Maserati’s Ghibli will have a diesel version

Maserati and Ford will have new vehicles on display at the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show. In Maserati’s booth, the company’s first diesel variant, the 2014 Ghibli, will make its show debut. Ford, on the other hand, has surrounded its latest concept model with equal measures of mystery and promotion. The U.S. automaker is not providing any information except to say the model is an “exciting concept vehicle,” which will show its face for the first time in Shanghai. One of the largest exhibitors at the Asian event, Ford’s 21,000-square-foot space will feature the Mondeo, CTCC race car, the Fiesta ST, plus a variety of safety displays and fuel-efficient vehicles.

Concept Cars: Video

In addition to Ford and Maserati, Japanese automaker Acura will host a huge display area at the Shanghai event. Earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, Acura showed off its crown jewel of the moment, the NSX Hybrid concept car. The brief video clip above offers a 360-degree walk-around of the stunning 2015 hybrid, which will be produced in Marysville, Ohio.

The scientific wonder of a ride has no official price as yet, though Honda spokespersons have hinted that the sticker will almost certainly be in the low six-digit category. When the NSX reaches showrooms in time for the 2015 model year, it will mark the first specialty sports vehicle that Honda has manufactured outside Japan. The all-wheel drive beauty will feature a mid-engine design and a hybrid powertrain.

Shanghai Auto Show

The 2014 Maserati Ghibli will be the brand’s first-ever diesel vehicle. Even though the company has already unveiled the new Ghibli, Shanghai will mark its official auto show debut. Ghibli will be offered with a choice of all-wheel or rear-wheel drive, but Maserati spokespersons are mum on pricing info for now. Total driving range and mileage ratings are also expected to be announced during or shortly after the Shanghai Auto Show.
