RACING’S TRAILBLAZERS
FANGIO TOLD HER, “YOU GO TOO FAST. YOU TAKE
TOO MANY RISKS.” SHE WAS HAVING NONE OF IT.
Maserati's success is owed to many things, but perhaps most important is a willingness to take
some risks, to try things that stray from conventional wisdom. Maria Teresa de Filippis is a perfect
example. Taking up her brothers on a bet in 1948, Maria proved that she could indeed go very
fast in a car—after some practice, she won the very first race she entered. A woman driver was
extremely rare in those days—even frowned upon—but Maserati knew talent when they saw it
and signed her on as a works driver. She tested new high-performance models and participated
in races, including driving the Maserati A6GCS at Targa Florio. A tortuous course set in Sicily’s
Madonie Mountains, Targa Florio was among the very first auto-racing events and to this day is
still considered one of its most challenging. With an extraordinary number of corners, sheer drops
and obstacles, those who endured and came out on top at Targa Florio are still recognized today
as the world’s best drivers and automakers—Maserati and Maria set the bar. Those around her,
including the world champion Juan Manuel Fangio, advised Maria to slow things down, to play
it safer. Apparently Maria, like the Maseratis she loved, didn’t take that advice. The rest is history.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A RACING PEDIGREE INSPIRES YOU?
YOU END UP WITH AUTOMOBILES THAT ARE ALTOGETHER INSPIRING.
AT THE WHEEL OF HER MASERATI 250F, DE FILIPPIS MADE MORE THAN HISTORY AS THE FIRST
WOMAN TO COMPETE IN FORMULA ONE. SHE MADE HER MARK ON BOTH A BRAND AND A SPORT.
THE UNMISTAKABLE INFLUENCE OF
A LEGENDARY RACING HERITAGE.
A first impression of Quattroporte may center on its opulent
amenities. Once behind the wheel, however, its true sporting
pedigree becomes abundantly clear. Maserati was born a maker
of race cars more than a century ago. There are many moments
from that racetrack history that live on to this day. As the fastest
production car ever built by Maserati, the aim of Quattroporte is
simple: to make each drive an unforgettable experience.

FROM RACETRACKS TO THE OPEN ROAD
THE GREATEST RACES LAUNCH FROM A STANDING START.
THAT’S THE APPROACH WE TAKE TO EVERY MORNING’S
DRIVE IN THE WORLD OF MASERATI.
Since its remarkable debut in 1963, Maserati Quattroporte has expressed the marque’s proud
history of technological innovation, unmistakable design and hard-fought racing success. The
first of the Italian automakers to pair sports-car sensibilities with luxury-car space and comfort,
Maserati continues to offer a rare mix of elegance and performance with this sixth-generation
Quattroporte series. Taking cues from its original Pietro Frua design, the vehicle’s generous size
is streamlined with artful lines. Accessibility is paramount; its
namesake four doors graciously welcome driver and passengers into a sumptuous interior worthy
of a private club. Of course, that opulence also applies to its 3.8-liter V8 powerplant, which
ensures there is a lavish amount of power to usher this vehicle and its occupants nimbly, even
during daily commutes that rival Targa Florio. It is for those drivers whose lifestyle finds them on
the highway but whose hearts are at the racetrack...Quattroporte truly is the best of both worlds.

EXTERIOR DESIGN
CRAFTED BY SCULPTORS.
OWNED BY CONNOISSEURS.
For all its power and technical prowess, it is unmistakable Italian design that sets Maserati
Quattroporte so clearly apart. Like a work of fine sculpture, its sweeping, sleek lines strongly
express the underlying passion that has long been associated with this carmaker and its devoted
drivers. The focal point of this modern-day masterpiece is its signature Maserati oval grille.
As tradition dictates, the Trident badge stands out on the grille, highlighted with red accents.
Headlamps merge seamlessly into the lines that shape the car’s side.
A sequence of muscular curves starts from the trademark triple air vents located behind the front
wheels and continue to the wraparound rear light clusters. The model’s familiar triangular C-pillar
is another nod to Quattroporte’s innate sporting character, as is the integral rear deck spoiler,
which generates downforce at high speeds. In all, this impeccable design not only reflects the
marque’s rich, century-old history, but Italy’s age-old arts tradition, as well.

INTERIOR DESIGN
IT IS CRAFTED TO REWARD
ALL OF THE SENSES WITH EXCITEMENT.
Since its inception, Quattroporte has been the consummate host, going above and beyond in
efforts to ensure the comfort of its guests. So it goes without saying that only the finest will
do: Poltrona Frau leather, fine wood and available handcrafted contrast stitching all create a
wonderful first impression. Beyond that, the Poltrona Frau leather front seats offer outstanding
comfort and provide excellent lateral support when cornering enthusiastically. In addition, the
all-electric adjustment ensures that the perfect driving position is easy to achieve in terms of height, reach and seatback angle,
along with four different lumbar settings. For the ultimate in driving comfort, the GTS model is standard equipped with electrically
adjustable pedals, and the option is available for S and S Q4 models. Particular attention has
been focused on the occupants of the rear seats. The standard version comes with a comfortable
rear bench seat for three people, complete with a central armrest. Alternatively, as an option, the
car can be specified with two ventilated, electrically adjustable single seats for total relaxation
on long journeys.

In the driver's seat, there is a feeling of total confidence
and command. Comfort is not a subjective impression but
a fact, thanks to the special attention paid to the onboard
spaciousness and the arrangement of seats. Intuitive controls
are subtly positioned so as not to detract from the overall
design of the interior, the tactile surfaces and the high quality
of the materials. The spaciousness of Quattroporte is enhanced
with the sleek lines of the broad dashboard, the central tunnel
and the doors, enveloping all onboard in an atmosphere of
complete luxury. The driver’s controls are operated by a cluster
of buttons on the central tunnel, beside the gear lever. A very
special clock that bears the Maserati Trident complements the
Quattroporte's unique dash layout.

new levels of audio refinement to the Maserati Quattroporte.
Utilizing the very latest in digital technology, a state-of-theart 900-watt amplifier is at the heart of this system, delivering
stupendous sound quality, whatever the source: radio, CD,
iPhone® or any other similar device. Twelve independent channels
are employed, providing a truly inspirational experience that
releases all the subtle nuances of the original recording. With
ten high-powered speakers carefully positioned throughout
the cabin, the system produces 360 degrees of sublime sound
reproduction irrespective of where the listener is seated. A special
high-performance subwoofer handles the low-end frequencies
with ease, while the midrange drivers and tweeters ensure
that every instrument makes its presence felt on this virtual
concert platform.
The epitome of Italian design, the interior of the Quattroporte
features leather and handcrafted contrast stitching. For the
ultimate touch of style and sophistication, the Maserati Trident
can be stitched into the seat headrests of the Quattroporte,
to replace the normal embossing. This feature is available in
conjunction with fine-grain extended leather. With black leather
upholstery, there is a choice of three colors of contrast stitching:
red, gray and tan. Furthermore, on red leather upholstery, the
trident can also be stitched in black. Seat ventilation, with the
central part of the seat and back upholstered in perforated
leather, is available as an option.
The luxury and refinement of Maserati’s roadgoing cars has
always been underscored by the presence of a clock on the
dashboard. Skilled clockmakers were commissioned to create
a unique timepiece styled to complement the Quattroporte.

Uncompromising automotive excellence is a Maserati promise
that extends to every aspect of the driving experience,
including providing immersive concert-hall acoustics in the
Maserati Quattroporte. Its new-generation premium surround
system, created in association with high-end sound specialists
Bowers & Wilkins, offers a sound experience that is just as
thrilling as Quattroporte’s distinctive, throaty exhaust note.
This optional hi-fi system reproduces every subtle note to
perfection, with unparalleled dynamic purity. The system is
architecturally designed and enhanced with digital features
to ensure a rich sound experience in every seating position,
so everyone in the car reaps the sonic benefits. It is stunning
sound for an astounding car.

BOWERS & WILKINS
HERE, THERE TRULY IS NOT A BAD
SEAT IN THE HOUSE.
Thoughtful touches are simply a given with Quattroporte, yet
it is obvious that with the incredible acoustics experienced
with the optional Bowers & Wilkins Premium Surround Sound
system, special attention was paid to perfecting and tailoring
this feature. In fact, the engineers responsible for Bowers &
Wilkins’ flagship 800 Series Diamond Speakers tuned this
system to match the unique environment of Quattroporte.
It took expert ears and hours of listening to create the rich
sound experience—15 speakers were strategically placed and
built into the car’s architecture to ensure the best possible
acoustics. In all, the system raises the bar for sound clarity
38
and detail, much in keeping with Maserati’s high-reaching
standards. Additionally, speaker placement creates a completely
immersive sound experience, reaching every corner and every
ear. Harman’s QuantumLogic signal processing and AuraVox
equalization ensure maximum fidelity and sonic accuracy.
The Maserati Premium Surround Sound system integrates tried
and trusted acoustic innovations used in Bowers & Wilkins’
most advanced home systems. The speaker cone material
includes Kevlar, introduced in the 1970s as the result of a
long-standing commitment by Bowers & Wilkins to acoustic
research and development. The system employs aluminum
tweeters to capture the subtleties of music—something as
faint as delicate brush strokes across the surface of a cymbal
are projected with amazing accuracy. To create rock-solid bass,
engineers incorporated Rohacell into the system’s bass drivers.
Rohacell is a stiff, highly resilient material often used in the
construction of rockets and aircraft.
Advanced and versatile, the audio system is compatible with most
disc formats and features a built-in USB connector, so it is easy
to plug in your iPhone® or any other digital music-playing device.

THE SPIRIT OF LUXURY,
EVOLVED INTO SPIRITED LUXURY.
The Quattroporte S pushes the frontiers of automotive luxury while still displaying that most Italian
of characteristics: passion. Distinguishing it from the GTS version and adding extra glamour to
its imposing presence are a number of stylistic features, including aggressive, oval twin exhaust
pipes and 19-inch Poseidone wheels that are fitted as standard. And since connoisseurs have
both an eye and an ear for opulence, Quattroporte S features a compact, lightweight exhaust
system, which includes an air valve system that can be found on
all Maserati automobiles. Beneath the hood is Maserati’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine,
a brilliant masterpiece of engineering that develops 404 HP, delivering exhilarating power with
maximum efficiency. Its unmistakable engine note distinguishes it from every other V6 on the
road, thanks to a compact, lightweight exhaust system that keeps the sound discreet and
understated at lower RPMs. However, when the Sport button is pressed, the bypass valves open
up, releasing a thrilling, powerful roar. The Quattroporte S accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just
5.0 seconds and has a top speed of 177 mph. USA model only, not available in Canada.

MASERATI PRESENTS
THE ULTIMATE SUPERSEDAN.
The entire essence of Maserati can be summed up in a single name plus three accompanying
letters: Quattroporte GTS. This, the most powerful Quattroporte in the range and the company’s
flagship, is the perfect synthesis of luxury and performance. It is a car that can accelerate from
0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, transforming itself from an exclusive luxury sedan into a thrilling sports
machine with a top speed of 190 mph. Underneath the hood, Maserati’s innovative 3.8-liter
twin-turbocharged V8 engine conducts a symphony of sound
and exhilaration. Manufactured in Maranello, a city in the Terra di Motor (Italy’s “Motor Valley”),
the engine utilizes a high-pressure direct-fuel-injection system that improves combustion by
injecting the atomized fuel straight into the combustion chamber. Three engine modes can be
selected: Normal, Sport and ICE (Increased Control & Efficiency). The use of parallel-mounted,
low-inertia, twin-scroll turbines helps prevent turbo lag and ensures swifter accelerator reaction
and better responsiveness across the powerband. The Quattroporte GTS complies with the most
stringent emissions criteria and features Start & Stop engine function as standard.

TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY
THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT A PIECE
OF ART. IT IS A GALLERY.
The Quattroporte means exhilaration and enjoyment for both
driver and passengers alike, thanks to Maserati’s overwhelming
passion for engineering innovation and excellence. The engine,
chassis, transmission and suspension all work together
in perfect harmony to deliver the very highest levels of
performance and comfort—qualities for which Maserati is
world famous. Components are manufactured with precision
and care by dedicated individuals, and are the product of
high-tech processes that set new standards in automotive
manufacturing.
The sophisticated eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox delivers
precise gearchanges and exceptional performance, together
with impressive weight savings: the eight-speed transmission
is almost nine pounds lighter than the six-speed version in the
previous Quattroporte. The hydraulic gearbox, mounted at
the front along with the engine, is assisted by auto-adaptive
software that is now standard on all Maserati models. It is able
to recognize both the way the car is being driven and the road
conditions, and adapt the gear changing mode accordingly.
There are five operating modes, selected using the buttons by
the gear lever: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual
Sport (which offers the driver full control of the transmission) and
the Increased Control & Efficiency (ICE) mode, where gearshifts
take place automatically and are almost unnoticeable—for
unrivaled comfort. The Maserati Quattroporte still offers the
kind of outstanding handling for which the marque is famous,
together with levels of driving pleasure normally associated with
much smaller models. The car’s optimal weight distribution is
a major influence here, but minimizing weight is also a crucial
factor. Large amounts of aluminum are used in the construction
of the chassis and body, considerably reducing weight, while
special steel reinforcements ensure outstanding torsional
rigidity. Like every Maserati, the Quattroporte has an extremely
sophisticated suspension setup, which is combined with the
latest version of the Skyhook electronic system that features
continuous damping variation shock absorbers. The basic setting
prioritizes comfort, whereas for more dynamic handling, the
shock absorbers immediately stiffen when the driver presses
the suspension button on the center console, thus significantly
reducing load transfer during sporty driving.
53
SUSPENSION AND BRAKING
The aluminum arms of the double-wishbone front suspension
are higher up for more precise handling, while the five-arm
multilink system at the rear is ideal for delivering superb ride
comfort along with sports car-like performance. The braking
system benefits from innovations already introduced on
other models in the range. It now incorporates developments
designed to deliver a quieter operation but with no loss of
efficiency. Dual-cast discs combine the strength of cast iron
with the lightness of aluminum to reduce the unsprung mass.
Efficient monobloc calipers provide the braking power, with
six pistons at the front and four pistons at the rear acting on
ventilated, cross-drilled discs. On the GTS, the front discs are
380 mm x 34 mm, whereas on the S and S Q4 versions they
are 360 mm x 32 mm. At the rear, all three versions feature
350 mm x 28 mm discs. Steering sensitivity is fundamental in
giving the driver the right feel at the wheel. Instead of an
electrohydraulic system, Maserati has equipped the Quattroporte
with a servo-assisted hydraulic system to channel an immediate
response directly to the driver’s hands, with no annoying
impression of artificial “help” when cornering at higher speeds.
55
MASERATI STABILITY PROGRAM (MSP)
PARKING SENSORS AND REVERSING CAMERA
HILL HOLDER
The Maserati Stability Program (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.
To assist with maneuvering the car in tight spaces, the Maserati
Quattroporte comes equipped with parking sensors housed in
the front and rear bumpers. Beeping noises increase in frequency
as the obstacle approaches, while the TFT display at the center
of the instrument panel shows the car surrounded by symbols
which light up in green, yellow or red, depending upon the
remaining distance. In addition, there is a rearview camera, fitted
close to the trunk lock that shows a view of what is behind the
car on the Maserati Touch Control display.
To help the driver when starting off on an uphill slope, the
Quattroporte comes with the Hill Holder system. 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.
The system combines a number of devices including Anti-Slip
Regulation (ASR), which reduces wheelspin and improves traction,
and Motor Spin Regulation (MSR), which prevents wheels from
locking up when changing down suddenly. The Antilock Braking
System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
monitor the car’s braking, stopping the wheels from locking and
distributing 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.
Tire PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ( TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a device that
continuously monitors tire pressures by means of sensors fitted
inside the wheel rims. The tire pressure is shown on the display
at the center of the dashboard, and a beeper and warning light
alert the driver if this drops below the optimal level or in the event
of a puncture.
CRUISE CONTROL
The Maserati Quattroporte comes equipped with Cruise Control,
operated from the steering wheel. The set speed is shown on the
display at the middle of the instrument panel and is maintained
even when the road climbs or descends—the system makes the
car accelerate or decelerate accordingly.
56
ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
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 beam.
This is made possible by a camera mounted in the rearview 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 advantages offered by
the AFS system are perceived especially in case of bad weather
and for motorway or town driving. In these conditions the system
adjusts automatically to increase visibility and driving safety.
ELECTRonIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
The Quattroporte is equipped with an Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB) that is engaged via a control on the gear lever surround
instead of with a conventional mechanical lever. If necessary, it
can be used when the car is moving: the system communicates
with the MSP and acts on all four wheels to obtain an immediate
braking action (a deceleration of 0.5 g), without any loss of
stability, until the control is released.
BLIND SPOT ALERT (BSA)
The Blind Spot Alert (BSA) system monitors the zones around the
driver that cannot be seen in the door mirrors. When a vehicle
enters one of these areas, a warning triangle appears in the door
mirror; should the driver then activate the indicator to change
lane, a warning is sounded. The Rear Cross Path (RCP) 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.
European model shown.
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) consists of six air bags designed to provide added protection along with the seat belt system.
AIR BAGS
S E A T B E LT P R E T E N S I O N E R S A N D A C T I V E H E A D R E S T S
The Maserati Quattroporte comes equipped with six air bags.
Two front air bags, both dual-stage, shield the driver and
front passenger in the event of collision, while their torsos
and hips are further protected by two side air bags located in
the front seats. There are also two window air bags fitted
in the roof next to the central pillar that cushion the heads of
the front and rear passengers if the car is struck from the side.
The front seat belts are fitted with electronically controlled
pyrotechnic pretensioners and the latest-generation load
limiters. The system communicates with a sensor to determine
the seriousness of a collision, and then activates with precisely
the right amount of force to reel in the optimum length of belt.
If the car is hit from behind, the active headrests of the two
front seats automatically move in closer to the occupants’ heads
to reduce the risk of whiplash injury. Both side seats at the rear
are fitted with ISOFIX fasteners for child seats, ensuring that the
youngest passengers are properly protected as well.

MANUFACTURING
A GLORIOUS COLLABORATION
OF MAN AND MACHINE.
While Maserati headquarters and manufacturing have long been based in Modena, Italy,
production of the Quattroporte flagship sedan is located at a recently opened Maserati plant in
Grugliasco, Italy—outside of Turin. The plant is named after company patriarch Giovanni “Gianni”
Agnelli, honoring Gianni’s strong connection with the Turin area. One billion euros were invested in
renewing this plant, anticipating growing global sales. While the latest technology is utilized to help
with fitting parts, skilled technicians man each station, keeping the assembly a handcrafted affair.
Utilizing proven practices developed through the company’s World-Class Manufacturing
(WCM) system, the plant has a strong culture dedicated to producing the highest quality
cars possible. Each car is built to order—and with literally millions of combinations of
mechanical and interior specifications possible, a document goes with each car and is signed
at each station to ensure that the exact car is built to each customer’s personal requirements.
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 tested on a wide mix of different local roads, including mountains, motorways and city
streets. Each one goes through a series of checkpoints before it is checked again by an independent
contractor, who double-checks the vehicle one more time. Finally, senior Maserati inspectors go
over the vehicle with a white-glove treatment, wrapping it in a protective covering before it makes
its way to the importer—then to the dealer and, ultimately, to the customer. It is this kind of care
and pride-in-presentation that is second to none.
