What It’s Like Driving the World’s Fastest Sedan

Last year, one of our writers drove the fastest-accelerating car in the world, which can go 0 to 60 mph in well under two seconds. It’s electric, it looks like a spaceship out of Star Wars and it costs $2.1 million. In other words, it better be fast.

The Maserati Ghibli 334 Ultima, which Nicholas McClelland recently got behind the wheel of in the mountains of Italy, is no sci-fi supercar. It has four doors, can seat up to five and has a trunk that’ll fit your groceries just as well as a Toyota Camry. Despite its sedan configuration, it can also hit an eye-watering top speed of 208 mph.

Yes, the 334 Ultima is the new record holder for world's fastest sedan. Does it make any sense to give a four-door car this much speed? Maybe not. But as Nick explains, Maserati was compelled to create something astonishing to mark the end of an era at the historic Italian automaker.
