The Ultima editions are the final Maseratis to feature the 3.8-liter V-8, with the Ghibli becoming the world's fastest sedan with a claimed 208-mph top speed.

Will Ghibli Ultima Be the World's Fastest Sedan?

The 2024 Ghibli 334 Ultima takes the brand's smallest sedan—set to be phased out in the coming years—to the limit. No details on the V-8 were provided, but we presume the Ultima packs the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter unit from the Trofeo model, rated at 572 horsepower. The "334" in the name references the top speed in kilometers per hour, with Maserati raising the Vmax from 203 to 208 mph for the special edition.

The vivid blue paint—dubbed Scià di Persia—recalls the first roadgoing Maserati fitted with a V-8: a 1959 5000 GT painted Blu Sera for the Shah of Persia. The 334 Ultima wears carbon fiber on the front bumper, side-view mirrors, window pillars, and door handles, while "334" is painted in a red shade called Rubino on the front fender. The cabin is decked out in Pale Terracotta leather with Maserati's Trident logo and "334" stitched into the headrest.

The V-8-powered SUV rides on 22-inch wheels, and the interior mirrors the Ghibli with Pale Terracotta leather on the seats and the "V8 Ultima" logo embroidered into the headrest. Both special editions also wear an “una di 103” badge on the transmission tunnel between the seats that notes their limited production status.Maserati will build just 103 examples of the Ghibli and 206 examples of the Levante, with 103 units in each color.
