Maserati used the North American International Auto Show in Detroit to debut their new Quattroporte Sport GT S which aims to offer the ultimate driving experience.

Power comes from the same 430hp 4.7-liter V8 engine as in the Quattroporte S but engineers fine turned the engine's mapping system to produce 439hp (323kW). The company also went to work adjusting the transmission's gearshift mngmt software in order to provide a more enjoyable driving experience. Additionally Maserati included an upgraded suspension that is equipped with single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and a lower ride height. Finally the company added a sports exhaust that is controlled by pneumatic valves, this helps to create a deep and throaty exhaust note.

Exterior differences are limited but include a new black grille with vertical fins, a Trident logo wearing red accents, new headlights with a metallic titanium finish, and "shadow line" trim. The interior gets also gets a modest makeover and includes minor touches such as Titantex trim and new seats in Alcantara and leather.

 

Needs some NEEZ wheels, the wheels are a little too tame for my liking.

 

I agree 100%. Other than the wheels though, the slightly restyled Quattroporte GT S looks amazing! I love all the alcantara inside and the blacked out headlights as well! Thanks for sharing DJ!

 

Front end face lift makes it look a lot better. She is a beauty.

 

Such a nice car. I really want one of these. This or M5?

 

Looks great! Needs some new wheels though...

 

I like how it looks....very aggressive!

I would wait to find one that has a few miles on it and save a bundle

 

M5 for sure.....

I will never by another quattroporte again...............

 

that bad huh? what year was it? I thought the newer QP's were more reliable than ones in the past. Can't beat BMW reliability and warranty but the QP looks better.

 

Neither - 335 Vert
