German tuner Novitec definitely had a tough task on its hands when asked to improve the performance and styling of one of the best looking saloons on the market. However, it did have a few major accomplishments under its belt to back it up. These are, after all, the same guys that had the guts to modify a Ferrari Enzo and it appears that they haven’t changed the gorgeous lines of the Quattroporte.

The same can’t be said as to what’s under the hood. Engineers have optimized the car’s ECU, lifting the engine’s cutoff to 7,800rpm and increasing output to 413hp (304kW) at 7,100rpm. A new stainless steel exhaust system with two 83mm tailpipes on either side ensure power is increase right across the rev range, and also sees that torque jump to 468Nm at 4,650rpm.

The rolling stock has also come in for an upgrade, including an adjustable coil over suspension with stainless steel shock absorbers and aluminum spacers for the 20in light-alloy wheels. These are shod with 285mm Pirelli P-Zero rubber at the rear and smaller 245mm tires up front.

Not sure about the rims, but I'm glad they didn't do anything drastic to ruin the car.

Definetely not ruined. Fairly discrete.

Those wheels don't match with the design of the car. Not approved !

Wheels are no good. More power is a plus, though.

Rims are alright actually. Not too OTT. The Q'porte can easily wear any set anyway.

the car looks way better in metal, saw it few weeks ago on the road :wink:

the wheels look like the came from a riced up Civic!!

but i did like the car alot..

Not bad, not bad at all :)

i like the rims, but they don't suit the car, like a woman wearing the wrong shoes...

The only modification I see are the rims and tires. The Sport GT version wheels look way better than these. I just can't see the point of this, it would be so much easier to buy the car from Maserati and then just fit Pirelli's and a fancy aftermarket exhaust. Not that these two things are needed...

The rims would look great on somthing else i think. Now why tweak a cars looks and then make it black so you cant see any of it? lol

nothing too drastic. i like!

...still not enough power
