Maserati Ghibli Ermenegildo Zegna Edition concept premieres in Paris

Perhaps trying to capitalize on the French capital’s association with fashion, Maserati chose the 2014 Paris Motor Show to unveil a new version of the Ghibli sedan influenced by luxury fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna.

The Maserati Ghibli Ermenegildo Zegna Edition is technically a concept, but there’s no reason why it couldn’t go into production and satiate fans of both Italian cars and Italian suits.

The two companies previously collaborated on the Quattroporte Zegna Limited Edition, a special version of Maserati’s larger sedan that went on sale last year.

Like that car, the Ghibli Zegna Edition concept features aesthetic tweaks meant to give it an exclusive flair, including special 20-inch alloy wheels and model-specific tri-layer exterior paint.

On the inside, the Ermenegildo Zegna Edition concept features leather and Zegna yarn trim, as well as some carbon fiber.

The car is based on the Ghibli S Q4, so it’s powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

With 404 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque on tap, the S Q4 will do 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, and reach a top speed of 175 mph.

Even if the Ermenegildo Zegna Edition doesn’t go into production, those specs make the standard Ghibli pretty darn impressive.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
