Maserati Quattroporte MC Sport Line

Maserati Quattroporte? Good. Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S? Better. Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S kitted out from the MC Sport Line? Better still.

Having already launched similar equipment for the GranTurismo coupe, Maserati has now unveiled the first of its MC Sport Line for the Quattroporte sedan. At the time it consists essentially of carbon fiber and aluminum trim for the interior, but if the GranTurismo's MC Sport program is any indication, we could be looking at something even better ahead.

MC stands for Maserati Corse, and has adorned such high-performance machinery as the MC12 and the new GranTurismo MC Stradale.

Maserati Quattroporte by Novitec Tridente

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

As far as four-door sedans are concerned, few are as enthrallingly fast as the Maserati Quattroporte. But those looking for an added edge need look no further than Novitec Tridente. The Dutch tuning firm best known for their custom Ferraris (under the banner Novitec Rosso) has released a series of upgrades for the Quattroporte S and GT S that take the Maserati into ever more rarified fields of performance and exclusivity.

By adding a supercharger, intercooler, new intake manifold, fuel injectors and recalibrated engine management, Novitec has boosted output up to an epic 590 horsepower. That's enough to drop the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint down to 4.6 seconds and the top speed up to 295 km/h (183 mph). An electronically adjustable suspension, 21-inch modular wheels on Pirelli tires, a subtle aero kit and an array of interior options are also on offer, and you can see it all in the gallery of high-resolution images below.

Maserati Preparing Pair of New Quattroportes

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Had your eye on a new Maserati Quattroporte, but couldn't stomach the $120,000 price of entry? We've got some good news for you. As part of the comprehensive five-year plan announced by Maserati's parent Fiat Group, the exotic Italian automaker is set to debut not one, but two new four-door models.

One will be a straight-up successor to the current Quattroporte, slotting in about the same price and size range. The second, however, will be positioned below the existing sport-sedan range, targeting the likes of the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG with an approximately $75,000 starting price. Few further details are available at this point, but expect to hear more about this model as its introduction approaches.

Maserati to Celebrate in Geneva with Special Quattroporte Awards Edition

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

The Maserati Quattroporte has accrued a number of awards over the past several years, and with good reason. The four-door Italian exotic is, to our eyes at least, a stylish and exciting alternative to the usual crop of German and Japanese luxury sedans. So to celebrate the Quattroporte's laudable success, Maserati is preparing to unveil the special Awards Edition at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Based on the top-of-the-line Quattrporte Sport GT S, the Awards Edition gets an exclusive Quarzo Fuso paint job with burnished brightwork, 20-inch wheels and upgraded Brembo brakes. The interior, meanwhile, bears glove-soft Poltrona Frau leather sears and Alcantara microsuede trim, piano black wood veneers and a number of other special touches.

Maserati Quattroporte Converted into a Hearse

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

When we leave this world, as we're all destined to do at some point, we hope we can do so with style. Whether we're willing to destroy something as graceful as a Maserati Quattrporte to do so, on the other hand, is another question entirely.

For those who simply couldn't bear the thought of riding to their final resting place in a Lincoln or Cadillac, Intercar Modena offers this hearse conversion of a Maserati. The wheelbase has been stretched and the roofline extended to accommodate the grim cargo. But if a Maserati isn't your style, the company offers conversions of everything from Mercedes vans to BMW sidecar motorcycles.

Once again one of Lindsay Lohan's cars has wound up on eBay (her Mercedes was on the auction website in 2007). The white Maserati Quattroporte did not belong to Lindsay Lohan but to Dennis DeSantis. Lohan was photographed driving the car and involved it in a fender bender, which TMZ reported that CARFAX does not mention on their report. The 2007 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT is fully loaded with Brembo brakes, power seats, CD player, rear sunshades, parking sensors, suede headliner, white stitching, GT wheels and tires, sport exhaust, navigation and moon roof. and has just over 25,000 miles on it. Last time I looked bids were over $62,100.

UPDATE: The listing has been pulled. (Thanks, Colin)

Stretched Maserati Quattroporte Limousine for Hire in Florida

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Stretching a stock automobile into a limousine is a precarious venture. So while Mercedes-Benz can take its own E-Class sedan, as it's preparing to do, and turn it into a stretched limo to assuredly polished effect, when others try to do the same, more often than not, the modified vehicle turns out a complete abomination of the original. Take for example this stretched Maserati Quattroporte. Currently under the proprietorship of Florida's Padilla Car Collection, this Italian luxury sports sedan has been lengthened considerably to accommodate ten passengers in high style, but in effect the original's sumptuous lines have been lost along the way. Say what you will about stretched Hummers – which Padilla has in stock, too – but at least their form carries the extension well.

Maserati Unveils Quattroporte Sport GT S

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Maserati plans to unveil its stunning new Quattroporte Sport GT S (above), its most powerful luxury sedan ever, at next month's Detroit Auto Show. With all the buzz about the upcoming Lamborghini Estoque and Porsche Panamera, Maserati's sexy beast is a timely reminder that the Italian marque is the one to beat when it comes to heart-stopping four-doors. The Quattroporte Sport GT S boasts 433 HP, a 0 – 60 time of less that 5.5 seconds, a throatier exhaust, and a leaner, meaner look in general. It's expected to cost about $140,000. The Quattroporte's automotive heritage dates back to the 1960s when the Aga Khan ordered a stately but sporty Maserati sedan, which became the prototype for the vehicle.
