We knew it was coming, and here it is: the 2014 Maserati Ghibli (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ghibli/). Maserati's plan of selling 50,000 cars per year by 2015 (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/28/leak-confirms-maserati-product-plans-five-new-models/) starts with the Ghibli, which will be positioned in a more volume-friendly market against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/) and BMW 5 Series (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/5+series/). The Ghibli will make its official debut later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/shanghai-motor-show/).

Although our first look at Maseati's newest sedan is limited to just three images, we can see that the car will have a sportier exterior design than its bigger brother, the Quattroporte (http://www.autoblog.com/maserati/quattroporte/), to go with an equally luxurious interior. Under its long, sleek hood, Maserati (http://www.autoblog.com/maserati/) has confirmed that the Ghibli will utilize a pair of 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engines - one gas and one diesel - both mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions. A rear-wheel-drive configuration will be standard, and the Italian automaker's new Q4 all-wheel-drive system will be available.
