2014 Maserati Ghibli SQ4 :: 2014 Maserati Ghibli SQ4

IridiumFX · Sep 18, 2014

Hey guys and gals!!! Okay so as you guys know, last week I picked up this beautiful Black on Brown Ghibli SQ4 with the 21" Titano wheels. Options include: Extended leather, velour floor carpets, red brake calipers, premium sound system, mica paint, ebano wood, premium and sport packages. Like I do with every car I've owned, below is a full photoshoot for everyone here. (sorry that there are a bunch of similar ones, but I just threw them all on here). Interested in your suggestions and opinions! I hope you enjoy!

Score! Such a classy ride in every respect. The options and details are absolutely perfect.
Too bad you have to have that front plate.

Thank you so much! I feel ya with the stupid front plate thing. The guy at the dealership was kind enough to throw in a retractable front license plate holder. It tucks away underneath, kinda cool. It's not automatic but can be hidden once outside of New York. You'll notice it's visible in some photos and not in others.

Ahh, I see now. That is perfectly acceptable.

Suggestions...??yeah i have one.....don't do anything about that or i'll even fly over the big pond and kick your ass LOL....!! Wow what a great car....looks amazing.

.like the wheels as well. Overhaul look is great. Ok ok the critic i am would want to have those gaps between the tyres and fenders be a bit more closed just to have that perfect stance. Don't all new maserati's have stock coilover suspensions ?? Butttt can imagine you don't want that cause it looks like you live in a urban area....so put holes and bumps i gues. Still Love...it.....no disrespect

Wheels looks great. Maybe change the caliper color?

dlaska · Sep 26, 2014

wow nice! I like the retractable plate and wall of fame LOL

Very nice upgrade Chris. I like the interiors and the wood accents looks way so much better than other wood accents I've seen.

This is beyond my pay grade :-(

Haha thank you! Yeah no-can-do on the lowering. The center of the bottom of the car scrapes pretty badly when entering and exiting my driveway. Any lower and I feel like it might get stuck!

I kinda like the red. Not to mention that it is a $750 option! Ha crazy.

Thank you, too bad the plate is not automatic, only manual. I physically have to slide it down.

Ha thank you! The interior is pretty incredible. The stitching on the dashboard, the plush headrests, the rich wood. It's pretty nuts. definitely the most elegant interior of any of my leases!

Hey guys, my brother wanted to do a little photoshoot with my car at an abandoned airfield in Brooklyn. Here are some of the pictures. I wanted to share his work with you guys. Enjoy!

Wow, nicely done shoot. :good:

Sideswipe · Sep 29, 2014

nice shoot...is that Floyd Bennett? We used to take the bikes out there and...oh forget it

ryus · Sep 29, 2014

Would like to hear how you like the car and how the does ride, power, handling and such feel compared to other cars you have had.

Sweet ride, the other day I saw 2 Ghibli's, driving along the same street. When I saw the first one I said to myself, what a sweet classy ride, 10 seconds later I see another one lol! They must be on sale! :eek.:

raymond · Sep 29, 2014

I see you did the audi led mirror mod as well on the maserati.....great job LOL on the last pics the stance already looks better.....can understand the scraping problem. Always have these issues with my cars. So you still have the FX or did i miss that part ??

jdTrader · Sep 29, 2014

Yes it is Floyd Bennett Field. Ha yeah I could imagine doing some damage out there. It's just wide open runways. Makes sense that cops sit there for exactly that reason!

The ride is incredible. The sound is ferocious. The steering is great, the brakes are tight, the big touchscreen is super intuitive. Very easy to use. The interior is incredibly rich and elegant. Definitely my favorite car I've leased. And hell yes they are on sale! They have leases starting at $569 per month for a base Ghibli with not many options. I got $16k off of mine! Made the lease payments only $35 more per month than the BMW 550i I had on order!

Ha, LED Mirror mod was first on my list! Of course we still have the FX. My wife loves her car and tries to fight me when I tell her I want to get her a 2015 QX70!
