I’ve never liked reviewing things I like to do. I’d rather sit back and enjoy a movie or a restaurant or a trip to Cannes ...

Take it out on the open road, though, and you'll see that the Ghibli is every bit a proper Maserati and sports car.

Until Maserati itself revealed the second-generation GT in late 2022, it seemed even the Trident itself forgot it had built much of its 77-year road-car history on big, front-engined grand tourers.
