Maserati Quattroporte

The Maserati Quattroporte is a full-size luxury sedan. It stands out as a unique and evocative offering in a segment dominated by competent yet conservative rides.

With aggressively tapered headlights, a rising beltline and an extra-wide scalloped grille, the new Quattroporte wears many of the sleek cues that distinguish Maserati's shapely coupe models. When viewed in profile, however, it's immediately apparent that the Quattroporte is definitely a sedan, and quite a large one - it's a full eight inches longer overall than the previous model.
