Quattroporte Sport GT S Maserati 2009

Base Price: $140,000

Maserati's alarmingly and commercially acknowledged Quattroporte has been on the bazaar almost banausic for four archetypal years, and is still a baton in the ultra-luxury auto segment. New offerings from Porsche, Bentley and potentially Lamborghini are on the horizon, but the Quattroporte Action GT S is now official and tangible.

The "Sport GT S" moniker refers to a bashful bang in ability and a redesigned suspension, as able-bodied as some beefier exoteric $.25 that advance the Quattroporte's chic and chaste architecture while abacus some achievement cues to attempt with new affluence action sedans on the horizon.

On the outside, the Quattroporte Action GT S gets titanium-finished headlight trim, a new barbecue and air inlets, and a "sport bankrupt controlled by aeriform valves for a deep, clear and arresting sound" (yeah, we're not badinage here).

The Action GT S autogenous gets the black-out analysis accent by new seats akin in Alcantara and "titanium colored" blended material. Whatever, the autogenous looks abundant and will accord the Maserati enthusiast disciplinarian a appreciably added visually absorbing abode to pilot his four aperture rocket from.

The abeyance is bargain and stiffened, now employing single-rate dampers to eat up the twisties after animadversion the argent beanery out of your yogurt parfait. Maserati Quattroporte Action GT S ability now stands at 433 horses, and will be put to the alley through an electronically controlled DSG which has been remapped for quicker shifts.

The Action GT S is a nice addendum to the crumbling Quattroporte line, but Maserati will charge to agitate things up if they'd like to break on top of the chic the Quattroporte all but created.
