Maserati introduced an all-new version of its long-running
Quattroporte
(four-door) model in 2004 and in doing so came up with an outstandingly luxurious conveyance that nevertheless was aimed squarely at the enthusiastic owner-driver. A luxury saloon with the soul of a sports car, the new
Quattroporte
featured DuoSelect six-speed sequential manual transmission complete with Formula 1-style paddle gearshift. Displacing 4.2 litres, the
Quattroporte
's quad-cam V8 revved to 7,200 and produced 394bhp, a remarkably high specific output for a normally aspirated engine, particularly that of a luxuriously appointed four-seater saloon. Unusually, Maserati chose not to limit the car's top speed, unlike the majority of its (mainly) German rivals; thus the
Quattroporte
was allowed to realise its full potential, achieving a maximum velocity of 171mph with 62mph attainable in 5.2 seconds.
By mounting the dry-sump engine aft of the front axle line, Maserati's engineers achieved a slight rearward weight bias, endowing the
Quattroporte
with sports car-like balance and communicative steering. The suspension (Maserati's familiar Skyhook) incorporated both anti-dive and anti-squat geometry while offering electronically controlled adaptive damping and excellent ride comfort. Performance was restrained by ventilated Brembo disc brakes all round, supplemented by four-channel ABS, electronic brake force distribution, traction control and stability control. The first Maserati to be styled by Pininfarina for 50 years, the
Quattroporte
combined elegant
Gran Turismo
looks with a sumptuously equipped interior featuring
Poltrona frau
leather upholstery, six airbags, Blaupunkt information centre, satellite navigation and a BOSE sound system.
One of only a few hundred examples imported annually into the UK, this right-hand drive
Quattroporte
is something of a rarity, being a 4.2-litre pre-facelift model with the ZF six-speed paddle-shift gearbox. The Maserati was purchased new with an extended warranty lasting until 2011, which the next owner extended, keeping the car until 2020. There is a comprehensive service record stretching back to its early days with Maserati and Ferrari (engine) specialists, demonstrating that this car has been cherished and wanted for nothing. The last service was carried out in May 2020 at 47,529 miles. Finished in dark grey metallic with tan leather interior, this marvellous Italian
Gran Turismo
currently displays a total of 51,500 miles on the odometer and is described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout, commensurate with the low mileage. Offered with a current MoT, this beautiful car represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exciting sports saloons of recent years at a fraction of the approximately £77,000 launch price.
