Notes
Alongside the the 1995 Ghibli II 2.0 litre V6 a Ghibli GT version was released, which included some detailed styling changes, new 7 spoke alloys and a driver's air bag.  In 1996 a 2.8 litre V6 version of the car was released and this version of the car continued until the end of its production in 1998.  However, two special 2.0 litre cars were produced from 1996.  The first of these the 'Primatist' replaced the 2.0 litre Ghibli GT and was designed to celebrate the world record breaking performance of a boat with the same name which set 2 new world speed records - the boat being powered by a marine version of the engine used to power the Ghibli 'Open' Cup race car. The Ghibli 'Primatist' of which some 35 were made was produced in 1997 and 1998 and retained the same output as the 2.0 litre Ghibli GT.   The third car produced from 1996 to 1998 was the Ghibli Cup.  This was a 2.0 litre V6 which shared the broad mechanicals of the Ghibli 'Open' Cup race car and the high performance 2.0 litre engine, but was in road-going form.  Some 60 of these cars were made and included in this total were a few powered by the 2.8 litre V6 in a much milder state of tune.  The end of production of these cars, particularly the Ghibli Cup, has stimulated the development of a similar car by Campara a respected 'shop' in Modena with a long association with Maserati - some photographs of this version are shown below.
