Maserati Ghibli (2013 - III) 3.8 V8 Bi-turbo (Trofeo) 580 hp — luxury petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis group (Италия, 1914). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 580 to 620 hp (+40 hp, +7%) and torque from 730 to 800 Nm (+70 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch MED17.3.4, Bosch MED17.3.5. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. The ZF 8HP70 TCU is calibrated with a separate file — torque limiter and shift maps for Stage 1. In the CHIPOK database: 3 configurations · 3 ECU variants. The 2013 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.
The Maserati range comprises the Quattroporte, Ghibli, Levante, GranTurismo and MC20. The Maserati MC20 is the brand's flagship supercar, powered by its own Nettuno engine. Maserati is an Italian premium-luxury manufacturer from Modena, founded in 1914. Maserati shared engines with Ferrari (naturally aspirated V8) until 2020. The factory Maserati calibration is sporty-premium; headroom for Stage 1 remains. Maserati's petrol range comprises premium turbo engines and naturally aspirated V8s.
The Maserati community is a premium-luxury chip tuning niche. With the right hardware, Maserati engines comfortably reach Stage 2. Top-tier Maserati engines sit at the power ceiling of the premium segment; the gain is significant. A Bench read is standard procedure on modern Maseratis.
Top-tier Maserati models come with a reinforced ZF 8HP. Maserati uses the ZF 8HP — a premium 8-speed automatic. The MC20 uses a dual-clutch automated gearbox.
