The Maserati Quattroporte is about the sexiest sedan you'll ever see, and its Italian craftsmanship reflects passion. Its styling, by the legendary Pininfarina, shows them all how it should be done, without tricks (except for three little portholes, touches that work). The lines are so shapely they're striking.
Quattroporte is Italian for "four door," and this is Maserati's flagship sedan. Its cabin is roomy for a car this low and stylish, but it's really all about the quality of its materials, with nine shades of leather and six types of wood to choose from. The controls could and should be simpler, but that's true of all the top luxury cars today.
The Quattroporte comes into its element at high speeds, and inspires confidence when driven at those speeds. This reflects the high engineering quality of the car. Alas, we live in a world where it's illegal to use such technology to its capability. Around town, the QP, as its fans call it, is as easy to drive as a Toyota.
The new, aluminum, Maserati 4.2-liter V8 is high-revving, sweet and sensual. It makes 400 horsepower.The six-speed manual automatic transmission with optional paddle shifters is responsive.
The suspension is active, meaning that sensors make infinite adjustments in the shock absorbers and other dynamics, depending on the movements of the wheels and chassis. The resulting ride is flawless, neither too soft nor too firm, at any time. There's a Normal and Sport mode that respond appropriately, during casual driving and when we did a 100-mile run over some of our favorite curves through a remote forest in the Pacific Northwest. The cornering is exciting because it's so precise, thanks mostly to a double-wishbone suspension front and rear, and excellent 51/49 weight distribution. With a wheelbase of 120 inches, the Quattroporte is a fairly long car, but its handling is nimble.
