I can smell the interior through my phone❗❗❗....plus its red, Italian leather....perfection!
this car is so hot
@@autofanaticcars wish the tailights were more dramatic but I'm nit picking a car I'll never be able to afford.
Why no blue faced gauges?
Btw Phil, are you going to review the 75th anniversary Graphene + Ceramic paste wax from Turtle Wax soon🤔
The interior looks so outdated
@@hassanger8128 it has an old school interior which is what most people that prefer old schools wants
@@autofanaticcars I will take the Alfa QV all day long. Also the alfa is 500 pounds lighter.
I'm a German car enthusiast and have owned a couple of BMWs and Benz and still continue to own them, I would pick this particular car over any German, yes, this Maserati is that much serious, it's beautiful, it's elegant, it's sexy, it's a proper sounding V8, it's fresh, it's flawless, this Maser is a master piece, I'm just wondering why they haven't been making this car... Well done Maserati..
I disagree, Maserati can't beat BMW, Mercedes, Porsche.
I disagree Duffy daf to me this is just a overpriced fiat
@@ali_ing069 ahahahahah
Anyone who's a little bent out of shape about the four second zero-to-sixty needs to remember that this isn't a Ferrari. The first priority of Maserati isn't to be the fastest car you can buy. It's about style, comfort, sportiness, beauty, exquisite materials and attention to detail. It's about revving up that amazing engine and belting out a beautiful symphony of snarls and growls that only Maserati knows how to deliver and turns heads wherever you go. And they certainly delivered on this car.
M5 isn't a Ferrari either but does 2.9
@@mrjon2805 you are kidding
That might be true if the build quality, reliability and technology were not horrible. When you add this to the lack luster performance it explains why no one buyers Maserati.
@@DrSteveJ-gd3gn stuck in 2016 boy
@@DrSteveJ-gd3gn porches still blow up porche haven’t fixed that yet but people still buying them, how is tech and the rest is still horrible? Hm? 14 rent free
Maserati has actually gotten much better! I hope they continue improving, especially with the lower end trims, I hope they also become more reliable.
Damn you everywhere 😐
They are reliable if you take care of them.
Are u even a Maserati fan? I’d respect you if I didn’t see nun of the shit u put
Lol this kid again the Maserati hater they been nice check out the gts models bum
This would be a perfect Autobahn machine, smooth, elegant, powerful 👌
The Ghibli is a great looking car (not like the nachos grill). It's a shame it doesn't handle as good as the GT 4door because that car looks like a hornet from the back.
Ops
Been driving the ghibli for a year and love EVERY bit of it.
Stunning. The sound is just brutal.
outside the car is sounds SICK inside its mega luxury quiet.
I can’t wait for this to depreciate!
me too. cant beat it for the resale value in beauty and performance.
Great car! Never gets tired and very stable!
Insane car and awesome brand!
Pure class.Original Italian Style. ❤
Great review!! Nicely done.
I had a Maserati Ghibli GT for 10 years. I still remember German sports cars trying to catch up with me on the autobahn. The middle acceleration was fantastic in that car. I fully agree with you that Maserati has taken another path to fill into the luxury sports sedan segment with this Trofeo. Lovely spec but just like you, I want a car that is wrapped around me and does not feel big and heavy. That’s my Giulia Quadrifoglio. It hardly better gets any better.
thanks for posting and also sharing your experience with the older Maseratis, i loved those older cars but customers in the USA hated the F1 gearbox and it turned many customers away from the cars and into more Mercedes and BMW purchases so they made the decision to transform the brand into what it is today and it has worked to make them more profitable. When I got my Alfa Romeo QV i said this was the car Maserati should have made all along but it would not fit with their brand image right now. Still interested in the new MC20 one day
Alfa Giulia and Stelvio are the best buy 😍🇮🇹😍🇮🇹😍🇮🇹😍🇮🇹
@@leonvandenbogaert9604 Yes Indeed!
Α ρε Γιωργο Giulia looks weird, the Ghibli looks great
@@autofanaticcars do you have the money for an MC20? What the hell?
Absolutely awesome!
We have an ‘18 Giulia QV and a ‘19 Ghibli S Gran Lusso (Edizione Nobile). Completely different cars for different purposes. Absolutely love them both. Definitely considering getting the Trofeo, however.
The Ghibli looks great, the Alfa looks weird, you agree?
Ghibli SQ4 is the best choice
I love that car 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gorgeous car!
LA VOGLIOOOOO !!!
Awesome video!! Awesome car!!
Awesome video, Amazing machine! It looks like you were driving in Westchester , NY lol
I just bought one of these but added the Fuoriserie Corse ($17k custom color options). After 600 miles of daily use, you finally get comfortable with the size and feel, and ohmygawd, you CAN call it a sports sedan/saloon. It does feel viscerally wrapped around you, I promise. There's very little you can throw at it on the twisties that it won't just comply with. True 50/50 weight distribution, 1.2Gs cornering ability on the 21" wheels, 1.1Gs braking ability. The thing is a beast, and it starts a conversation wherever it goes-which an RS5/S63 won't.
Beautiful!!!!
amazing !
As a fellow QV owner, I am so glad you did this video. This is Ghibli Trofeo is unique and sounds fantastic. Your QV videos are all spot on. Nice work on this video. Way off topic, thinking about the GT 350 as a summer car based on your vids. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! They are such different cars as I explain in this video and in regards to the GT350 go for it. I am going to be doing a video very soon discussing the GT350R and my Alfa Romeo QV you guys will love it so subscribe and set your notifications.
@@autofanaticcars Excellent. Can't wait to see the comparison video!
I have a 2017 Ghibli S Zenga Edition in Blu Emozione, carbon fiber trim, Skyhook Electronic Damping Control & 21" Titano wheels… it's fantastic. This 2021 Trofeo completely trumps it of course, but my complaint with the car in this vid is about it being so meticulously configured only to fail to have the Trident & Trofeo logos on headrests use actual stitching… looks a million times classier than the raised/embossed look.
Beautiful interior!
It really is!
Is better. Finally good look inside and out
Excellent review. Very true what you said about the driving experience of a car like the Giulia and other cars that have a very visceral feel when driving. Just a more raw and pure driving experience. I have a tuned Giulia 2.0 and even though it's not a QV, it's a very satisfying driving experience. You really feel connected to the car when driving. For comparison, I drove a Kia Stinger GT and that car felt like a Cadillac compared to my Giulia.
Glad you enjoyed it!
you dont know chip about what you are talking about. I had a Ghibli and the steering input was AWFUL. The engine too loud, the torque delivery just garbage. Check-engine light coming on every 3 months and the dealer wanting $1000 just to replace a screw. Best day of my life was ridding of it. And the Giulia Quad is so problematic I wouldn't own it even if you paid me to. Good luck on your chipbox, hope it stays in one piece.
@@FjordTrotter lol you aren’t a car guy if you are complaining about loud noises. Maybe if you knew how to work on your car your self too you wouldn’t have been bitching about it. Don’t neglect your car and it won’t neglect you
I'm so glad they haven't caved to the digital dash garbage yet. Nice to see some clean analogue dials.
Absolutely gorgeous car.
Yes indeed!
That machine is effin stunning.
It really is!
Beautiful machine. That’s a long distance cruiser to get you there In style.
It really is!
Really like how you kept in the lines most of the video on the road. #nystyle
So many Ghiblis on the road, I used to be in love with the car. Kinda over it now
Maserati the best !
I used to have BMW 5 series. Loved it, but it didn't have sound at all. I Had to go Mase...looking for that sound. Huge difference!! Love the raw dry angry ride with angry sounds. NO confuse = Masi 4porte GTS = very dry brutal power and sound notes. excellent top Bowers & Wilkins sound too. Beamers = much more smooth and quiet (5 series).
Awesome car.
Fantastic Car...
Maserati 🔱😍

next week I'm gonna buy quattroporte trofeo and im gonna have lot fun ....she can stay home and cry all day long lol

The Trophy of The Trofeo is picking up this Maserati 12 months later with a min. savings of 50% of current price as Depreciation sinks , sinks and sinks in. Good video...the rumble noise reminds somewhat of the Mercedes C63 AMG.
GET THE Mercedes and don't bother please!

Troppo bella
Love
I need to pay off my 17 sq4 so I can get this in a couple years for like 80-90 thousand. This is my favorite maserati right here. This is the exact spec I want also.
It’ll be worth less then that in a fee years
The nerve, comparing this to an Alfa Romeo is like comparing Mars to Earth.
WOW!
Does anyone know the name of the song at the beginning? He always has such great music.
They should have put that engine in the all new version of this car.💯
or in the alfa romeo giulia qv
Le vere auto sportive sono Italiane, questa é classe !
Maserati 🇮🇹❤️
My dream right after the Mitsubishi Lancer VI EVO
Awesome video as always. Isn't the quattroporte considered to be the S class or 7-8 series rival? I'd say the ghibli is more in size with the CLS or the 5 series, maybe the 3-4 series and equivalent as well
considering how cars are growing in size almost each generation i think the midsize and fullsize are so close its hard to tell them apart when driving. This feels just like an S63 not an E63 when driving I had them both at one time.
I would agree, and I’d take the Cls53 amg over this.
Cool! Please test Levante )
Ok this is my new dream car!
If it can actually hit 4 on the road then that’s amazing. The demon 170 is like 4 sec unprepped
Looks nice. does it go into limp mode like the others?
yes it does, but only to let the BMW and Audi fanboys catch up....
The problem with Maserati has always been the quality and reliability. The looks are great.
Right. I can't think of a sedan that came out for 2014 that still looks this good. WOW and now with a kick ass V8.
I agree it does look great and the engine is awesome
They are reliable, it is the crybabies that cop these at salvage auctions and crab online that they have issues fully linked to the scenario that put it in their hands, and the eventually get parted out to spread the disease. Or, they get a fresh one, and spike the vvt cams at a redlight, a dozen times a day. These do not get bad cylinder sleeves, weak waterpumps, a pile of chains and tensioners on the trans side of the engine, hell, they are even port injected...these are great automobiles. The one real issue- the security system has a somewhat high drain on the battery. If you know it has to be stationairy for over 2 weeks, hook up the provided battery tender.
This is great content. I used to have a Ghibli SQ4 and was curious how it compared to the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Quick question for you with all your experience.
Have you driven a Nissan GTR? If so how would you compare a 2017 GTR to the QV? I'm considering selling my GTR and picking up a QV.
The GTR is faster and of course more grip the Alfa is way more practical and easier to live with.
@@autofanaticcars thank you. What do you mean by easier to live with? I feel like the GTR has a floaty feeling that I never felt with my Ghibli or CLA AMG. I'm surprised you say the GTR had more grip 🤔. Maybe lowering springs on the GTR will solve that for me?
Wish you could drive my Alfa QV because mine is slightly modified and feels completely different than a stock one. but go drive on anyway see how you like it. the GTR is kinda heavy
@@autofanaticcars I drove one back in 2018 but have been waiting for the exposed carbon roof lol. It was supposed to launch with one in 2018 but it never came so I picked up the GTR. GTRbis only fun going 100mph which I rarely do so want to get something o can have fun driving to the grocery store...similar to my CLA AMG
It's 2 beautiful Italian cars
Beautiful car. Would be tough to get this over the M5 or M8 GC though.
Hi grwat video! Can you give me a honest comparison with the new m5 comp? Because i drove it yesterday and the day after tomorrow i will to drive this one. I know that i will feel it but i'd like to know what to expect. I heard some complains about the soft suspensions wich are the main reason why it feels bigger than it is, the m5 had very stiff suspension and feel that they will be very different.
no comparison the M5 is far more sporty in nature this is more of a high speed grand touring car. it really depends what you want in a car, the M5 also has way more tech and the AWD feature and much more so it depends what brands and cars align with your passion and interests. please comment back once you drive the Trofeo with your feedback against the M5 i would like to hear your thoughts and compare to my very own. Have fun and report back.
@@autofanaticcars yeah suspensions are definetly too soft the chassy and the engine are pretty good ( the engine is a beast ) and the car itself is very responsive for a rwd, but i don't understand why they missed the suspension. I borrowed with me a friend wich is a pilot and told me the exact same problems i found on this veichle, but it's a great car

You know that car has more than just the "1st" gear right?
❤😍
2021 is the last year to get the ferrari V8 in a Maserati....if I could purchase one for close to a 100K and update the ECM to get 620Hp,tempting.
All tuned cars should have their vin# logged to carfax with a big shortwave radio face knob, would hate to msrp finance those roasted sloppies.
Man, I wish to see this engine in Alfa Romeo.
Doug Demuro entered the chat. Maserati Ghibli: sweating heavily.
ha ha ha
Well, the Ghibli has improved a lot since then
They went about there
I love the way it looks. Not trusting the quality and reliability. For the money you pay of course.
kinda like a Brioni suit for 5 grand that starts to unthread after one trip to the dry cleaners ha ha ha
The category for this car is the m5, e63, but this is slower cause of only rwd, but purely for driving in style its a great choice( if you dont need awd tracktion ) sounds better, has more character than those.
this car feels so much bigger than a 5 and E class behind the wheel thats why i kept remarking on the S63 because it feels identical when driving
@@autofanaticcars
I tried the ghibli sq4 and it felt exactly like the competition so E or 5 series. Also lenght wise and also weight is the same, so i really dont know what you were talking aboit. Maybe you were to much focusing compare it to your gulia qv.
This Ghibli Trofeo is my dream car...as like Giulia QV 😎
How much faster this Ghibli feels compared to Giulia QV you own? In terms of overtaking power it must be a beast with all that torque ? Thanky for a video.
the Giulia QV blows the doors off the Maserati, the Ghibli is so damn big and heavy thats the issue
@@autofanaticcars thank you...cannot imagine then what Giulia GTA does 💪

And for a change you should test the Maserati Levante Trofeo. Which you like more?
the only Maserati worth talking about in regards to real performance is the MC20

😍😍😍😍😍😍
A thought - Manufacturers should offer a “North East Package”, deleat the 21” low profile tire wheel package for more “pot hole friendly” 18 inch wheel tire package. I’ve become good friends with the local tire shop replacing tires with destroyed side walls on my daughter’s car!
i agree our roads are dangerous anything above 19 is a risky these days

Can this car suites for youngsters ?
At 7:22....whose Giulia Quad ? Did the dealer have an escort for you ? Make sure you don't misbehave ?
I was wandering how I can get you're modified wash mop??
order on my website www.auto-fanatic.com il be making more end of this week
@@autofanaticcars I appreciate it brother!
Anyone notice the white residue above the exhaust tips on the driver's side at the 1:23 mark? Looks like it's maybe wax or sealant residue.
we did not detail the car the day of the video shoot so it could be wax from their prep department
@@autofanaticcars I knew it wasn't you, just another reason why I would never have a dealer prep the vehicle.
i got my car back Friday and I made sure they did not wash it i called like 5 times to emphasize that and they did listen which is great. most dealer prep departments are terrible my E60 M5 in black they ruined the paint so bad they had to reclear the hood, roof and trunk because they damaged the clear.
@@autofanaticcars I printed 3 sheets of paper that reads “Please Do Not Wash Car”, its in English and Spanish. When I get to the dealer, I tape a sheet to the windshield and to the driver’s & passenger’s door window. People think Im nutty but when it comes to my car, Im very anal about it (especially washing it). Love your channel BTW.
thats a neat idea you have there i gotta try that
“We also have fingerprints all over the car now!”
THERE, I AM FROM BRAZIL, HOW CAN I RAISE MONEY TO BUY ONE OF THESE
Trident colors? White, red, green are the colors of italian flag

V nice.... Now send me that car.......

Love how the F'n Jeep driver couldn't move over. Reason #1320 as to why we could NEVER EVER have the Autobahn here😤
...And semis. #1321 They absolutely ruin highway driving. Ironically, the heaviest object on the highway is allowed to glue it's tread on to it's tires, with no ID or serial # if the "gator" causes a highway accident or damage. Out here, it is a crusty manual car, that has the gas milage to make up for 50 mph max backroads, not quite on a direct path, but with less stops and semis.
I have a question, where is best place to buy used cars ( maserti) belarus or russia or Eu? What if the person stay in belarus for time being later to move russia
can’t wait until it’s worth 30k in 3 years.
wrong ! the trofeo is different animal its very high quality material! you can try other trims
@@roarpal6314 Interior looks dated, anyone who buys this has a dated brain
Sort of looks like the Infiniti Q50, but nicer
They should've been gave the Ghibli more HP, still beautiful tho
the hp of this car is perfect the issue is it needs to loose 800-1000lbs of weight
Honestly love it, but they need to do something about the interior
the entire Maserati range is so outdated i think 2022 will bring all new models and updates along with the MC20
@@autofanaticcars yeah, I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sports right now (second year of ownership) , and was planning on... I wouldn’t say “upgrading” (since they’re different animals) but just getting something more luxurious and comfortable and roomier yet sporty, and Maserati was a potential, but the interior just looks so outdated, kind of reminds me of a Chevy Malibu from the inside lol; fingers crossed, I’m in no rush, love my alfa
🥰🥰🥰
2014 GT owner and the one thing I really dislike is how the trident in the front grille looks so faux. It looks to be stamped from some material as an after thought rather than a piece that looks built specific and in detail. That front grille trident should have more attention to detail given to it, just my opinion...
Sounds like you just figured out a reason to get a cnc mill. Cover everything in a tarp and engrave tombstones as a main hustle.
It’s because under the logo there is the radar for ADAS
