The all-new Maserati Quattroporte is scheduled to be displayed at the
Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS) in USA in January 2013 before arriving in Australia and New Zealand in the third quarter of
2013. Prices are expected to be similar to the out-going model.
“The new Maserati Quattroporte is a high-performance sports luxury sedan that reinterprets the design features of
classic Maseratis in a contemporary design language. Its style was born out of the guiding design principles of Maserati:
harmony of shapes, dynamism of lines, Italian elegance. More generous in size when compared to the previous model, the
new Quattroporte has a design that is at once graceful and sinuous, fashioned to bring out the sporty nature of the
car.”
“Some of the elements characterising the previous model have been purposely maintained: the front grille, the three
side vents, the triangular C pillar. At the same time new style and functional features were introduced: the strong belt
line that runs through the entire side of the car giving the new Quattroporte a look and feel that is at once muscular
and elegant with frameless doors and three side windows.”
“Inside, the design of the Quattroporte aims at essentiality, stressing the simplicity of lines and the full
functionality of the in-board instrumentation. Functional elements are blended with soft quality surfaces made of
prestigious woods and refined leathers.” said Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Head of Maserati Design Centre.
“The innovative Maserati proprietary engines of the all-new Maserati Quattroporte have all been designed and
developed by Maserati and Ferrari engineers in the heart of Italy’s motor valley. As a matter of fact, they are going to
be produced in the Ferrari plant in Maranello that has been synonymous with cutting-edge technology and passion for well
over 60 years.”
“Passion is indeed the middle name of a whole new generation of Maserati engines that will equip the all-new
Maserati Quattroporte and the models that will soon follow her on the market. The passion and state-of-the-art technology
that is at the heart of all the new Maserati engines that will be mounted on the next generation of Maserati products
have produced engines that are not only more powerful than ever, or more exciting to drive than ever – bust also more
eco-friendly than ever before.” said Paolo Martinelli, Maserati Powertrain Director.
“Refined technical solutions, an explicit attention to the most challenging targets in terms of performance,
comfort, efficiency and safety – these are the key elements of the all-new Maserati Quattroporte.”
“Maserati engineers have worked - with a competence matched only by their passion – in chassis designing and
engineering, weight reduction, ergonomic enhancement to develop a car capable of fitting different powertrain
architectures and transmission configurations for the most diverse driving conditions but always maintaining Maserati’s
trademark best-in-class driving comfort.”
“The results is the all-new Maserati Quattroporte, a luxury sports sedan that reaches new heights in terms of
performance and handling, driving enjoyment as well as respect of the world we live in: the best performance ever in the
long history of Maserati’s four-door flagship sedan are matched by the unprecedented success in the quest for an
eco-friendly automobile. All this done, of course, as you may expect from Maserati, in the spirit of the most severe
active and passive safety conditions.” said Roberto Corradi, Maserati Vehicle Development Director.
