This is a luxury 4-door sedan for all those driving enthusiasts. With an exterior that spell pure Italian style, the Quattroporte manufactured by Maserati is definitely one among those vehicles that guarantees an elegant and comfortable drive. The Quattroporte has witnessed five generations of cars, the latest being Quattroporte V with its improved engine and other features.
The Maserati Quattroporte V comes in four trim levels: the base Quattroporte, Quattroporte Sport GT, Quattroporte Sport GTS, and Quattroporte Executive GT. Since its introduction in 2004, the fifth generation Quattroporte has been modelled on the basis of a luxury sedan. Fitted with a 4.2 litre 400 bhp V8 engine, this vehicle produces around 250 lb-ft torque from 2500 rpm. But an increased weight from those of its predecessors results in it reaching the 0-60 mph mark in 5.2 seconds.
The car has an impressive double-wishbone suspension which gives an extremely balanced drive. Moreover, the unique Skyhook multi-mode damping control and stability control also provides for a much smoother functioning. Along with a six-speed fully automatic gearbox that also includes a manual-mode transmission is a great innovation that lends great pleasure during a drive. Carbon emissions have been kept to a minimum at 345 g/km and the whole concept is that of a reasonably fuel-efficient vehicle with an outstanding performance.
