to neglect; service history and a pre-purchase inspection are essential.
Q4 adds traction in poor weather while remaining rear-biased, which many buyers prefer for European conditions.
Steep depreciation in the US market means many well-kept, lower-mileage cars are available at attractive purchase prices.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
