The Maserati Quattroporte is part of a story that dates back over 100 years. It’s a story of endurance. Of embracing challenge. Of going the distance and winning. And doing it all in audacious Italian style. Luxury, scale and space meet phenomenal dynamic capabilities in the Maserati Quattroporte – and it’s all perfectly expressed by its stately yet dynamically intense exterior.

The front is dominated by the grille bearing the iconic Trident. Inspired by the Alfieri concept, its deepcut design creates a predatory shark-nose effect. The imposing presence is brought into even sharper focus by stylish new Full-LED Adaptive headlights. To the rear, quad chrome tailpipes signpost the continent-crossing power.

The interior of the Maserati Quattroporte is a profoundly engaging place to be – on two levels. On the one hand, there is the awareness and the experience of massive performance. On the other, there’s meticulously crafted comfort, technological convenience and peerless Italian style. The seats, upper dashboard and armrests are finished in fine leather, while detailing in Radica open-pore wood provides a graceful contrast. The front seats feature 12-way power adjustment and heating, while a memory function reconfigures the driver’s seat, steering wheel and door mirror positions to precise personal settings.

For those who prefer still more in the way of luxury from their Maserati Quattroporte, there’s the GranLusso trim. Exclusive exterior refinements include a discreet front spoiler, chrome bumper inserts, body-coloured side skirts and GranLusso badges on the wings. There are also impressive 20” Mercurio light alloy wheels with brake calipers in black.

Another option with the Maserati Quattroporte is the GranSport trim, which focuses more squarely on dynamic style. This features boldly sculpted angles for the central front and side intakes, and a lower section equipped with aerodynamic splitters. The centre spoiler and side inserts, meanwhile, are finished in Black Piano. The Quattroporte GTS GranSport increases the overt sporting demeanour with a new specific front grille and side skirts.

The flagship Quattroporte engine is fitted to the GTS version.
This is a magnificent 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8, developing output of 530 CV at 6,500-6,800 rpm. Torque is equally impressive at 710 Nm, available between 2,250 and 3,500 rpm in overboost mode. The GTS reaches 100 km/h from a standing start in a breathtaking 4.7 seconds and powers to a top speed of 310 km/h.
