Maserati and affordable are rarely ever used together. Even less so are Maserati and diesel. The new Maserati Ghibli is an exception to these traditions. The Ghibli with a diesel engine was launched earlier this year to take on the German triumverate of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. The Ghibli is priced at Rs 64 lakh (plus duties), which makes it the cheapest Maserati currently on sale. But that doesn't stop it from looking typically exquisite both on the outside and inside. Don't believe us? Take a look yourself.
