2013 Maserati Quattroporte Spotted Testing at the Ring
Maserati's upcoming new flagship caught hot-lapping the famous Nürburgring

Ring testing has finally begun again and today our trusty Teamspeed spies bring us the latest spy-pictures of the new 2013 Maserati Quattroporte. Hidden under a bloated bed of plastic camouflage panels we still can gather a good idea of the new sedans overall shape, which appears to have grown from the current model.

Internally codenamed the M156, Maserati is thought to be developing a new rear-wheel drive platform for the new flag-ship saloon. The new platform will make extensive use of lightweight aluminum and be capable of implementing a hybrid system. The all-wheel-drive system from the Ferrari FF is also being considered. The new Quattroporte is expected to keep its Ferrari-derived 4.7-liter V8 and wonderful soundtrack with power rated at around 475 hp. The new sedan is also set to receive a new 8-speed automatic gearbox.

We expect the 2013 Quattroporte to debut at the Paris Motor Show this Fall.

 

Wow! Love the design.

 

How can you love a design of a car that has an enormous amount of camouflage? It's impossible to see nothing of the car except that has four wheels.

 

And a windshield.

 

 

Oh really?

 

Looking forward to seeing the facelift.
My QP GTS is already satisfied by the family members. Still hope to see more progress of the future successor. Believe it's beautiful.

 

Looks like they pulled a Panamera....
