THE NEW QUATTROPORTE
By Maserati
Racebred engineering in a luxury sedanSince 1963
From
the triple air vents in the front wing to the triangular C-pillar, there are
many thoughtful design cues to remind you of Maserati’s rich heritage. Yet it’s
to the credit of the Maserati design team that the design of the Quattroporte
Diesel manages to be both original and authentic. The snarling grille is
dominated by the Maserati trident badge and flanked by LED-lined headlights
which merge into the line of the front wings. The profile is clean, curvaceous
and dominated by the strong bonnet line, emphasising the Maserati performance
heritage.
The
interior expresses contemporary luxury through the use of fine materials and
restrained design. 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 middle. It feels like
every surface that’s not trimmed in fine wood is covered in soft Poltrona Frau®
leather. Maserati claim the result is like an exclusive lounge, and the cabin
of the Quattroporte is certainly a delightful place in which to spend a long
journey.
New GranLusso and GranSport trim options
GranLusso: Irresistible style and enhanced exclusivity
Those who seek even more exclusivity and lavish luxury in their Quattroporte can opt for the unrestrained opulence of the GranLusso trim, with an interior styled and appointed by the leading fashion house of Ermenegildo Zegna. Exquisite Italian Zegna silk, colours and top class materials combine to generate an absolute masterpiece of taste and refinement – Maserati being the only brand in the world to feature bespoke silk interiors. Other GranLusso enhancements to the cabin include a wood and leather steering wheel, wood trim, power foot pedals, a power rear sunblind, four-zone climate control, and heated rear seats. On the outside, for an even more luxurious look, the bumper inserts are in chrome, and there are body coloured sideskirts, black brake calipers and elegant 20” Mercurio wheels.

GranSport: A sporty appearance all your own
For individuals of a sporting disposition who want their Quattroporte to reflect their more athletic lifestyles, there is the highly distinctive and dramatic GranSport trim. Exterior enhancements include front and rear new sports bumpers with exclusive black gloss features, body coloured sideskirts, 21” Titano wheels, and red brake callipers. Inside, the cabin benefits from special sports seats, gearshift paddles, Inox sport foot pedals, a new sports steering wheel, and Piano black trim.
GranSport: carbon fibre, outside and in
The
Quattroporte can be made even more dynamic with exterior and interior Carbon
packages. The exterior package features the door mirrors, door handles and
central pillars all in sporty carbon fibre, whilst the interior package
comprises carbon fibre steering wheel, door sills, and internal trim. Both packages
can be ordered individually or together for the Quattroporte, and also with the
GranSport trim, which then includes the front bumper profile in carbon fibre,
too.
Uncompromising style.
Unparalleled performance.
In
Quattroporte, Maserati has created a unique and exclusive car, designed for the
discerning tastes of entrepreneurial pioneers and business trailblazers – high
achievers who relish the unconventional and avant-garde. Naturally, for such a
demanding clientele, Quattroporte is available in a number of different guises
and with three inspirational engines.
Eight-speed transmission and skyhook suspension: supreme onboard comfort and sheer driving pleasure
The sophisticated design of the eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox ensures precise gearchanges and exceptional performance, and comfortably manages the prodigious power of the different engines. Mounted behind the engine, it is assisted by auto-adaptive software that is able to recognise the way the car is being driven, and modifies the shifting pattern for each individual driver. There are five operating modes, selected using the buttons near the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport, and Increased Control & Efficiency (I.C.E) for a better control in any weather conditions and the most comfortable and quietest engine response, along with minimal fuel consumption. Upshifts are all automatic unless a manual mode is selected.
INTERIOR
In the front or in
the rear, relax in the lap of luxury
To
ensure the comfort of its distinguished guests, the Quattroporte wants for
nothing, and in terms of materials and equipment only the best will do: premium
Italian leathers, fine woods, handcrafted stitching, the very latest in
high-tech instrumentation and exclusive Ermenegildo Zegna Silk Edition
interiors.
The
sensation of wellbeing begins with the 12-way power adjustable leather front
seats that ensure the perfect driving position. Ahead of the driver, on the
central console, there is the very latest touch-screen infotainment system with
an additional rotary control, along with a handy new phone storage box.
Meanwhile, the multifunction steering wheel is a model of ergonomic efficiency
and provides a highly tactile grip.
Equal attention has been focused on the occupants of the rear seats, as well. The standard Quattroporte comes with a supremely comfortable, asymmetrically folding, hand-stitched leather rear bench seat for three people, complete with a central armrest that contains a USB point and a 12V socket. The overall spaciousness of the Quattroporte is enhanced by the sleek lines of the broad dashboard, its central tunnel, and its large doors, so that all onboard are enveloped in an atmosphere of complete luxury.
Safety
Priority number one: protection for all
In designing the Quattroporte, Maserati made safety the number one priority. To provide the best possible protection for its occupants it features the latest-generation airbags and numerous state-of-the-art safety systems and devices.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Regardless
of the weather conditions, Adaptive Cruise Control constantly monitors the
amount of space between Quattroporte and the vehicle ahead, maintaining a
constant pre-set distance. If traffic slows or another vehicle moves in front,
it slows the car down by coasting or engaging the brakes. Conversely, when the
vehicle ahead speeds up or moves into another lane, the system accelerates up
to the pre-set speed.Interior luxury
Lane Departure Warning System
Thanks to a camera located in the interior rear-view mirror that monitors the road markings ahead, the Lane Departure Warning System helps the driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane on motorways and main roads. This reduces lane drift and the possibility of lateral collisions by warning the driver when the vehicle crosses lane markings without signalling.
Blind Spot Alert and Rear Cross Path detection
These safety systems constantly monitor the space between Quattroporte and other nearby vehicles. When a side or rear blind spot is encroached upon, for instance by another driver changing lanes, illuminated icons appear in the door mirrors and an audible alert is sounded.
Forward Collision Warning
The Forward Collision Warning monitors vehicles ahead by means of a camera, and warns the driver if the car’s approach could escalate into a rear-end collision. This is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system, which provides additional braking during an emergency stop.
