The Five-Door Maserati Quattroporte
 
3 Attachment(s)
Looks like StudioM, the specialty tuner and car design firm in Italy, will be assembling a highly modified wagon version of the Maserati Quattroporte saloon for a Middle Eastern Sheikh. Accroding to Nu.nl, the model has not yet advanced beyond a 1:4 scale version.

In order to build the apparently extra-large five door, with new positioning for the front and rear seats, the fuel tank would need to be moved and the car would need to be extended. Changing the external dimensions of the car would also require modifications on the glass as well. White up top, black at the bottom, and gold accents all around, there is not a shred of humility included in this mod.

Currently nicknamed the "Cinqueporte", a full production version by Maserati will most likely not happen. Upon hearing about the five-door, Maserati officials reacted with repulsion, demanding that the signature Trident logo be removed from the grille and sent back to the automaker.

StudioM is waiting for approval from the Middle Easterner to begin production. The Sheikh has reportedly conducted a similar indignity by converting a Ferrari into a station wagon.

Seriously, it should stay that way. The quirky, yet flowing lines of the Sedan work wonderfully, whereas this is a design attempt gone wrong.

IMO they need to stick to what they have
