After completion, the Ghibli is subjected to all manner of quality control tests, looking at everything
from the integrity of its weatherproofing to its handling on different road surfaces. Each car is
tested on a wide mix of different local roads, including mountains, motorways and city streets. Each
car goes through another series of 24 checkpoints before it is checked again by an independent
contractor, who double checks the vehicle one more time. Finally, senior Maserati inspectors go over
the vehicle with a white-glove treatment, wrapping it in a protective covering before it makes its
way to the importer ... then to the dealer and, ultimately, the customer. It is this kind of care and
pride-in-presentation that is second to none.
