Maserati Quattroporte M156 - 6 Phase 2 2016

The Maserati Quattroporte is the emblematic luxury sedan of the trident brand, embodying since 1994 the alliance between sporting performance and Italian luxury, positioned directly against rivals such as the BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Maserati Quattroporte story began with the first generation launched in 1994, revolutionizing the segment with its Giugiaro-signed design and its V8 and twin-turbocharged V12 powertrains, thus establishing a reputation as an atypical sports sedan in the European automotive landscape. Throughout its Maserati Quattroporte generations, the model has undergone four major evolutions, each refining the positioning between raw sportiness and prestige comfort: the second generation in 2003 modernized the silhouette while maintaining its aggressive spirit, while the third generation in 2013 introduced all-wheel-drive transmission technology and Ferrari V8 engines, marking a turning point in the Maserati Quattroporte philosophy. The current generation, launched in 2021, abandons thick walls and adopts a modular all-electric architecture for its future variants, while remaining available with 550 hp hybrid V6 and twin-turbocharged V8 powertrains, reaffirming its positioning as a high-performance sedan intended for discerning clientele seeking exclusivity and uncompromised driving dynamics. With just under 100,000 units sold over three decades, the Quattroporte remains a benchmark model for character car enthusiasts, far removed from mass production, embodying Maserati's pride in the international sports luxury sedan market.
