Maserati Quattroporte: Italian Design at its Best"The new Maserati Quattroporte is a high-performance sports luxury sedan thatreinterprets the design features of classic Maseratis in a contemporary designlanguage. Its style was born out of the guiding design principles of Maserati: harmony ofshapes, dynamism of lines, Italian elegance. More generous in size when compared tothe previous model, the new Quattroporte has a design that is at once graceful andsinuous, fashioned to bring out the sporty nature of the car.

Some of the elements characterizing the previous model have been purposelymaintained: the front grill, the three side vents, the triangular C pillar. At the same timenew style and functional features were introduced: the strong belt line that runs throughthe entire side of the car giving the new Quattroporte a look and feel that is at oncemuscular and elegant with frameless doors and three side windows..

Inside, the design of the Quattroporte aims at essentiality, stressing the simplicity oflines and the full functionality of the in-board instrumentation. Functional elements areblended with soft quality surfaces made of prestigious woods and refined leathers."Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Head of Maserati Design Center
