The Maserati Ghibli SS Coupé (type: AM115/49) is a rare, gorgeous, 70’s, Italian supercar.

This one was built and supplied in 1971. Since then she has only clocked up 47,086 miles. The SS edition of the Ghibli succeeded the standard Ghibli and had more power. This increase was due to the enlarged bore, going from 3.7 litres to 3.9 litres. If the standard Ghibli was pretty rare with only 1,170 made, the SS was even rarer with only 425 made. The car’s first owner specified a brilliant car. This Maserati Ghibli SS Coupé has an “Oro Kelso” (gold, code:2463214) finish with a “Senape” (tan, Connolly, code: PAC.1775) interior trim. The car looks absolutely great. Its external look is complemented by the welded Borrani Dial rims and Ansa exhaust. The Giorgetto Giugiaro designed bodywork is in fine condition with nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. The “Oro Kelso” paintwork has been res-prayed for cosmetic reasons and is in very nice condition with only minor blemishes. The brightwork is also very good. The original interior trim is a feast for the eyes. The carpets are neat and the leather is supple with a few light patches of wear, that only add to the car’s allure. All switches and instruments are in very good condition and working order. The interior condition is commiserated with the car’s low mileage.

Mechanically this Ghibli SS also has enjoyed splendid maintenance. The 90 degree, 4,930cc V8 engine delivers 335Hp at 5,500 revs and 481 Nm of torque at 4,000 revs. The engine is coupled to a 5-speed manual ZF transmission. The V8 gets the Maserati Ghibli SS Coupé to a top speed of 280 km/hr. We cannot imagine a more stylish way to achieve this kind of speed. At the time it was the fastest Maserati ever built. This Maserati Ghibli SS comes with a Maserati Classiche certificate. We suspect that the Maserati Ghibli SS is, in part thanks to its 4.9-litre engine, probably the finest 70’s Maserati and even possibly the finest Maserati of all. This car is ready for many kilometres of pleasurable driving, the type that only a classic Italian supercar can offer.
