2005 Maserati Quattroporte Gorgeous Well Kept Exotic on 2040-cars
Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States

It's very difficult to describe this car adequately! It has many personalities. You can drive it easily and shift at low revs and haul your mother around and all she thinks is "What an absolutely lovely car! I wish I was 15 years younger, I'd buy it" She's 91. On another hand you can load it up with your gear head friends and dial it up while in sport mode and just blow their minds. This is an extremely capable (big) sports car. Just not much else even comes close. Personally I prefer to go it alone and just get lost in the drive. And what a drive------!! This car started life in California I'm told (it does have just the California Navigation disc) and then found it's way to North Carolina. I brought it to Ohio, but it has not seen any severe winter conditions. No salt corrosion. Car was fully serviced in July at a Maserati dealer (I have receipts): fluids changed, new brakes pads, rear tie rods (recall campaign). Previous owner stated the dealer she bought the car from had installed new tires just a few thousand miles ago. Tires, Pirelli P Zero's, do appear as new. New license plate bracket installed. Car runs and drives fabulously. Smells like new. Sounds fantastic when pressed! Car has more features than I can remember, but those interested probably have done their homework---any specific questions I can address. The exterior has just a flew nicks from stones or such (58000 miles) but the paint is just amazing. I have never seen factory paint done so well, as perfect as it gets. One door ding not easily seen. The interior shows minimal wear. There is one small mark on the driver's seat bottom, a little discoloration, very minor. Actually these photos were taken before I cleaned the seats, nearly all discoloration wiped off readily. The wood console shows just a bit of what must be sun damage to the clear finish on the top edge. Again, very minor. All in all a very well kept environment. I would guess this car has always been garaged. A few of the rubber buttons/ash tray have a bit of the "sticky rubber" syndrome common to these and pretty much all Italian cars. Kinda nice really for you can definitively feel those rather small buttons while driving. And there's a lot of them! This car probably has 5 times the computer capacity that NASA had in the Apollo program. I'm still learning the capabilities. I mostly just drive in rapture and love the natural music of that Ferrari derived marvel . The stereo does kick butt though if wanted. These cars must represent one of the best bangs for the buck presently. No other car to my taste has all the qualities of these. $100,000+ when new, about a quarter of that now. Good lord, this is a lot of car for not really much money. The styling, performance, utility (really) is unmatched. Thanks for looking, I encourage a personal inspection if possible. Call Doug 937 231 0193.

Maserati GranTurismo successor to be smaller, fight Porsche 911
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The Chevrolet Corvette, Jaguar F-Type and Porsche 911 all belong to a club that shuns the Maserati GranTurismo as an outsider. You see, those three key sports cars all measure within an inch of one another in length - 176 to 177 inches and change - while the Maserati comes in at over 192 inches. Naturally, there's extra length between its wheels, as well.
While those extra inches would seemingly pay dividends in interior roominess and storage space, those are not exactly the most important attributes in the segment, which values proper proportions and proper driving feel over all else. All of this is why it comes as little surprise that Maserati is working on a smaller version of its two-door sports car platform when the next generation is ready in roughly three years.
According to Motor Trend and echoing rumors we've heard in the past, the smaller model will be known as the Gran Sport while a larger model will still be called GranTurismo in coupe form and GranCabrio in convertible guise. We're told, again, to expect Maserati's new 404-horsepower supercharged V6 engine as standard, while the V8 would still be a possible option.
Maserati releases quartet of videos featuring new Quattroporte
Tue, 06 Nov 2012In case you missed it, Maserati has decided to introduce the world to its next Quattroporte well ahead of its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January. As expected, it's beautiful.
Not content to leave well enough alone, the Italian automaker has revealed a series of videos to go along with the six images and press release it had already let loose upon the globe's unsuspecting automotive press.
We're still a bit shaky on the details, but Maserati says the Quattroporte's new engine, assembled by Ferrari in Maranello, will "[establish] new benchmarks for Maserati in terms of power and acceleration." That sounds good to us, though we're not sure if that means 530 horsepower as possibly alluded to by the license plate on the press shots. We also note that the automaker says the car is designed to accept "a wide range of engine architectures," so that rumored supercharged V6 sounds likely.
Maserati looking to book 13,000 sales of new Quattroporte in 2013
Mon, 10 Dec 2012Europe's continuing financial woe is forcing automakers to get creative, and while Fiat may be scaling back its volume vehicles, it's looking to ramp up production of the exclusive Maserati brand. Following the debut of a new Quattroporte sedan, Fiat wants to boost Maserati sales to 50,000 vehicles by 2015. Maserati may lose as much as €7 million ($9.05 million) this year, and Fiat is betting big on Chrysler platforms and dealers to turn that around.
Currently regarded as a low-volume boutique carmaker, Maserati sold just 6,159 units last year, and 4,700 units through three quarters of this year. For 2013, Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne is targeting 13,000 in sales of the redesigned Quattroporte alone. Fiat apparently wants the brand's low volume image to change, hoping to position it closer to BMW and Porsche in the market.
The recent unveiling of the new Quattroporte will be followed by more new vehicle launches, including a crossover utility called Levante, and a long-promised sub-Quattroporte sedan, called Ghibli. The latter will share certain components with the Chrysler 300 sedan in an effort to optimize production costs. The Ghibli will be positioned to take on the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It's all in an effort to turn the profit tide for Maserati and its parent company Fiat amidst European economic turmoil.
