22 December 2008 - The new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S will make its international debut at the 2009 NAIAS show on January 12, 2009.
The technical changes to the new Quattroporte Sport GT S in respect to the Quattroporte S concern four areas:
- the mapping of the V8 4.7 litre engine, with power increased to 323kW;
- the gearshift management software, with new features designed to increase driving enjoyment;
- the front and rear suspension system featuring single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and lower ride height;
- the sports exhaust controlled by pneumatic valves for a deep, throaty and captivating sound.
The sportier and more aggressive look is also evident due to the interior and exterior stylistic choices:
- the new black grille with concave vertical fins featuring the Trident logo with red accents, typical of the sportier versions of Maserati models;
- the new headlights, in metallic titanium finish;
- the side and rear 'shadow line', which includes black finishing around the doors, body-coloured door handles and black twin oval exhaust pipes;
- the new M-design seats with perforated Alcantara® and leather upholstery;
- the standard trim in Titantex, a 'titanium coloured' composite material.
