Giacomo Mattioli and the Quattroporte Sport GT S

The Maserati Quattroporte, during its six years of life, has received fifty six awards from the most prestigious automotive, lifestyle and luxury publications in fourteen countries all over the world: a global approval for a car that has known how to recreate itself over the years, always able to maintain the appeal of the lines and purity of the forms created by Pininfarina, which defined it an instant classic.

The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, according to Giacomo Mattioli, President of Ferrari Maserati Beverly Hills and Silicon Valley, is Maserati’s most powerful sedan ever: it represents the most exciting combination of luxury sedan and performance sports car that Maserati has ever designed. With a very sporty accent on his exterior and interior design, the new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S doesn’t compromise style and elegance that are always distinctive features in the Maserati’s flagship model. Pininfarina designers succeeded in giving the car a sportier edge while keeping the overall look intact. The main change on the outside is the new grille that features vertical slats as in the Maserati GranTurismo with a reworked bumper, flanked by fog lights and air intakes, which gives the car an immediate visual impact. Other accents that make the car to speak speeds even when not on the move are titanium finish front light cluster, a lowered suspension, two new types of 20” wheel rim and oval tailpipes. The interior reflects as well its sportier style, featuring specific materials and designs: front and rear seats have a stylized M, design which is also repeated in the front of the grille and at the top of the dash. A massive use of Alcantara suede, from central sections of the seats, to the door side panels, the front armrest, the steering wheel and the gear level knob, distinguishes the new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S from the other models. To give the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S a high-tech and high-performance look, Maserati used for the interiors the groundbreaking TitanTex, an ultra-lightweight aluminum-coated titanium fiber fabric. The transmission shift paddles are longer in shape and have a decorative chromed finish, enhancing the car sportier look. As optional equipment, specially designed for high performance driving, it is possible to order aluminum pedals, that provide an outstanding grip for precise and quick movements on accelerator and brake pedals. According to Giacomo Mattioli, the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S’s engine raises the car’s performance to unprecedented levels: it is the most powerful engine in the Quattroporte range and it is capable of 433 HP at 7,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 361 lt-fb at 4,750 rpm. This engine is the result of an in-depth development of the racing style exhaust system, a true gem of engineering installed exclusively on the Sport GT S version. The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S also comes with a special “Award Edition”, model that was presented at the Geneva Motor Show and that has been selected by the Olympic Champion Alberto Cova.
