And here we are finally with the last car from that group test back in winter (Jaguar XKR and Audi RS6 Avant beeing the others)

And if this isn't the best one

Sport GT front grille, Fuchs exhaust, amazing car! Too bad for the basic wheels, it still had winter tires :bah:

So, as I said already in the other topics probably, the Quattroporte feels MUCH faster thanks to the sporty gearbox setting and the inspiring soundtrack, but once on a stright line, it just can't much the sheer grunt of the other two which slightly leave the intalian star behind! it's kinda weird. Not a big difference, but really noticeable.
And you know what? You don't fucking care, because you know that beeing in the QP is MUCH better anyway.
I was passenger only, at the front and back, and it can be a proper limo if you want

I especially like a little button at the back that allows you to move forward the front passenger seat, to have more leg room

I didn't drive it, but it was by far the best one as an experience. gearchanges even in normal mode are very sporty, probably too much for a cruiser like many pointed out, but for a day long testdrive you can't help but love it

When you are following it in another car you realize how much presence this Maserati has and you desire one.. badly!

Sadly all of this doesn't come cheap and the QP is much more expensive than the others, and probably less comfy as a faily drive you are looking for a long distance business cruiser. But once you want to have fun.. well, you're in the right car and the Maser will never fail at it

Definitely a beautifull car to shoot and that's why there are so many pics in this indepth compared to the usual 20 or so
