Say take care of the brand new Maserati Quattroporte – The lightest and most powerful Quattroporte ever built. In a nutshell: The most powerful sedan in the world.
As we know, all the material from the city of Maranello breathes power and efficiency. Roberto Corradi, director of automotive development at Maserati says: “Maserati and Ferrari engineers have been working on the chassis design and other engineering in order to reduce weight and improve ergonomics, thus developing a structure capable of having different engines. and transmissions for the most diverse types of driving“.
He also stresses that, “Maserati will continue to be the best in class in terms of driving comfort“. The Italian luxury brand also collaborated with the brand of the rampante horse, Ferrari, to jointly create the new engine, a V8 block, which will be available in this Quattroporte and which will be the most ecological ever.
According to the manufacturer, the Quattroporte will be a reinterpretation of the classic Maseratis. In our eyes, and bearing in mind that Maserati has so far only produced absolutely beautiful vehicles, we have no problem stating that this one will continue the tradition… it is in plain sight. The Quattroporte is now a little more current boasting a more fluid line where the similarities with the GranTurismo coupe are notorious.
The Maserati Quattroporte will continue to have a large front, the three side openings and the triangular C-pillar are still there, and as the little things are meant to be noticed, this boy now comes with frameless doors.
The head of the design centre, Lorenzo Ramaciotti says: “Inside the Quattroporte breathes simplicity and bets on on-board instrumentation, the surfaces are smooth and of high quality“, adding, “only prestigious woods and refined leathers were used“.
Maserati, with the launch of three new models in two new market segments, estimates that 50 thousand units will be sold by 2015. And considering that the trident brand has already lived in such a beautiful machine, we don't care a thing about the arrival of some more.
Let them come, we will be here to receive them.
