QUATTROPORTE: 4.2 LITER V8 ENGINE. The Quattroporte is equipped with Maserati’s renowned 4,244 cc V8 engine with wet sump lubrication, designed in collaboration with Ferrari. The 90° V8 generates a stirring 400 hp (295 kW), along with generous amounts of torque: 339 lb-ft at 4,750 rpm. The crankcase and cylinder heads are made of an aluminum and silicon alloy, the main crankshaft is tempered steel, and there are five main bearings for exceptional balance. Two chain-driven overhead camshafts per bank control the timing, and its 32 valves are controlled by hydraulic tappets. The camshafts on the intake side are fitted with high pressure variable valve timing, with valve actuation times of less than 0.15 seconds. 33 The ignition and injection systems are fully integrated, with features that help detect operating malfunctions and provide emissions control. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) communicates with the other drive-train systems through a CAN line (Controlled Area Network) to help optimize engine management, and the accelerator uses electronic ‘drive by wire’ technology. All these features combine to deliver exceptional, smooth performance. This Maserati V8 has its own t e c h n o l o g y : ENGINES unique power delivery curve which results in Quattroporte drivers experiencing supreme driving comfort and an impecably smooth ride combined with stirring performance. Harnessing the prodigious power of the Quattroporte’s engine is a perfectly matched automatic 6-speed transmission that helps ensure truly effortless gear changing on local roads and in heavy traffic, along with the option of shifting manually when the opportunity for sportier driving presents itself. The automatic transmission features six gears: when the overdrive sixth gear is engaged, fuel consumption improves and sound levels fall. The Quattroporte’s power and performance figures say it all: Max Power: 400 hp (295 kW). Top Speed: 168 mph. 0 to 60 mph: 5.5 seconds. 35 4.2 Quattroporte S: 4.7 liter V8 engine. Under the hood of the Quattroporte S is Maserati’s definitive V8 powerplant: the new 4.7 liter unit that generates 425 hp at 7,000 rpm, and 361 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm. Identified by its red cylinder head covers, this 4,691 cc engine has been specially developed to boost the car’s performance and make the Maserati Quattroporte S a totally exhilarating drive. The 447 cc difference in size versus the Quattroporte’s 4,244 cc engine has been achieved by proportionally increasing both t e c h n o l o g y : ENGINES the bore and stroke of each cylinder. Maserati also paid particular attention to the length of the engine, allowing it to have a very short piston bore-to-cylinder center ratio. The thin steel cylinder liners are coated with a low friction compound to maximize the engine’s efficiency, while the 90° crankshaft keeps vibration levels to a minimum. Although designed to produce immense power and a rapid rise and fall in engine revs – characteristics typical of racing engines – fuel consumption, smooth running, and quiet operation were also high priorities to engineers of the Quattroporte S. This remarkable engine manages to produce a massive 82% of its maximum torque at just 2500 rpm. This translates into exceptional pick-up from low speeds without having to change gears, which in turn means optional paddle shifters mounted on column of steering wheel. relaxed and comfortable driving, especially during highway driving. The power and performance figures of the Quattroporte S are highly impressive: Max Power: 425 hp (317 kW). Top Speed: 174 mph. 0 to 60 mph: 5.3 seconds. 37 4.7 Automatic transmission. In keeping with its role as a luxury sedan, the Quattroporte offers a six-speed, hydraulic automatic transmission system that is a model of smoothness and refinement. The collaboration between Maserati and German transmission expert ZF has resulted in an exceptionally flexible and responsive unit that allows changes at engine speeds of up to 7200 rpm. t e c h n o l o g y : TRANS M ISSION In normal circumstances, gear shifting is managed automatically, the system’s computer software determines at what engine speeds the changes are to take place, and how quickly. However, the driver is also given two options that impact the gearshifting pattern: Sport mode and Ice mode. By pressing the ‘Sport’ button gearchanges are still managed automatically, but up-shifting happens at higher engine speeds and the Quattroporte 4.2 actual changes take place more rapidly creating a sportier drive. The Ice mode is used when driving over low-grip surfaces. To reduce the risk of traction loss, it limits the amount of torque transmitted to the wheels by activating the ASR traction control, and prevents the engine from revving above 3,000 rpm. Ice mode also starts the car off in second gear instead of first, for less wheelspin in inclement conditions. The transmission also gives the driver complete control over the gearchanging with Manual mode, where sequential changes are made via the gearstick on the central console for a more sporty, involved style of driving, or via optional steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. In the Quattroporte S, the extra power of the larger 4.7 liter engine is exploited to the fullest, assisted by upgraded software within the transmission unit. This enhances the car’s acceleration and its sporty Quattroporte S 4.7 response up through the gears. 39 gear shift knob and central console Handling: suspension, traction control and steering. The outstanding torsional rigidity of the Quattroporte’s unibody leads to superb handling and improved levels of safety – dynamic aspects of the car that are matched by its ride quality and driving comfort. A highly sophisticated anti-dive and anti-squat suspension system, with front and rear wishbones, enhances the car’s stability and safety engineering by preventing the front end from diving during heavy braking, and the rear end from t e c h n o l o g y : D Y NA M ICS pitching down under hard acceleration. Recent improvements to the suspension system of the 4.2 liter Quattroporte, along with new settings, provide extra comfort and provide a very smooth ride, with minimized movement. Alternatively, Maserati’s highly acclaimed Skyhook active suspension is available as an option. The new 4.7 liter Quattroporte S comes with Skyhook suspension standard – a system designed to automatically control the damping and allows the driver to alter the suspension’s behavior. New valve and damper settings have led to the optimization of the car’s roadholding and responsiveness with the increased power of the 4.7 liter engine. 41 M ASERATI Q UATTROPORTE S s u s p e n s i o n s y s t e m The Skyhook system. Maserati’s Skyhook system continually monitors and adjusts the suspension settings via aluminum, gas-filled dampers with proportional valves. The optimum damping rates are automatically set according to the prevailing road conditions and the current driving style. This provides a smooth and comfortable ride without sacrificing any sportiness or driver involvement. Skyhook uses sensors that monitor the movements of each wheel and the car’s body; its control unit then analyzes this t e c h n o l o g y : D Y NA M ICS information, together with feedback about how the car is being driven, and instantly adjusts the damper settings by acting on their proportional valves. In addition, the Skyhook system allows the driver to choose the way the suspension behaves with the option of two different settings: Normal and Sport (selected via the ‘Sport’ button). ‘Normal’ offers comparatively soft damping for a more comfortable ride. By pressing the ‘Sport’ button, the system switches to a harder, stiffer set-up that enhances the agility and responsiveness of the car. 43 Stability control and traction control. The Quattroporte’s dynamic handling is further assisted by the Maserati Stability Program, or MSP – an important safety system specially developed by Maserati that is designed to detect any anomalies in the car’s trajectory, and then activates the brakes or cuts power from the engine to help restore the car’s equilibrium. This works in conjunction with the Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Automatic Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control functions. The MSP can operate in two different modes (Sport mode - more permissive, Normal mode - more restrictive), selected by the driver using the ‘Sport’ button on the central console, which simultaneously changes the damper set-up, stability control and gear shifting speed. Steering. Steering responsiveness is yet another important part of the Quattroporte’s dynamic appeal. The electronic servo system helps ensure that the power steering acts in direct proportion to the car’s speed, so there is always the right amount of ‘feel’ when driving fast, along with light and easy handling when maneuvering in tight spaces and parking. Weight distribution. Crucial to a car’s dynamic handling is its overall balance, which is optimized in the Quattroporte due to its unique weight distribution. In the Quattroporte the engine is located behind the front axle, toward the cabin, transferring more weight to the center of the car. With the transmission located behind the engine the Quattroporte is ideally balanced, with 49% of its weight at the front and 51% at the back. Traction is enhanced due to the additional load over the rear, driving technology : mechanics wheels, improving acceleration and braking perfomance. QUATTROPORTE Braking system. The Maserati Quattroporte’s braking system comprises four ventilated discs (13 in/330 mm at both the front and rear) with four-piston fixed calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear. To optimize its performance and stability, the system features ABS which helps to prevent the wheels from locking during hard braking, and EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) which optimally distributes braking force between the front and rear axles. These are both integrated into the Maserati Stability Program (MSP), a control system including features that are instrumental in shortening stopping distances and helping the driver maintain directional control of the car while braking MANCA Q u a t t r o p o r t e • THE 1 3 - i n c h VENTED B RA K E ROTORS W ITH FOUR - PISTON CALIPERS hard, even on slippery surfaces. 45 drivetrain of the quattroporte QUATTROPORTE s Braking system. The Quattroporte S has an exclusive high performance braking system, which uses the very latest technology: dual-cast front brake discs. Developed in collaboration with Brembo, a world leader in braking systems, the front dual-cast discs consist of a cast iron rotor and an aluminum hub - combining cast iron’s superior braking performance at high temperatures with the light weight of aluminum. At the front, the discs are operated by six-piston mono- technology : mechanics bloc aluminum brake calipers, which provide more resistance to brake-fade in extreme conditions. The use of the aluminum hub helps keep the unsprung weight of the rotor down, which improves the handling and balance of the car.

The turn signals on the new Quattroporte range, both front and rear, feature 10 distinctive and exceptionally efficient LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). Both the Quattroporte and Quattroporte S feature self-levelling Bi-Xenon headlights. The Bi-Xenon technology : illumination and safety headlights are enhanced further by the new Adaptive Light Control system, a mechanism that makes the headlights turn in the direction of the car when going around curves. This improves illumination of the road and surrounding areas, and is therefore an important safety feature when travelling at night on winding roads. While the headlights are on, an electronic control unit monitors the steering wheel and its angle, as well as the car’s speed. With this information the headlights activate special electric motors that rotate the light cones through angles of up to 15° on the inside light and 7.5° on the outside while driving around curves. For safety reasons the system only works at speeds over 3 mph, and deactivates above 75 mph.The foglights are separate units that are integrated into the front bumper, and provide a particularly broad beam. The rear light units also feature LEDs. Some key advantages of LEDs are they illuminate quicker than ordinary lightbulbs, are brighter, last longer, and use less energy. 49 Safety engineering. The passive safety features on the Quattroporte are designed to work together to form an advanced passenger protection system. Airbags are controlled via four sensors which are located at the front and sides of the car, and through a control unit next to the central console. In the case of a collision sensors are designed to allow the dual stage front airbags to inflate in proportion to the severity of the impact. The Quattroporte is also fitted with side airbags incorporated in the front seats, and window curtain airbags to help provide front and rear passengers with additional protection in the event of a lateral impact. The seatbelts, both front and rear, feature pretensioners and load limiters, so that passengers are held securely even under extremely strong deceleration. Rear Isofix fasteners offer secure mountings for child-seats so that even the youngest passengers can be properly protected. The Quattroporte is also specified with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) to continuously monitor the tire pressure and alert the driver to air pressure loss. comfort. From the driver’s point of view, perhaps the most important change to the new Quattroporte’s interior is the driver’s seat, which is now even more comfortable and ergonomic – an improvement that has been achieved without impinging on the generous legroom in the rear. In addition, the seat shape has been altered, featuring a new cushion design. Other interior alterations include: modifications to the multifunctional steering-wheel which now has racing-inspired hand grips; controls technology : interior located closer together on the central console; new graphics on the instrument panel and clock face; and a small storage compartment that has been added to the central console. The Quattroporte features 14-position electronically adjustable front seats with 4-way lumbar adjustments. The driver’s seat has a 3-position memory and an easy entry/exit system in which the seat moves back and the steering column is raised when the driver enters or exits the vehicle. The Comfort Pack that provides air ventilation, and a massage function on the front seats is an option on the Quattroporte models. The rear seats also have a 4-way adjustable range for both reach and angle so that the people in the back can easily find a comfortable position by just the touch of a button. The Comfort Pack is also available on the rear seats to provide all passengers with maximum comfort. 51 The 15.9 cu-ft trunk is uniform in shape and can accommodate up to two golf bags, depending on their size. To maximize the carrying capacity there is an optional luggage set that has been specially designed and fitted for the Quattroporte. Trunk space is also optimized by the provision of a tire repair kit with its own compressor instead of a spare wheel. However, a 17-inch spare wheel is available as an option, which can be fitted under the floor of the trunk (in the case of the Quattroporte S, this is an 18-inch spare wheel). The high level of standard equipment in the new Quattroporte range includes a refrigerated compartment inside the front armrest, two retracting cupholders in the central rear armrest, and an electric sunblind for the rear window. controls. The Quattroporte’s interior is a masterpiece of ergonomic design, with all the most important controls and buttons within immediate reach to the driver. The dynamic controls (Ice, Sport, and MSP Off buttons) are located close to the driver. The central locking on/off button and rear window technology : illumination and safety sun blind control are situated separately to the right of the central display. The bottom of the console then contains a bank of controls with its own display screen for the front and rear climate control system. Simplicity and user-friendliness are key to the equipment and features found in the Quattroporte, so each button has just one function, and the graphics on it immediately identify its function. The central console controls include the electric handbrake, which is slightly inset to prevent accidental use. To disengage the electric handbrake, the driver lifts the lever or simply shifts the car into gear (Reverse or Drive). Not only is this a more convenient way of using the handbrake, it is an important safety feature as well since the brake is automatically engaged every time the engine is turned off. The ‘Park Off ’ button on the dashboard allows this function to be disabled if the car has to be moved with the engine off. Last but not least, the central console is fitted with a double cupholder with chromed edges. 53 Quality of life on board. The Quattroporte’s navigation and entertainment systems have been completely updated with the new Maserati Multi Media System. Developed in cooperation with Bose , the Maserati Multi Media System is truly state-of-the-art, with an ® XM satellite radio, satellite navigation system, CD and MP3 player, music file library, iPod interface, 40 technology : illumination and safety ® ® GB hard drive, voice controls, Bluetooth , and a USB port with USB reader function. ® Audio is provided by the Bose Surround Sound System, which comes standard in all Quattroporte. This ® system performs magnificently for everyone on board, wherever they are seated, because it has been acoustically engineered specifically for the new Quattroporte interior. A 7-inch high-resolution TFT color screen in the center of the dashboard displays all of the unit’s functions. The system is easy to operate via the system’s controls, while some features can be accessed more safely when driving by means of the buttons on the multi-functional steering wheel. Voice controls for the audio and satellite navigation systems, plus the Bluetooth cellphone interface, mean that the driver ® need not look away from the road when operating these features. The on-board computer displays the trip data: average fuel consumption, journey time, distance travelled and average speed. 55 MASERATI Bose ® Multi Media System. The new Multi Media System developed in collaboration with Bose takes the concept of in-car entertainment to new heights with a “retro” style ® and distinctive user interface characteristics. It features a DVD player, .wav, .wma and .acc file reading, UMusic , Music Library, display proximity sensors for functional controls, a special radio tuning system, ® special personalization functions, as well as an iPod interface. ® The display proximity sensor is particularly innovative. The sensor automatically detects that the user is about to touch the right-side control knob or ring, and in response the system then enlarges the appropriate information menu in the center of the screen. When the hand is moved away, the display returns to its original view. Another extremely useful innovation is the UMusic function, which acts as ® a virtual DJ by playing the user’s favorite tracks as previously memorized by the system.

The automatic dual-zone climate control system helps maintain comfortable conditions inside the cabin by automatically adjusting the interior temperature and ventilation in relation to the outdoor temperature, sunlight intensity, and air humidity. There is a sensor that monitors incoming air quality and prevents contaminated air or unpleasant odors from entering the car by automatically activating the air recycling function. The system is also fitted with an anti-misting sensor: technology : interior if glass temperature drops below the point when glass surfaces begin to fog, this function automatically acts to reduce the humidity content of the air. The concept of maintaining an ideal climate also extends to the rear, where six vents are located - two on the central console, two on the central pillars and two at foot level. This can be further enhanced with an optional rear climate control console that allows passengers in the back to set their own ventilation rates through the various outlets independently. Additional on-board equipment. Other standard electronic features installed on the Quattroporte include the Light Sensor that monitors the amount of light in the surrounding environment and switches the headlights on and off accordingly, and the Rain Sensor that detects the presence of rain on the windshield, and activates the wipers adjusting their speed in relation to its intensity. All Quattroporte models come with Cruise Control, which maintains a set cruising speed, an anti-theft system, volumetric ultrasound sensors, perimeter protection and an alarm hidden in the engine compartment, plus automatic door locking that is activated when the car pulls away from rest. Tire pressure sensors, electrochromatic interior and exterior rearview mirrors and rear parking sensors are standard, while the front parking sensors are optional. 57 Optional rear climate controls M ASERATI Q UATTROPORTE • Q UATTROPORTE S C c r a f t s m a n s h i p. fine woods. The ultimate care and attention is lavished on the interior detailing of the Quattroporte, and the fit and finish reflects the very best in Italian craftsmanship. The extensive use of wood for large areas rather than just small decorative inlays gives the interior a special feeling of luxury and warmth. A wide range of wood types are available, including two new varieties that have been specially introduced for the new range: Vavona and Polished Wengé. There is also the option of Piano Black finish, and now Blue Lacque, as well. 59 m a r r o n e c o r n i o l a l e a t h e r a n d p o l i s h e d w e n g É w o o d SH o w n H e r e Vavona wood has a warm, amber hue. Its grain pattern is curved and almost floral, with a comforting natural look. Vavona blends in perfectly with all the warm leather colors in the range. Polished Wengé, with its deep graining and dark shade of brown, comes from the tropics. It is a dark, dense wood that projects feelings of warmth and reassurance. Blue Lacque is the new alternative to Piano Black. This has been specially introduced to match the Navy Blue leather or to create a fresh contrast with the other light colors in the range. craftsmanship Carefully selected for their flawless quality, all the woods undergo a lengthy process that involves hand-crafting techniques as well as the latest preparation and treatment methods. Customers can then personalize their car still further by opting for exquisite inlays to be added to the wood trim. 61 polished wengÉ craftsmanship SA B B IA LEATHER o n c o m f o r t p a c k s e a t s M ARRONE CORNIOLA LEATHER o n c o m f o r t p a c k s e a t s 63 Poltrona Frau ® leather. Quattroporte interiors are upholstered in the finest leather from Poltrona Frau , a company famous for the quality of its hides and the traditional processing techniques it ® uses. Its products are magnificent examples of Italian craftsmanship. The Poltrona Frau leather used for ® the interior trim of the Quattroporte goes through a rigorous selection process that rejects all but the softest and most tactile of high quality hides. The treatments they then undergo add durability, strength, and a protective finish. Hand finishing processes create a leather that is soft and snug in winter, yet cool and comfortable in the summer - and help give it that very special feature that makes ageing a factor that actually enhances its appeal. For customers seeking the most extravagant and exclusive leather, Maserati is proud to offer Poltrona Frau ‘Luxury’ natural leather. Extraordinarily soft to the touch, it gives the car’s occupants a unique ® feeling of sensuality and refinement. The Poltrona Frau logo and double stitching bring added cachet to ® the upholstery, and make the Quattroporte’s interior even more luxurious and sophisticated. Two new colors of leather make their debut in the new Quattroporte range: Sabbia, which is a natural earth tone and very elegant, and Marrone Corniola, a contemporary brown shade with a striking sporty look. Interiors. Literally millions of different color combinations can be chosen for the interior of the Quattroporte. There are six different types of fine wood: Rosewood, Burl Walnut with Bois de Rose inlays, Mahogany with Bois de Rose inlays, Polished Wengé (also available with inlays in Bois de Rose), or Vavona. Alternatively there are solid interior finishes in Piano Black or Blue Lacque. Heated front seats are standard and heated rear seats are optional, along with the full Comfort Pack that provides air ventilation and massage. The optional Alcantara roof lining can be ordered in Beige, Pearl Beige, Grey craftsmanship or Black, while the upper dashboard, rear shelf, and stitching are available in many different colors. The wood and leather steering wheel comes in all the types of wood and Piano Black finish (Blue Lacque not available on steering wheel), while for the ultimate in opulence there’s the Luxury version of the Poltrona Frau Natural Leather. ® 65 Driving dynamics. Various options are available to emphasize the Quattroporte’s sporty character and intensify the driving experience. These include special ball-polished 19-inch 9-spoke wheels, 7-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels, and ‘Active Shifting’ gearshift paddles on the steering column. EXECUTIVE GT PACK.
