Maserati Quattroporte

The Maserati Quattroporte is a 4-door saloon from Maserati, built from 1963 to 2023, in the decade that gave the world the pony car and the mid-engined supercar. Under the bonnet: 4.1&nbsp. Pietro Frua drew it.

The background

The Maserati Quattroporte (Italian pronunciation: [ˌkwattroˈpɔrte]) is a four-door full-size luxury saloon produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati. The name translated from Italian means "four doors". The production of the sixth generation ended in late 2023, with the first generation introduced in 1963.

The engineering

Power comes from 4.1  other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1757 kg. It shifts through a 5-speed ZF S5 manual / 3-speed Borg Warner automatic. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2750 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Modena. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Aston Martin DB5, the Pontiac GTO, the Buick Riviera — show what else the money bought that year. Its Maserati stablemates include the Maserati 150S and the Maserati 200S.

What it costs now

There is no federal ownership record for the Maserati Quattroporte — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
