The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S is the sporty version of the luxury sedan model. New technical features include a tuned engine and transmission and a suspension sporty set-up, combined with a more aggressive exterior look.

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT SDefined by Maserati as “a real driving machine in the guise of a luxury saloon”, the Quattroporte Sport GT S is the ultimate expression of sportiness in the Quattroporte range.

Exterior Design

At the front, the sportier, more “aggressive” look of the new Quattroporte Sport GT S is expressed by the new black grille with concave vertical fins featuring the Trident logo with red accents, typical of the sportier versions of Maserati models.

It is also further enhanced by the new headlights, in metallic titanium finish.

The side and the rear of the car feature a new “shadow line”, which includes black finishing around the doors, body-coloured door handles and black twin oval exhaust pipes.

New 20” Multi Trident Silver wheels are fitted as standard, together with red brake calipers and Dual Cast technology brakes.

Powertrain

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT SThe technical changes to the new Quattroporte Sport GT S compared with the Quattroporte S concern four areas: the engine mapping, the gearshift management software, the suspension set-up and the exhaust system.

The V8 4.7 litre engine power is increased to 323kW (440 HP) thanks to the adoption of a sports exhaust system that allows the vehicle’s power to be fully exploited;

The automatic six-speed transmission features a specific gear-shifting software which increases driving enjoyment.

The front and rear suspension feature single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and lower ride height, while a sports exhaust controlled by pneumatic valves for a deep, throaty and captivating sound enhanced by large twin-oval tailpipes.
