The Engine
The Maserati Biturbo-Shamal Project MA-01 by Modena Automobili mounts the engine of Maserati Ghibli S a V6 3.0 liters Twin Turbo upgraded to 500 HP. The engine accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 285 km/h.
The Maserati Ghibli S engine has been jointly engineered by FERRARI and MASERATI.
Gearbox
Project MA-01 not only mounts the Maserati Ghibli S engine but also its ZF 8 speed sequential automatic transmission that has a special calibration that allows gear shifts in only 150 milliseconds. The ZF gearbox provides also great comfort making driving smooth and fuel consumption and CO2 emissions optimization.
