The most noticeable new feature is the front grille that mimics the GranTurismo's vertical slat design.Both front and rear lights have also been updated with LEDs. Inside, the center console has been reorganized and a new Maserati Multim

Maserati has tampered with the Quattroporte, a sedan that inspires visceral, carnal automotive lust wildly out of proportion with its size and door count. Perhaps fearing cries of "blasphemy!" the factory proffered these historic precedents: DaVinci's do-over of his "Virgin of the Rocks" masterpiece and Henri Matisse's reinterpretation of "Le Luxe."Well, okay, in that context, we might forgive Pin
Maserati Quattroporte (2008) promo video has been released by Maserati. The 2008 Maserati Quattroporte promo video shows that the new model was unveiled at the end of last month.
The new version of Maserati Quattroporte comes equipped with a 4.7 liter engine, rather than the previous 4.2 and outputs 430 hp.
Last week we brought you the first batch of images and details on the new Quattroporte and Quattroporte S from Maserati. Since we've received requests from several Autoblog readers that we give them a heads-up on events we're attending, and as eager as we always are to please, we're headed off next week to Europe to sample the latest from the master motor craftsmen at Maserati. Until we get a cha
How to ruin a $100,000+ Maerati QuattroporteSeems some Saudi Arabian fool with too much oil money and not enough taste has plastered his Quattroporte in what appears to be perforated Burberry-plaid gift-wrap paper. WTF?
Arguably the most desirable saloon in the world today, the Maserati Quattroporte, has gone under the knife for it's mid-life nip and tuck. The changes made to the shape are quite minimal (thank god), and mainly comprise of a revised...

A while back Gear Patrol brought you a post on the Maserati GranTurismo S. The coupe is undoubtedly gorgeous, but honestly its four door brother, the new 2009 Quattroporte S has always been dearer to my heart, no less caused by my affinity for over-powered European sport sedans. Well, my vice [...]
The Maserati Quattroporte looks set for a more extensive facelift than we were expecting, if these latest spy shots from Italy are anything to go by. Our spies say they’ve not seen such heavy cladding on a Quattroporte prototype before, which suggests that the 2010 model’s front end will be heavily reworked. A new-look grille should bring the Quattroporte’s looks in line with that of it
Outre ses splendides réalisations, le carrossier Milanais Touring, apparu en 1926, doit sa renommée à son procédé de fabrication de châssis tubulaires "Superleggera", garantissant aux modèles qui l'employèrent une redoutable légèreté. Cette technique, dont le nom est aujourd'hui remis au goût du jour par Lamborghini, a donné naissance à nombre de chef-d'œuvres, parmi lesquels les BMW 328, Alfa Romeo 8C 2900, Lancia Flamina GT ou encore Aston Martin DB4. Disparu depuis, Touring est revenu sous les projecteurs en 2006 avec le rachat des droits de la marque par le groupe Zeta Europe BV.Bien décidée à refaire briller son mythique blason, la Carrozzeria fera concourir dès ce week-end au Concours d'Elégance de la Villa d'Este, sur les rives du Lac de Côme, une Maserati Quat

In 2004, Maserati started production of the Pininfarina-designed Quattroporte, with the same 4.2 L engine as the Coupé, Spyder and the new GranTurismo but improved to 400 hp (SAE) (298 kW). Due to its greater weight than the Coupé and Spyder, the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time for the Quattroporte is 5.2 seconds. The Quattroporte was unveiled to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 9, 2003 and made its US première at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance. It is a continuation of the long tradition of Quattroporte luxury sedans in the Maserati line-up.The 47% front / 53% rear weight distribution (with the DuoSelect transmission) allows the large sedan to have very nimble handling. This weight distribution is achieved by setting the engine further back in the chassis behind
We just got information about this new version of the Q-Porte, the Quattroporte Sport GT S, a couple of weeks ago and now we have a few live shots and our personal reactions to add. First off, it's really hard to even notice that this is a new Quattroporte, when there are three GranTurismos ten feet over from it. Not that the Q-Porte isn't a fine vehicle, but OMG that GT is sex on wheels. The QP is a great sedan (especially in Sport GT guise) and this new Sport GT S has a few minor but important upgrades over already improved Sport GT that should make this an even better driver's car. The problem is that there are very few exterior differences to tip you off that this is the all-new sportiest version. Or rather, they are too subtle to really notice. Not that there's anything wrong with the shape (or the details for that matter), but it's not like the jump, say, Ferrari made in taking an F430 and turning it into a Scuderia.
Essas são as primeiras imagens dessa versão bem apimentada do Maserati Quattroporte, que estará exposto no Salão de Frankfurt. Nessa versão surgem então algumas pequenas modificações estéticas, para torná-lo diferenciado. Que belo carro!

Maserati will be unveiling the Quattroporte Sport GT S at the IAA (Frankfurt) next month. The Sport GT S is based on the Quattroporte Sport GT, but adds a few performance tweaks both outside and the mechanism. The 'S' means dynamic behavior and uncompromised handling according to Maserati.
The changes on the exterior are: black metallic paint, black mesh grille, and black window trim and
Maserati is one of the great names in the history of motor sport. Its heyday was the 1950s but it is a world champion – in FIA GT racing – even today. The irony is that the marque’s revival over the last few years came from the involvement of Ferrari, Maserati’s old rival on the [...]
If there’s one sedan that you shouldn’t mess around with its appearance, that’s the Maserati Quattroporte and thank God, Novitec limited its actions to the 20-inch multi-spoke rims in 245/35 Pirelli P-Zero rubber up front and 285/30 at the rear axle along with the stainless steel 2×83mm outlets of the exhaust pipe left and right.
Shot story about Maserati Quattroporte
The Maserati Quattroporte is a luxury four-door sedan made by Maserati of Italy. The name translated from Italian literally means “four doors“. There have been five generations of the car, each separated by a period of roughly five years.
In 2004, Maserati started production of the Pininfarina-designed Quattroporte, with the same 4.2 L engine as the Coup?, Spyder and the new GranTurismo but improved to 400 hp (SAE) (298 kW). Due to its greater weight than the Coup? and Spyder, the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time for the Quattroporte is 5.2 seconds. The Quattroporte was unveiled to the world at the Frank
Tiene el exquisito acabado propio de una berlina de representación. Sin embargo, el componente deportivo y su forma de enfrentarse al asfalto le dan ese toque especial que hace de él un modelo singular. Maserati es una marca que desde sus inicios ha estado involucrada en la competición y esos genes no se pueden obviar así como así.Por ello, cuando en 1963 se presentó el Quattroporte, el primer gran turismo de lujo de este fabricante, los responsables de la compañía presumieron de tener la berlina más rápida del mundo.Desde entonces la firma italiana ha pasado por diferentes vicisitudes, pero ni en los peores momentos de crisis se desvió un ápice de la trayectoria que tanta fama le dio en las pistas, poniendo siempre en el mercado coches con unas cualidades dinámicas ligadas inevitablemente a su esencia deportiva. La primera versión del Quattroporte, que dos años después de su lanzamiento recibió la variante automática, estuvo a la venta hasta 1971. Después, le han se
For the last 40 years, Maserati has delighted us with one or two generations of their unique grand touring sedan. Several famous designers have worked during the years to dress the finest Italian sedan in the finest Italian clothing. Successively, Giorgetto Giugiaro, Alejandro de Tomaso and Marcello Gandini shaped-up the image we have in the back of our heads when we think "Quattroporte."
