2010 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S revealed

hks786 · 12-22-2008, 06:20 AM

The technical changes to the new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S in respect to the Quattroporte S concern four areas:

- the mapping of the V8 4.7 litre engine, with power increased to 323kW;
- the gearshift management software, with new features designed to increase driving enjoyment;
- the front and rear suspension system featuring single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and lower ride height;
- the sports exhaust controlled by pneumatic valves for a deep, throaty and captivating sound.

The sportier and more aggressive look is also evident due to the interior and exterior stylistic choices:

- the new black grille with concave vertical fins featuring the Trident logo with red accents, typical of the sportier versions of Maserati models;
- the new headlights, in metallic titanium finish;
- the side and rear "shadow line", which includes black finishing around the doors, body-coloured door handles and black twin oval exhaust pipes;
- the new M-design seats with perforated Alcantara® and leather upholstery;
- the standard trim in Titantex, a "titanium coloured" composite material.

Maserati and Aston Martin are the two brands where every single vehicle is just absolutely stunning.

+1

Although Aston designs are starting to bore me even though I never thought it was impossible! I really have respect for the AMV8. I love the proportions and everything is PERFECT!

i like it. i was thinking about buying a quattroporte for a daily driver a while back. i like the design.

Joonsup · 12-22-2008, 03:25 PM

My old roomate had an 06 or 07 quattroporte and the engine sounded amazing. However the only beef I had with that car was the transmission was very sluggish and too much body roll. I'm going to assume that on the new ones they arent like that?

real beauty!

I'm not a fan of the Quattroporte. The Maser GT only does so much for me.

I love this thing even more now.
