Maserati Quattroporte, Quattroporte in English it means four doors and as the name says, it is a four-door sports luxury sedan. Maserati Quattroporte looks sporty, its low long and wide with the mean shard looking focused eyes is an attention grabber. And from the front you can see 10 vertical bars in chrome that further underscore the car's prestigious stature, it still has its signature side air vents and it makes it damn sporty.

Looks & Design
Big touchscreen infotainment system with which you can control all the things and is well placed. The seats are well trimmed, designed and stitched from both front and back. You can feel the quality of leather from the first touch itself.
Quattroporte comes only in long wheelbase option but, it is even longer than all its rivals, and you can see it in the back seat the leg room that is given for the back seats. They are really good and the seating position is really comfortable. There is also a central control system to control heated seats air vents and many more techs. As compared to its rivals it lacks lots of technical gadgets but it covers it up with elegance and quality and Italian finish.

Safety Features
Maserati made safety a top priority when designing the Quattroporte. The Maserati Stability Program (MSP) uses an array of sensors to constantly monitor driving status. It can then deploy a host of safety and performance systems to maintain handling and grip. MSP selectively reduces engine torque and can activate the brakes with finely varied inputs to restore stability within milliseconds.

Performance
Let's talk about performance, Maserati has not given us a luxury car with compromised performance. This car is a serious performance car. Even though it is a big and a heavy car it doesn't mean it will be slow, sorry to disappoint you but the V8 petrol version can hit 0 to 100 kph in just 4.9 seconds in GTS is really quick and the power is there in full rev range.

You can feel the grunt of the power, and it's not like they have made a muscle car, no you're wrong again, they have given her sports suspension which means she stays well composed even while cornering at high speed and gives you confidence.
They have given it sports hard suspension because of which the ride quality gets bit harsh and you can feel it, but you can overcome it by speed. Most of the Maserati Quattroporte owners are going to be in the driver seat because, it is a joy to drive her, and the seats are good comfortable and supportive. The best things about this car are its engine, so much power torque, and the sound the V8 engine makes is one the best sound there is.

This car is for those who love power, speed and are looking for Italian 4 door sports car.
Yes, it has the luxury, but Maserati has focused more on making it sporty side and you can feel it.
It’s not for those who are looking for comfortable ride and full tech luxury.
