2008 Maserati Quattroporte

The elegant Maserati Quattroporte sedan's sports car-like performance is enhanced for 2008 in a new Sport GT S version.

The Maserati Quattroporte is an elegant sport sedan with capable performance and exotic-car cachet. A lusty V8 engine delivers stirring acceleration with a standard DuoSelect sequential-shift transmission or optional six-speed automatic. The Quattroporte handles more like a sport coupe than a luxury sedan, although it provides a smoother ride than most vehicles bred for pure performance. Its interior is elegantly trimmed in leather and wood, with a long list of convenience features standard, even on the base model. The Sport GT and Sport GT S are the raciest versions, while the Executive GT is the most opulent.
