Maserati Quattroporte
 
Quote:
Building on the huge international success of the Maserati Quattroporte, two new versions of the model will appear on the exhibition stand.

The Quattroporte Executive GT and the Quattroporte Sport GT will take pride of place on the Maserati stand at Frankfurt in September.

Eagerly awaited as the car that would relaunch and consolidate the great Trident tradition, the Quattroporte was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motorshow in 2003. The first orders were taken the same day from clients who were immediately struck by the unmistakable style and advanced technology without ever having driven the flagship model. Since then, the Quattroporte has been a bestseller in its category on the US, European and Asian markets.

Presented as a unique saloon car with two souls: elegant and comfortable but with a sporty performance, an extensive personalisation programme was developed for the Quattroporte.

These new versions enhance the car's dual character in a very exiting manner.

Quattroporte Executive GT

Distinguished by a blend of elegant eye-catching colours and refined wood veneer finishes for the interior, the Executive GT includes the following accessories:
chrome mesh grille, side chrome grille, external identification plate, 9-spoke 19" ball-polished wheel rims, wood and leather steering wheel, roof section in Alcantara and a series of features dedicated to providing maximum comfort levels for passengers (among them comfort pack for the rear seats and stowable rear table in wood or titanium). Further personalization options are available.

Quattroporte Sport GT

The aggressive look is captured in the carbon fibre interior, 20" wheel rims with new design, external identification plate, sporty steering wheel, handbrake grip and aluminium pedal covers. Among the dynamic features, the latest gearbox software for a 35% faster shifting, new designed exhaust system delivering an even more sporty sound and specific Skyhook software for electronic suspensions and shock absorbers.

Autocar reported that Maserati confirmed the V12 engine in the 612 Scaglietti was going to be used for the Quattroporte...

Oh well, no rush... gives me time to save up... *puts £2.50 into piggy bank*

Autocar? so much for reliable source...

well, if a buick that it looks like manages to get a 428 LS7 in it, perhaps it too can join the Supersaloon-luxo box crowed :P
on second thought, they ought to hold off on that :mrgreen:

it will still be a great care with, or with the fantastic v8, or the fantastic v12 :)

What's crap about that is that it's still 2 generations behind ferrari's software

Whatever happened to the rumour that they were working on an automatic version?

The new front grille is very nice. And the Sport GT package sounds great too. :D

It's as reliable as the rumour regarding the proposed 6L V12. :(

They were both from Autocar.
