2013 MASERATI Quattroporte VI 3.0L V6 AWD 8AT (410 HP)

Vehicle Overview

When it comes to luxury and fine tastes, it was hard to beat the Italians, and that was obvious on the sixth generation of Maserati’s flagship, the Quattroporte.

The Quattroporte was always a sporty sedan, regardless of the engine under the hood. The sixth-generation couldn’t be different than its predecessors, and it wasn’t. In fact, it was even better than them adding more power, more features, and more comfort to Maserati’s flagship.

It was designed in Centro Stile FCA without any help from Pininfarina or Bertone. The company already had the experience and the staffing to make great-looking cars. Quattroporte’s streamlined bodywork, with wave-like beltline and cab-rearward concept, inspired a sports car with four doors. At the front, the boomerang-style headlights resembled those installed on the rest of the range, while the black grille with vertical slats resembled older race cars from the company’s history. On the front fenders, the carmaker installed three vents on each side. In the back, the quad-exhaust system with a rectangular profile popped out through the rear apron, while an integrated spoiler enhanced the short trunk lid.

Inside, Maserati prepared a leather-clad interior with comfortable seats. Depending on the trim level, the carmaker installed wood or carbon-fiber trims on the dashboard, door panels, and center console. A large intuitive touch-screen covered most of the center stack. In the back, Maserati offered either a bench for three or two individual seats. Thanks to its big wheelbase, the car provided plenty of legroom even for six-footers (over 2 m height).

Under the hood, Maserati installed a choice of three engines ranged between a 275 hp turbo-diesel and a 530 hp turbocharged V-8.
