The Maseratti Quattroporte has undergone a substantial restyling after three and a half years of success in the international markets with over 24,000 deliveries in 72 countries. The updated model will be available from June 2016.
In terms of design the new Quattroporte receives a new bumper with matte black profile at the front and the matte black extractor at the rear. The front grille is more proeminent and features new vertical chrome elements. It has been fitted with an electrically adjustable Air Shutter between the air vents and the engine’s radiator which helps to improve the car's aerodynamic. Other modifications include matte black side skirts and the exterior mirrors, which have been slightly restyled to incorporate new technical elements.
Inside
Maserati has redesigned the central dashboard that now features a high resolution 8.4” screen with multi touch function. Besides the screen the dashboard also integrates a climate control and a new drawer. The new infotainment system is compatible with both the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring functions.
All engine options of the Quattroporte will now be sold with two trim levels: GranLusso and GranSport. This is part of a new strategy from Maserati to offer additional choice to its customers while buying the brand's flagship. The GranLusso and GranSport are immediately recognisable thanks to their distinct exterior design and unique interiors. While the GranLusso focuses on luxury, the Gran Sport focuses on giving a sporty character to the Quattroporte.
The engine range continues to be composed by the Quattroporte GTS, Quattroporte S, Quattroporte and Quattroporte Diesel. The Quattroporte GTS is powered by a 530hp 3.8-litre Ferrari V8 Twin-Turbo engine. This rear wheel drive version can reach 310km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4-7 seconds.
The Quattroporte S is equipped with a 3.0-litre Ferrari V6 Twin Turbo engine with 410hp. It is available with rear or all-wheel drive (Q4). Both versions can reach a top speed of 286km/h, the S Q4 can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds, while the rear wheel drive Quattroporte S version does it in 5.1 seconds.
A 275hp 3.0-litre V6 Turbo diesel version powers the Quattroporte Diesel and can go from 0 to 100km/h in 6.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 252km/h.
All versions of the Quattroporte are fitted with state-of-the-art ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.
