Maserati Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacius, the new Italian creation with a touch of Chinese style

The Masetati Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacius is the result of the personalization program of the Bologna-based brand, Maserati Fuoriserie, a program that allows the customer to customize any part of the car to their liking.

The design collaboration for this car was with the Chinese fashion brand CANNOTWAIT_, owned by actor, singer and trendsetter William Chan, who has seen a rise in popularity in recent years among mostly young customers.

Breaking the mold

The Love Audacius creation is quite a departure from what the Italian brand has accustomed us to. And that is the goal of the Maserati Fuoriserie program we have already mentioned. Breaking the mold and letting customers give free rein to their creativity.

The style that inspired the creation of this Italian saloon is based on love. That is why this car has been presented today. The 520 -May 20th- is a set of numbers that in China mean “I love you,” and today is the day when love is celebrated there. Didn’t you get a little sentimental knowing that?

The Maserati Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacius catches the eye first of all for its new colour, called Digital Aurora.

This colour is a combination of purple with bluish touches, combined with a three-layer paint coating, to which a pink pigment with glass flakes has been added, creating a highly eye-catching effect.

The luxury saloon with the bold configuration by CANNOTWAIT_ rides on Teseo 20″ wheels in Dark Miron colour, combined with four-piston brake calipers signed by Brembo in electric blue.

The model features two customized CANNOTWAIT_ badges on the iconic air vents of Maserati and another on the centre console as a sign of the model’s exclusivity. The new Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious goes on sale in May, and only eight units will be sold exclusively for the Chinese market.

Heart of the Love Audacious

As for its engine, let us recall that the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid features the most down-tuned engine in the brand’s range. A 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder mild hybrid, derived from the Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce and Stelvio, producing 330 CV.

The 2.0-litre of the Ghibli Hybrid delivers 450 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm, at which point the saloon does not push as enthusiastically. The powertrain is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox with torque converter that sends power to the rear wheels, something the Italian brand cannot do without.
