Maserati Quattroporte. History 2 History Over 100 years of defiance and glory. On 1st December 1914, Alfieri, Ernesto and Ettore Maserati set up their own business in Bologna, modifying Isotta Fraschinis for road racing. By 1926, they had produced their own racing car, the Maserati Tipo 26, which promptly won its class in the Targa Florio of that year, serving notice to the world that a major new force in the field of motor sport had arrived. In the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, Maserati enjoyed success after success on the racetrack, with wins that included two Indianapolis 500s, 29 victories in Formula 1, and the 1957 F1 World Championship, won by Fangio driving a 250F. 1947 saw the company turn its attention to the manufacture of passenger cars with the inspirational Maserati A6 grand tourer, followed in 1957 by the 3500 GT 2+2 sports coupé that introduced a number of important innovations, such as twin-spark ignition, disc brakes and fuel injection. In 1963, Maserati showcased the world’s first luxury four-door sports sedan, the Quattroporte, and in the late ’60s and ’70s, launched a series of ultra-high performance supercars, the Mistral, Ghibli, Khamsin, and Bora. After several changes in ownership, Fiat acquired Maserati in 1993. Now an autonomous division within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Maserati boasts a class-leading range that covers the entire luxury sector of the international car market, and is seeing ever-growing interest in the legendary ‘Marque of the Trident’. Today, Maserati is nothing less than an Italian icon - a symbol of creativity, passion, innovation and style. Its combination of craftsmanship, technology and painstaking attention to detail creates highly desirable cars that never fail to excite and inspire. Maserati Quattroporte. History 4 Quattroporte. Race-bred engineering in a luxury sedan. Since 1963. When Maserati presented the first Quattroporte at the 1963 Turin Motor Show, it introduced a whole new category to the marketplace: the luxury sports sedan. The concept was revolutionary for the times: take a successful Maserati racing engine and place it inside the body of a sedan – something that nobody had ever done before. With its exceptional handling and a race-bred V8 engine the Quattroporte was the fastest sedan in the world at the time. In the following 50 years, the Quattroporte has remained as Maserati’s flagship model. Forever exclusive, never mainstream, it has always been daringly different – for those who dare to be different. Maserati Quattroporte. Range 6 RANGE The Quattroporte comes in many guises. Because choice is so important. In the new Quattroporte, Maserati has created a unique and exclusive car, designed for the discerning tastes of entrepreneurial pioneers and business trailblazers – high achievers who relish the unconventional and avant-garde. Naturally, for such a demanding clientele, the Quattroporte is available in a number of different guises and with three inspirational engines. The Quattroporte S comes with Maserati’s awesome 410 HP 3.0 litre, twin-turbo V6, whilst for those seeking the ultimate in traction, there is the Quattroporte S Q4, which features Maserati’s highly acclaimed Q4 all-wheel drive system. However, if truly stupendous levels of power and performance are required, there can be only one solution: the uncompromising Quattroporte GTS, with its magnificent 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 that produces an enormous 530 HP. Alternatively, diesel aficionados can opt for the Quattroporte Diesel and its decidedly sporty 275 HP 3.0 V6 turbo-diesel unit. The New Quattroporte. Exterior Design 8 The New Quattroporte. By Maserati. It is universally acknowledged that Italians lead the world in car design, imbuing their cars not only with great beauty, but also adding that intangible touch of genius called ‘allure’. A prime example of this is the Quattroporte: cultured and refined, it is a masterpiece of sophistication, aesthetics and aerodynamic elegance. Despite its impressive size, the Quattroporte manages to maintain a balanced and dynamic appearance, with a long wheelbase that promises a spacious interior and a comfortable ride for all onboard. The front grille, a center piece of Maserati identity, evolves in a new shape, inspired by that of the Alfieri concept car and introduces new vertical chrome elements that contrast with the deepness of the ‘shark nose’ effect. Revised front and rear bumpers give the car even greater authority and presence, whilst the marque’s traditional three air vents are featured along the sides. Frameless doors then manage to give this executive saloon the appearance of a sleek coupé. The Quattroporte’s familiar triangular C-pillar, with the celebrated Saetta logo, is another nod to the car’s innate sporty character, as are the quad chrome tailpipes and the subtly integrated boot spoiler, which generates downforce at high speeds. Its aerodynamics are unsurpassed, thanks in part to its flat underbody and also to a clever new Air Shutter behind the front grille, that provides optimal control of the engine’s fluid temperature and contributes to further improve the aerodynamic drag of the car. The New Quattroporte. Interior Design 10 EXCLUSIVITY In the front or in the rear, relax in the lap of luxury. To ensure the comfort of its guests, the Quattroporte wants for nothing, and in terms of materials and equipment only the best will do: premium Italian leathers, fine woods, handcrafted stitching, the very latest in high-tech instrumentation and, with GranLusso trim, exclusive Ermenegildo Zegna silk interiors. The sensation of wellbeing begins with the 12-way power adjustable leather front seats that ensure the perfect driving position. Heated front seats come as standard, along with memory settings on the driver’s seat that include not only its set-up but also the steering wheel and door mirror positions. The leather’s stitching is quite exquisite, reflecting the very finest traditions of Italian craftsmanship - the precision of the Trident logos that are either embossed or stitched on the headrests being a clear indication of the painstaking attention to detail given to the overall interior appointment. Equal attention has been focused on the occupants of the rear seats, as well. The Quattroporte comes with a supremely comfortable, asymmetrically folding leather rear bench seat for three people, complete with a central armrest that contains a storage compartment, a USB point and a 12V socket. Alternatively, as an exclusive option with GranLusso trim, the car can be specified with two electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated single seats for total relaxation on long journeys. Ahead of the driver, the large speedometer and rev counter are separated by a 7” TFT display that shows the car’s dynamic data. In the central console, there is the very latest 8.4” touch-screen infotainment system with an additional rotary control, along with a handy new phone storage box. Other functions are then controlled by a cluster of driver-orientated buttons on the central tunnel beside the gear lever. Meanwhile, the three-spoke, leather clad, multifunction steering wheel provides controls for interacting with the main multimedia functions. The overall spaciousness of the Quattroporte is enhanced by the sleek lines of the broad dashboard, its central tunnel, and its large doors, so that all onboard are enveloped in an atmosphere of complete luxury. The New Quattroporte. Interior Design 14 THE MASERATI CLOCK The luxury and class of Maserati cars have always been underlined by the presence of a highly distinctive clock on the dashboard. For the Quattroporte, Maserati commissioned skilled clockmakers to create a unique and refined oval timepiece with a blue face, styled to match the vehicle’s distinctive interior. CLIMATE CONTROL WITH AN AIR QUALITY SENSOR The automatic dual-zone climate control automatically adjusts the intensity of the ventilation in relation to the outdoor temperature, and allows those in the front seats to select their own individual heat settings. With thirteen ventilation outlets, it is able to cool or heat the car extremely rapidly - the temperatures being set by means of the Maserati Touch Control Plus display or the control panel beneath it. The system is fitted with a humidity sensor that is programmed to reduce the moisture content of the air as soon as the windows start to mist up. In addition, all Quattroporte versions are equipped with Air Quality Sensor. This feature combines an intelligent sensor and an analysis system that calculates the external pollution levels and prevents polluted air and toxic gases from entering the car’s cabin, giving the occupants the cleanest and safest air to breathe. For the ultimate comfort of the rear seat passengers, four-zone climate control is also available, with additional controls that allow temperatures and air distribution to be adjusted separately. Outlets on the floor and pillars increase the airflow from a dedicated rear air conditioning unit that features both manual and automatic modes. KEYLESS GO / KEYLESS ENTRY In the world of Maserati, small details are everything – right down to the design of the remote aluminium key fob, which reflects the style of the Quattroporte and incorporates Keyless Go technology. The standard Keyless Entry function enables the driver to open the doors or boot via the handles, without ever touching the key fob. Once inside the car, the driver has only to press the ignition button to start the engine. BOOT The Maserati Quattroporte features a generous 530 litre boot that accommodates enough large suitcases for a long summer holiday, whilst also providing convenient features such as a boot light, a handy 12V power outlet and special chromed rings to connect the optional luggage net. A Power Boot Lid (standard on the GTS) enables several ways of automatically controlling the boot: by using the key fob, by pressing a button on the ceiling light fixture or the buttons of the boot lid, or by simply placing a foot under the rear bumper. The New Quattroporte. GranLusso Trim 16 GRANLUSSO Irresistible style and enhanced exclusivity: GranLusso trim. Those who seek even more exclusivity and lavish luxury in their Quattroporte can opt for the unrestrained opulence of the GranLusso trim, with an interior styled and appointed by the leading fashion house of Ermenegildo Zegna. Exquisite Italian Zegna silks in the most refined and harmonious colours combine to generate an absolute masterpiece of taste and sophistication – Maserati being the only brand in the world to feature bespoke silk interiors. Other enhancements to the cabin include a wood and leather steering wheel, wood trim, power foot pedals, a power rear sunblind, four-zone climate control and heated rear seats. Externally, GranLusso trim features chrome bumper inserts; the new front lower fascia, design with an elegant floating bridge element, and a stylish front spoiler, is body coloured, as well as the sideskirts and the rear extractor. The whole air of refinement is then rounded off with black brake callipers and elegant 20” Mercurio wheels. The New Quattroporte. GranLusso Trim 18 Combine an icon with a legend and the result is something very special. The Quattroporte is the very epitome of luxury and style, but when GranLusso trim is specified it receives an exclusivity all of its own, courtesy of a cabin makeover by fashion legend, Ermenegildo Zegna. The result is a totally unique flagship in which exquisite Zegna fabrics, colours, and top class materials unite to create a masterpiece of design with a distinctly Italian attitude. Styled and crafted with the same care and precision as a Zegna hand-tailored suit, it oozes exactly the same sophistication, quality and refinement as that found in the designer’s finest garments. An Ermenegildo Zegna interior combines the finest leather with mulberry silk inserts on the seats, door panels, roof lining and ceiling light fixture. The silk is embellished with a hand-stitched micro-chevron pattern, whilst the seating features a central silk insert with a macro-chevron weave. All this is available in three different combinations of leather and dark grey silk, with contrast stitching. The hardwearing Zegna fabric not only bears the traditional pattern of a man’s suit, but also retains all the softness, lightness and texture that is innate in all the materials used by the illustrious fashion house. Just like Zegna’s impeccable clothing, the car carries a personalised Ermenegildo Zegna label that is stitched onto the sun visors to distinguish a work of masterful quality and reaffirm the exclusivity of the silk interiors, which are unique to Maserati.

GranSport Trim 22 GRANSPORT A sporty appearance all your own: GranSport trim. For individuals of a sporting disposition who want their Quattroporte to reflect their more athletic lifestyles, there is the highly distinctive and more aggressive GranSport trim. At the front, revised shapes for the centre and side air intakes enhance engine cooling, and the lower fascia is linked to the grille with aerodynamic splitters. A centre spoiler and side inserts in Piano black finish then complete the ultra-dynamic appearance. A reworked tail end, featuring two new side pockets, focuses attention on the potent twin exhausts, whilst an aggressive extractor, again in Piano black finish, completes the view from the rear. Further exterior enhancements include blue inserts in the front Trident and side Saetta logos, body coloured sideskirts, 21” Titano wheels with blue Tridents on the wheel hubs, and red brake callipers. Inside the GranSport cabin, the new sportier-shaped seats, with sculptured profiles, are heated and 12-way power adjustable at the front. Available in beige, black, tan and red, these ensure better body retention and feature active headrests. A new sport steering wheel completes the car identity. In addition, GranSport trim offers gearshift paddles, Inox sport foot pedals and Piano black trim. The New Quattroporte. Technology 26 PERFORMANCE Performance under pressure. At Maserati Powertrain, the engine developers’ mission was to produce maximum power with minimum fuel consumption and emissions. Their solution: turbocharging, although in keeping with Maserati tradition, on the petrol engines they decided to use not one turbocharger, but two - one for each cylinder bank. Maserati pioneered the use of two turbochargers in its 1981 Biturbo, an innovation that has only recently found favour with the rest of the automotive industry. With the mighty 410 HP 3.0 Twin Turbo V6 petrol engine, the Quattroporte S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, and has a top speed of 286 km/h. However, for those who will settle for nothing less than the ultimate in power and performance, in the GTS there is Maserati’s glorious 3.8 V8, again featuring two turbochargers, that develops an enormous 530 HP and 710 Nm, resulting in 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h. Both engines utilize a highpressure, direct fuel injection system that improves combustion by injecting the atomized fuel straight into the combustion chamber. They also feature Start & Stop as standard. The use of parallel-mounted, low-inertia, twin-scroll turbines helps prevent turbo lag, and ensures swifter accelerator reaction, along with better responsiveness across the board. In keeping with the all-pervading sporting spirit of the brand, both petrol engines are hand-assembled by Ferrari at its Maranello plant. Adding extra drama to the Quattroporte’s highly distinctive engine sound is an exhaust system that includes a special air valve set-up. During normal driving, the valves remain closed, keeping the engine noise discreet and understated. However, when the Sport button is pressed, the bypass valves open up to release a formidable and head-turning roar – so very Maserati! The New Quattroporte. Technology 34 True to the traditions of power and performance: Maserati’s 3.0 V6 turbo diesel engine. Maserati’s innovative 3.0 V6 turbo-diesel is an exceptional engine, featuring the very latest in diesel technology. 275 HP and 600 Nm of torque enable it to surge from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 252 km/h, whilst its economy and emissions figures speak volumes about its efficiency, thanks in part to the Start & Stop system that shuts down the engine whenever the car stops and restarts it automatically when it is time to move off again. To ensure the fastest possible getaway, the engine starts immediately the driver steps off the brake. The state-of-the-art Common Rail fuel injection system and air cavity insulation of the exhaust manifolds combine to minimise engine noise, vibrations and harshness, while a variable geometry turbocharger cuts turbo lag significantly. In addition, the turbo system benefits from a Rotary Electronic Actuator that reduces friction, thus improving boost, torque and emissions. One of the most distinguishing features of a Maserati has always been its engine note, and here the Quattroporte Diesel is no different from its petrol cousins. Thanks to the Maserati Active Sound system, two sound actuators, fitted near the exhaust tailpipes, accentuate the engine’s most attractive tones and modulate them according to the way the car is being driven. When the driver presses the Sport button, the noise becomes more resonant and, in the best traditions of the marque, truly inspirational. The New Quattroporte. Technology 38 Q4 intelligent all-wheel drive system. The power of attraction. Q4 all-wheel drive raises the thrill of driving a Quattroporte to new heights and delivers many other benefits, as well. The system manages to combine the legendary sports car performance of a Maserati with controlled and balanced handling in the snow and on ice. The Q4 system is compact and lightweight, and continually analyses several parameters: driving style, steering angle, yaw angle, speed, wheel slip and power output. The distribution of drive torque from the 410 HP V6 is then varied accordingly. In normal conditions, Q4 sends all the engine’s torque to the rear wheels, ensuring excellent driving dynamics and optimal fuel consumption. However, if the road surface turns slippery and grip starts to be lost, in just 150 milliseconds the intelligent all-wheel drive system transfers up to 50% of the power to the front wheels for maximum traction. Q4 therefore provides the best of both worlds: an exciting and dynamic drive in normal conditions, coupled with safety and security when circumstances become less favourable. The system also functions in conjunction with the MSP electronic stability control system, helping the driver to maintain the correct trajectory. This fully integrated combination improves the car’s handling when braking, with the Q4 system modulating the way the torque is shared between the front and rear axles and recognising the intervention of the ESP and ABS. The Quattroporte S Q4 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 286 km/h. The New Quattroporte. Technology 42 TECHNOLOGY Eight-speed transmission with five driving modes: driving pleasure has never been so technologically refined. The sophisticated design of the eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox ensures precise gearchanges and exceptional performance, and comfortably manages the prodigious power of the different engines. It is assisted by auto-adaptive software that is able to recognise the way the car is being driven, and modifies the shifting pattern for each individual driver. The last two gears, seventh and eighth, have been specially calibrated to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort on long, high-speed journeys. The gearbox transmits the drive to the rear wheels by means of a dual-section, articulated driveshaft, coupled to a limited-slip mechanical differential. For maximum driver involvement, there are five operating modes, selected using the buttons near the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport, and Increased Control & Efficiency (I.C.E). Upshifts are all automatic unless a manual mode is selected. AUTO NORMAL MODE This pre-set mode provides smooth gearshifts at low revs to maximise ride comfort and minimise fuel consumption. When a sportier style of driving is recognised, upshifts automatically take place at higher engine speeds. AUTO SPORT MODE In this mode, the gearshifts are faster and occur at higher revs for a much more sporty driving style. MANUAL NORMAL MODE This mode allows the driver to change gear using the optional paddles behind the steering wheel or the lever on the central tunnel. The system automatically shifts up a gear as the red line approaches, and shifts down in the same way. MANUAL SPORT MODE In Manual Sport mode, the driver takes full control of the transmission for a pure sports driving experience. Gearshifts are quicker and sharper, and the engine can be pushed to the limit without the system intervening. The only automatic feature is downshifting if the revs drop too low. I.C.E. (INCREASED CONTROL & EFFICIENCY) MODE Developed not only for use in icy conditions, this mode ensures better control in all weather conditions, and the most comfortable and quietest engine response, along with minimal fuel consumption. The New Quattroporte. Technology 44 Skyhook suspension: dynamic driving in true Maserati style. In keeping with Maserati’s reputation for producing cars that deliver an incomparable ride coupled with superb roadholding, the Quattroporte features a highly sophisticated and responsive suspension set-up. The aluminium arms of the double-wishbone front suspension are higher up for more precise handling, whilst the five-arm multilink system at the rear provides the perfect blend of comfort and agility. Particular attention has been focused on weight reduction: a large number of suspension components are made of lightweight aluminium, and the front stabiliser bar is hollow. The Quattroporte also benefits from Skyhook suspension, with shock absorbers featuring continuous damping variation. The system uses sensors that monitor the movements of each wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the setting of each damper accordingly. The basic setting gives priority to ride comfort, but if more dynamic handling is required, the driver just presses the suspension button on the central tunnel and the shock absorbers immediately stiffen, significantly reducing load transfer during fast cornering. In both modes, the Skyhook system stays active, and continuously adapts to the road to maximise traction. The New Quattroporte. Safety 48 Priority number one: protection for all. In designing the Quattroporte, Maserati made safety the number one priority. To provide the best possible protection for its occupants it features the latest-generation airbags, numerous state-of-the-art safety systems, and a special front-end crumple structure that absorbs impact forces during a head-on collision. AIRBAGS AND ACTIVE HEADRESTS The Quattroporte comes equipped with six airbags. Two front airbags, both dual-stage, shield the driver and front passenger in the event of collision, while further protection comes courtesy of side and window airbags. Working in conjunction with the airbags are active headrests on the front seats that automatically move in closer to the occupants’ heads to reduce the risk of whiplash injury. BRAKES All versions of the Quattroporte feature powerful Brembo® brakes that have been carefully matched to the performance of their engines. To help reduce the car’s unsprung mass, they feature dual-cast discs, which combine the strength of cast iron with the lightness of aluminium. Braking power is provided by efficient monobloc callipers with six pistons at the front and four at the rear acting on ventilated, cross drilled discs. These callipers not only deliver extremely short stopping distances but are highly resistant to brake fade when the car is driven hard and fast over long distances. As an option, the brake callipers can be specified in black, blue, silver or red. MASERATI STABILITY PROGRAMME The Maserati Stability Programme (MSP) is an advanced electronic stability control system that reduces torque from the engine and activates the brakes if the vehicle begins to deviate from its normal trajectory or if a skid is detected. All this happens in just a few milliseconds, and generally before the driver even realizes that it is occurring. The MSP system also combines a number of other devices including Anti Slip Regulation (ASR), which reduces wheel spin and improves traction, and Motor Spin Regulation (MSR) that prevents the wheels from locking up when changing down suddenly. An Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) stop the wheels from locking and distribute the braking force between the front and rear axles. A Brake Assistance System (BAS) then recognizes emergency stops and boosts the pressure in the hydraulic circuit for the ultimate in stopping power. A Hill Holder helps the driver when starting off on an uphill slope: on a gradient, this device keeps the car braked for a short time, thus allowing the driver’s foot to move from the brake to the accelerator pedal without the car rolling backwards. TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System continuously monitors tyre pressures by means of sensors fitted inside the wheel rims. The tyre pressure is shown on the display in the centre of the dashboard, and a warning light and audio alert inform the driver if any pressure drops below the optimal level, or in the event of a puncture. SAFETY The New Quattroporte. Safety 50 BI-XENON HEADLIGHTS AND ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM The outstanding lighting provided by the Bi-Xenon headlights is further enhanced by the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), which automatically adjusts the width and depth of the headlight beams, giving maximum light and hence providing maximum safety. This is made possible by a camera mounted in the rear-view mirror and sensors that monitor several different parameters, including the lights of other road users, the car’s speed, and the way it is being driven. If the road ahead is empty, the beam expands to its maximum width and depth for the best visibility, with no need to switch manually to full-beam mode. The AFS system comes on automatically when driving in bad weather, on motorways, or in town. In these circumstances, the system adjusts to increase visibility and enhance safe driving. The New Quattroporte. Safety 52 FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS AND REVERSING CAMERA To assist with manoeuvring in tight spaces, the Quattroporte comes equipped with parking sensors housed in the front and rear bumpers. Beeping noises increase in frequency as the obstacle approaches, whilst the TFT display in the centre of the instrument panel shows the car surrounded by symbols which light up in green, yellow or red depending on the remaining distance. In addition, a rear-view camera shows a view of what is behind the car on the Maserati Touch Control Plus display. Dynamic grid lines illustrate the maximum width of the vehicle and its projected path, based on the steering angle of the front wheels. Forward Collision Warning The Forward Collision Warning, available always in combination with the Adaptive Cruise Control, monitors vehicles ahead by means of a camera, and warns the driver if the car’s approach could escalate into a rear-end collision. This is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system, which provides additional braking during an emergency stop. In addition, if the warning does not prompt any action from the driver, the Automated Emergency Braking system automatically applies the brakes to reduce the car’s speed. LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM Thanks to a camera located in the interior rear-view mirror that monitors the road markings ahead, the Lane Departure Warning System helps the driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane on motorways and main roads. This reduces lane drift and the possibility of lateral collisions by warning the driver when the vehicle crosses lane markings without signalling. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. SURROUND VIEW CAMERA As a parking aid and to help the driver see into blind zones, the Surround View Camera provides a clear 360° view around the car. Two lateral cameras are housed underneath the door mirrors and, in conjunction with the front and rear cameras, display what is happening on the central console screen. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO Adaptive Cruise Control constantly monitors the amount of space between the Quattroporte and the vehicle ahead, maintaining a constant pre-set distance. With the Stop & Go function, the car will adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front until it comes to a complete stop; the Quattroporte will re-start automatically if the stop is less than two seconds. Conversely, when the vehicle ahead speeds up or moves into another lane, the system accelerates up to the pre-set speed. Blind Spot Alert and Rear Cross Path The Blind Spot Alert continually assesses the space between the Quattroporte and other nearby vehicles by scanning the blind spots on either side of the vehicle with radar-based sensors. When a vehicle enters one of these areas, a warning triangle appears in the door mirrors to alert the driver of the presence of a vehicle in the blind spot and if the indicator is activated to change lane a warning is sounded. The Rear Cross Path function works in a similar way, emitting the same warning when an unseen vehicle is detected approaching from the right or the left as the car reverses out of a parking space. The New Quattroporte. Infotainment 56 INFOTAINMENT Controls for your wellbeing. Sounds for your delight. MASERATI TOUCH CONTROL PLUS In the middle of the Quattroporte’s dashboard lies the new 8.4” Maserati Touch Control Plus unit (MTC Plus) that provides user-friendly access to the car’s many systems and devices. Being both simple and intuitive, and with very few buttons plus a highly responsive interface unit, it has been designed so that the driver is not distracted from the road when using it, and mastering it takes no time at all. There are three ways of operating the MTC Plus: by means of the new multitouchscreen, via the new rotary control in the central console, or through voice commands. The MTC Plus system includes the car’s radio, Bluetooth® and satellite navigation system along with connections to other external sources like mobile phones, tablets, and laptop computers. Via the Aux-In, USB sockets or the SD card reader, the user can also play music or, when the car is stationary, watch films and view images on the screen. In addition, the MTC Plus controls the front seat heating, as well as the car’s ventilation, steering wheel heating and the operation of the rear window blind. The menus of the MTC Plus have options for configuring many of the car’s main systems, whilst a new rotary control behind the gearshift adjusts the radio and other audio media settings. The infotainment system is truly state-of-the-art and is compatible with both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® smartphone mirroring functions. In addition, for iPhone® users, Apple’s Siri® system acts as their personal assistant, allowing them to perform numerous tasks using voice commands. Through simple spoken phrases, it is possible to make a call or access music, messages, reminders, emails, websites and much more. HARMAN KARDON PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM The Quattroporte features a powerful Harman Kardon Premium Sound System as standard, creating a clear and perfectly defined audio image for everyone on board. A state-of-the-art, 900-watt amplifier is the heart of the system, delivering excellent sound quality, whatever the source will be: radio, MP3 player, iPhone ® or audio streaming device. Twelve independent channels are employed, providing superb levels of control within a car environment and guaranteeing a truly inspirational experience that releases all the subtle nuances of the original recording. With ten high-powered speakers carefully positioned throughout the cabin, this audio system provides passengers with sublime sound on every seat in the Quattroporte. A special high-performance subwoofer handles the low-end frequencies with ease, whilst the mid-range drivers and tweeters ensure that every instrument and every artist can be appreciated to the full. The New Quattroporte. Infotainment 58 Music as it was intended to be heard: an uplifting experience from Bowers & Wilkins. For those seeking the ultimate acoustics in their Maserati Quattroporte, the answer is the new-generation Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System - the last word in sound perfection, designed by a company with 50 years’ experience in audio technology. It took expert ears and hours of listening to create the rich sound experience inside the Quattroporte, together with extensive research in the field of psychoacoustics - the science of how people perceive sound. Fifteen speakers, with midrange drivers and rear-woofers made from Kevlar®, have been strategically built into the car’s architecture, whilst a 1,280-watt amplifier ensures a totally immersive sound sensation for all on-board. The advanced aluminium tweeters capture the faintest subtleties on a track, whereas to create a rock-solid bass throughout the car, the engineers have incorporated Rohacell® into the system’s bass drivers - Rohacell® being a stiff, highly resilient material often used in the construction of rockets and aircraft. The system features QuantumLogic™ Surround Sound Technology, which digitally remodels signal streams and reconstructs the original recording of a musical piece, creating an authentic concert hall experience in the car. Along with this, the Clari-Fi function restores any details lost in music that has been digitally compressed, and removes distortions caused by the compression.

Linked to the Stop & Go function, the car adjusts to the speed of the vehicle in front until it comes to a complete stop. The Forward Collision Warning then monitors the vehicles ahead and warns the driver if the car’s approach could escalate into a rear-end collision. This is linked to the Advanced Brake Assist system, which provides additional braking during an emergency stop. In addition, if the alert does not prompt any action from the driver, the Automated Emergency Braking system automatically applies the brakes. The Lane Departure Warning System helps the driver keep the vehicle in the chosen lane, whilst a Blind Spot Alert scans the blind spots on either side of the Quattroporte and displays a warning if a vehicle is detected. The second package comprises all the features of the first, but also includes a Surround View Camera, which displays a clear 360° view around the car on the central console monitor. 1 - Adaptive Cruise Control.

Whilst Maserati’s headquarters has long been based in Modena, Italy, production of the Quattroporte is located at a recently opened factory in Grugliasco, just outside Turin. One billion euros were invested in renewing this plant, the exBertone works, which now employs around 2,000 people and builds not only the Quattroporte, but also the new Ghibli. Although the latest technology is utilized to help with the manufacturing process, skilled technicians man each station, keeping the assembly very much a handcrafted affair. By applying proven practices developed through the company’s World Class Manufacturing (WCM) system, the plant has a strong culture dedicated to producing the highest quality vehicles. Each car is made to order and, with literally millions of combinations of mechanical and trim specifications possible, a document is signed at each station to ensure that the exact car is built to the customer’s individual requirements. At Grugliasco, passion and production go hand-in-hand, maintaining the proud traditions of a globally celebrated brand. World of Maserati 98 Something so precious deserves special protection. Testing plays a crucial part in the manufacturing process at Grugliasco, with 16 special quality control stations arranged along the line. Every single Maserati passes through these, and more than 700 checks are carried out. After completion, the Quattroporte is subjected to all manner of quality control tests, looking at everything from the integrity of its weatherproofing to its handling on different road surfaces. Each car is run on a set of dynamic rollers and then taken out for an intensive 50 km road test on a wide mix of different surfaces, including mountains, motorways and city streets. Finally, senior Maserati inspectors go over the vehicle with the kid-glove treatment, and wrap it in a protective covering before it makes its way to the dealer and, ultimately, its new owner. It is this kind of care, professionalism and pride that is second to none within the industry. World of Maserati 100 The world of Maserati. Its heart races.
