2016 Maserati Quattroporte

To master an art with passion, inspiration and imagination, this is Maserati. The Quattroporte with its 330 hp entry-level engine delivers refined luxury paired with an unmistakably sporty personality. This is obvious at first glance: Muscular lines and charismatic forms meet elegant contours, that envelope a generous interior where in the finest traditions of Italian craftsmanship, only the highest quality materials are used.

ELEGANT AND DYNAMIC, ÚNCONVENTIONALLY SPORTY
Passion is never commonplace. The Quattroporte's striking front view is dominated by its stretched bonnet leading back from the traditional Maserati oval radiator grille with the chromed Trident at its centre. A tribute to the GranTurismo and other acclaimed Maserati model designs.

SINÚOÚS, STRIKING FRONT LIGHTS
Either side of the radiator grille, the tall headlights almost merge into the line of the sides, which starts from the familiar three air vents behind the front mudguards and runs on in a sequence of muscular curves. The front's aggressive air is underlined by the line of the LED daylights, a stylistic and functional feature that gives the car an extremely modern character.

THE INTEGRAL REAL SPOILER HIGHLIGHTS A ÚNIQÚE SILHOÚETTE
The marque's typical triangular C-pillar features the oval 'Saetta' logo, a detail drawn from the Maserati tradition and featured on all generations of the Quattroporte. The boot features an integral spoiler designed to generate downforce at high speeds. The spokes of the 19' Tritone wheels - supplied as standard - resemble the prongs of the Trident badge: a unique combination of strength and elegance.

LÚXÚRY EXPRESSED THROÚGH ELEGANT SIMPLICITY
The interior of the Quattroporte is designed like an exclusive lounge: the intuitive on-board controls offer themselves to the occupants with discretion, taking care not to detract from the real protagonists: the surfaces and materials. The dashboard, divided horizontally into three levels, features a broad central band across the entire width of the car, with the large Maserati Touch Control touchscreen display in the centre.


A LOÚNGE SHAPED BY STYLE AND FINE TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP
The fine wood and the stitching, styled in keeping with the purest hand-crafted tradition, seamlessly continue the sleek lines of the dashboard, the central tunnel and the doors, enveloping the passengers in an atmosphere of luxury. The standard version offers finishes in Radica, an exquisite open-pore wood with knots and vein patterning for an added air of exclusiveness and sophistication.



DRIVEN BY THE MOST INNOVATIVE GENERATION OF ENGINES IN MASERATI'S HISTORY
The Quattroporte's innovative 3-litre Twin Turbo V6 engine delivers the sporty temperament of 330 hp, while its design reduces fuel consumption and emission. The Twin Turbo minimizes any 'turbo lag effect' and provides excellent responsiveness, while the high-pressure direct injection (200 bar) improves combustion at high revs.

AMAZING TORQÚE PROVIDES EXCITING ACCELERATION
The versatile V6 unit that equips the Quattroporte thrills whenever the driver steps on the accelerator, with the power coming through loud and clear. In Sport mode, the peak torque is 500 Nm. Accompanied by the unmistakable Maserati sound, the Quattroporte sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.

LIGHTER, MORE EFFICIENT GEAR CHANGES
The Quattroporte makes the most of its modern, automatic, 8-speed ZF transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Light and precise gear shifts are delivered by the auto-adaptive software that recognises individual driving styles and tweaks the type of shift accordingly. There are five modes to choose from and these can be selected by pushing the tunnel-mounted buttons: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport and the all-new I.C.E. for more efficiency.

DÚAL-CAST BRAKES
The Brembo brakes on the Quattroporte were created to optimise weight and guarantee high performance under intensive use. A six-piston monoblock is mounted up front and acts on 360 x 32 mm discs, with four-piston units and 350 x 28 mm discs at the rear. The forged and ventilated discs boast dual-cast technology that unites the benefits of cast iron with lightweight aluminium.

A PERSONALIZATION PROGRAMME PÚSHES BACK THE FRONTIERS OF EXCLÚSIVENESS
A masterpiece of Italian style, where the last touch of class is added by the client: the colours and materials that define the interior can be chosen with a tailor-made approach, to create a car that truly reflects its driver's personality.

CONCERT-HALL ACOÚSTICS THANKS TO THE BOWERS & WILKINS PREMIÚM SOÚND SYSTEM
Those in search of concert-hall acoustics on the Quatrroporte have only to order the optional new-generation Premium Surround system, created in association with high-end sound specialists Bowers & Wilkins. The system, with a 16-channel 1,280 Watt amplifier and 15 speakers, blends perfectly into the design of the interior and guarantees unparalleled sound with unbeatable dynamic purity.

HARMAN KARDON PREMIÚM SOÚND SYSTEM
For music connoisseurs seeking more power, more dynamism and an extra dimension of emotion the Harman Kardon Premium Sound System brings new levels of audio refinement to the Maserati Quattroporte. Útilising the very latest in digital technology, a state-of-the-art 12-channel Class-D amplifier lies at the heart of this system, delivering stupendous sound quality, whatever the source. With 10 high-powered speakers throughout the cabin, the system produces 360 degrees of sublime sound reproduction despite the listeners` seating position.

WHERE LÚXÚRY MEETS THRILLS
Those in search of an even more sporty look for their car's interior can order the trims in carbon fibre, in a special gloss finish. Additional options include aluminium gear shift paddles, mounted behind the steering wheel and integrated in the steering column, and the sporty brushed steel foot pedals with special rubber inserts.

ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA DRESSED MASERATI
Maserati and Ermenegildo Zegna have teamed up to produce one of the most exclusively designed cars ever: the Zegna Edition Quattroporte, the ultimate expression of style and exclusivity with a dynamic and detailed look that is perfect for contemporary style lovers.

TRÚE LÚXÚRY IS DERIVED FROM THE SÚPREME MASTER: NATÚRE
Maserati will offer three different Ermenegildo Zegna-designed interiors for the Quattroporte, consisting of Zegna Mulberry Silk natural fibre inserts on the seats, door panels, roof lining, sunshades and ceiling light fixture and a choice of colour combinations that capture organic hues of tan, red, and grey.

The flagship of the Maserati product range, the Quattroporte is larger, lighter, more luxurious and more practical than the globally acclaimed car it replaces. With a 307km/h top speed, it's also as fast as most two-door supercars.

The sixth-generation Quattroporte delivers a leap forward that not only sets the high-technology tone for Maserati's upcoming new-model onslaught, but also remains faithful to Maserati's long history in luxury sports sedans.



Even with all of its new technology, the new Quattroporte remains true to Maserati's roots. Its V8 twin turbo makes it not only the fastest four-door Maserati ever built, but also the most powerful and the most economical as well.

The direct-injection engine family will boast a 3.8-litre V8 and a 3.0-litre V6, both of which are all new, twin turbo charged, designed by Maserati Powertrain and assembled by Ferrari at Maranello.



With an eight-speed automatic transmission and both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations(V6), it is also the most secure all-weather performance car in Maserati's history.

To offset its scintillating performance, the V8 Maserati Quattroporte has lowered both its fuel consumption and emissions by 20 percent over the outgoing Quattroporte.

The all-new architecture retains the Quattroporte's traditionally exquisite handling thanks to its 50:50 weight distribution, a double-wishbone front suspension and a state-of-the-art five-link rear suspension. It can now deliver the added security and all-weather assurance of all-wheel drive as well.

It also delivers new standards in quality in every area from design, development, fabrication and process controls. It is produced in a new plant that combines Maserati's traditions of craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies that are able to guarantee outstanding quality by controlling even the tiniest details.

Traditional hand crafted detailing continues in the Quattroporte's cabin, and this has been added to with even more interior space in all seats and both four- and five-seat layouts.

Cabin luxury leaps forward technically, too, with features like the Maserati Touch Control screen, adjustable pedals (left hand drive only), reversing cameras and the optional 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, as well as WLAN-based WiFi and compatibility with most modern mobile phone systems.

With the original Quattroporte in 1963, Maserati invented the concept of the luxury sports sedan and the new Quattroporte continues to be the benchmark for high quality engineering, supercar performance and limousine comfort.
