Maserati May Set All-Time Sales Record In 2008
Believe it or not, Maserati is on track to set an all-time sales record for 2008. We know it's hard to believe, what with products that are criminally gorgeous and an explosion of golden parachutes to pay for them. Sales are up 40% year-over-year, with the bulk coming from the Maserati Quattroporte (you know, the one you decided was best not in the JFG), set to sell over 7,000 units this year. That doesn't mean the Maserati Gran Turismo isn't holding up its end, especially now that they're apparently hot with the gay community. More »

Vintage Maserati Quattroporte-amino Fire Truck Is Here To Save Us!
One of five cars built by the Construzione Estintori Anticendio of Bologna, this 1967 Maserati Quattroporte was camino-ized for firetruck duty. Known in their day as the "fastest fire tenders in the world," they were powered by the original 4.2-liter four-cam V8 engine that churned out a healthy 260 HP. Serving duty at Italian race tracks, they were, in typically Italian fashion, an overly stylish solution for the job. So where are they now? More »

Maserati Quattroporte S, Standing Still In Moving Picture
The 2009 Maserati Quattroporte S, with its 425 HP 4.7-liter V8, is as much a supercar as it is a mob boss-wafting luxury sedan. But apparently Maserati thinks the best way to show off their facelifted Q-ship isn't by showing it being wrung out on a twisty backroad or demonstrating how many dead thugs can fit in the trunk. No, Maserati would much rather just show you the car standing still in a room. Do they really think it's that good looking? Ok, so maybe it is. Check out the video for yourself below the jump. More »

PCH, Dante Alighieri Thinks You Deserve It Edition: Lamborghini Jarama Or Maserati Quattroporte?
We love to pit one high-end Italian car against another in this series; we've had Ferrari 250 versus Lamborghini Diablo, Espada versus Espada, Ferrari Mondial versus Maserati Coupe, among others. Up until now, however, a Lamborghini has never vied with a Maserati for a place in your Garage Of Eternal Suffering. We've managed to find a couple of quite affordable classics from those two manufacturers, so it's time to triple the size of your tool collection and buy some asbestos coveralls! More »

2009 Maserati Quattroporte and Quattroporte S Revealed
If you love the Maserati Quattroporte, these photos of the 2009 Maserati Quattroporte S should warm your heart. If you don't love the QP, we're sure with enough therapy you can turn things around. The Quattroporte S model gets a version the 4.7-Liter V8 out of the Gran Turismo S, detuned slightly to produce 425 HP. Obvious exterior changes include a slatted grille, revised front and rear lights and new mirrors. Because this car isn't for the mass affluent, the QP has been given two new shades of leather: Marrone Corniola and Sabbia. Press release below the jump; longing and credit checks sure to follow.

With forthcoming competition in the form of the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati has apparently decided it's time for the Quattroporte to get its game face on. Behind the saggy cladding on this tester is said to be a new face with a grille similar to that found on the Gran Turismo coupe. But this won't be just a shot of botox for vanity's sake. The enhanced mouth will likely feed a new direct-injection engine. More » -

Maserati Bellagio, A Coachbuilt Quattroporte Wagon
Being shown off at the same Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where the BMW M1 Homage was recently unveiled, is this tasty Maserati Quattroporte wagon-ization. Though perhaps with the addition of the hatchback, we should call it a Cinqueporte. But you can call it whatever you want, we just love the way it looks. Designed and constructed by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, the Bellagio has a swooping fastback rear end that's tapered oh so delicately as opposed to a traditionally squared-off wagons. More »

Maserati Cinqueporte Proves That Five Doors Are Better Than Four
We love the unique design of the Maserati Quattroporte but have always felt something was missing. Clearly, what was missing was a fifth door. It may not be Maximum Wagon Day, but it's hard not to appreciate how wonderfully unnecessary this vehicle is. And how do you know that it's wonderfully unnecessary? The order for this one-off vehicle was placed from a mysterious customer in the Middle East. As there will be only one of these, it makes you that much more elite than the 100 commoners that bought the Collezione Cento. Collezione Uno! More »

Detroit Auto Show: Maserati releases even more exclusive Quattroporte, the Collezione Cento

But looking at the interior pictures in detail, it looks like the Quattroporte Collezione Cento might actually be something special. The 100 units built will feature a standard multimedia system which can show pictures in addition to the more obvious movie playing, music listening capabilities. What's really special is the interior, which is decked out in buttoned two-tone leather with wood trim. More » -

Project Car Hell, Fourth Circle: Quattro or Quattroporte?
After listening to the Jack Astro & the Asscrackistanis hit single, we approach the results of yesterday's Mix-n-Match Engine Swap Hell poll with a new understanding.

No, it won because the spirit behind the swap is most in line with our purist-offending sensibilities! Yes, that's it! More »

question of the day
What Would You Stick A Maserati V8 Into?
Back in March, we had a whole bunch of fun asking y'all what you would do with a cast off Enzo mill. And you know our motto, "The Fun Never Stops!" Goofing around on eBay we came across this baby. Yeah kids, you're looking at a 4.9-liter Quad-Weber V8 that's been ripped out of a Series III Maserati Quattroporte. The same car that someone turned into a limo for Richard Dawson in The Running Man. According to the seller, the motor is in tip top shape (i.e. doesn't emit blue/black smoke) and only has 45,000 miles on it. The 4.9-liter jobs were good for 280 horsepower. But who knows, for this motor could have come from an ultra-lux Royale, where it was good for 295 horses. Us? We'd go slightly conservative and put it back into a Quattroporte III, as we love that car. Hopefully the brown and orange example we neglected to purchase back in 2002 for $4,995. You?

Maserati Quattoporte Sport GT S
Maserati's revealed its plans for the Frankfurt show, which include a juiced-up version of the Quattroporte sedan. Like the 2006 Quattroporte GT, the GT S gets some mild tuning and cosmetics upgrades. Unlike the GT, the GT S will come only in Maserati's new six-speed automatic sourced from ZF (Cambiocorsa, we hardly knew thee) The S model is also slightly lower — 10 mm in the front and 25 mm in the rear — and gets a new round of multimetal Brembos for stoppage. Note the triple-black scheme over 20-inch wheels and Pirellis. If we were an Italian Viscount with a taste for O-negative, we'd already have one.

Maserati Recalls Australian Quattroportes
If you're hooning it down a long straight in the outback, suddenly come to a corner at speed and realize that your traction control has quit the team, you might well be driving a Quattroporte! Apparently, a software glitch in the cars disables the system when the battery gets below a certain level. Maser's got a fix for it, and all you have to do is return your pricey Italian sports sedan to your nearest authorized Maserati store. In the meantime, steer clear from full-throttle kangaroo-evasion maneuvers. [News.com.au]

Quattroporte: Out!
The masses have spoken. Looks like one of the very few cars in the Fantasy Garage I've actually ever driven will be joining the Volkswagen Phaeton W12 in Loserville. The message is loud, the message is clear: No 4-doors in the Fantasy Garage. Unless it's a big Italian truck. Do I regret hearing the voice of the people? Not so much this time, but the loss of the Phaeton still smarts. Long term, maybe this action will have a butterfly flapping its winds in Toldeo and wiping out Tokyo effect: the resale value of the Quattroporte will tank, and I'll be able to pick one up on the cheap. That's the spirit...

Maserati Novitec Quattroporte
Some say the Italian-car tweakers at Novitec are masters of overkill. Eyeballing a typical Novitec job, they'll remark, "If Ferrari wanted the F430 to have twin superchargers they'd have have had God install them when he came to visit the Pope." But Novitec is undaunted by such purism. Nonetheless, their latest is a tasteful semi-mod of the Maserati Quattroporte. No breathing apparatus has been bolted on, just an ECU hack that raises the rev-limiter ceiling to 7,800 rpm, which — through the miracle of chaos theory — affects a power boost from 400 hp at 7,000 rpm to 413 hp at 7,100 rpm. Torque is effectively raised to 345 lb-ft at 4,650 rpm, from 332 lb-ft at 4,500 rpm stock. An application of twin adjustable shock absorbers — in stainless steel, natch — comprises the extent of handling tweakage. At the ground, stainless-steel exhaust tips and 20-inch multispoke rims under 245/35 Pirelli P-Zero rubber at the front and 285/30 make up the entirety of added cosmetics. Notwithstanding a lack of performance figures, the net effect is something between country club in Westport and hip-hop club on the far west side. We approve. More »

Jalopnik Fantasy Garage: Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT
Now that we have an everyday supercar nestled in our fantasy garage, I suggest we add a Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT (MSRP: $115,900) to our collection, for those times when we're forced to schlep people who don't want to have their internal organs thrown violently around the calcified walls of their skeletal prison. Yes, we could have added another bulletproof bi-polar express — and I'm not saying an AMG product won't find its way into our virtual automotive sanctuary — but at the risk of quadrupling a negative, we shouldn't fail to consider something a bit more lyrical.

Deal of the Day: Maserati Quattroporte
Want to save $15,000 on a Maserati Quattroporte? Just finance one of the $103,700 Italinate boulevardiers for 60 months at just — hang on to your fruit leather — just 1.9%. That's correct, the company is offering tremendous savings on the sedan, though inventory is tight, likely because, well just because. Of course, you'll have to wait a few months for the new automatic, but if you don't mind paddle shifting in sport mode (or skulking around in autobox mode), it's probably time to make the deal.

Four Square: Maserati to Offer Quattroporte in Automatic
There's a lot to love about Maserati's Quattroporte, the snarly V8, the sumo-lizard body shape, the King Henry the XXX interior. But its DuoSelect robotic gearbox, the only one offered up to now, is neither sporty enough nor supple enough to satisfy either end of its range of upper-crust buyers. But, as the company announced this week at the Bologna show, it will soon come with a ZF automatic option. In addition to providing smoother, faster shifts — according to a press release — the new box nearly evens up the sedan's weight distribution (49 percent front / 51 percent rear vs, 47 percent front / 53 percent rear for the DuoSelect). We'll know more at the Detroit show, where the autobox will make its debut. More »

Spy Photos: Maserati's New Coupes
Maserati's been busy using some of its newfound luxo-bux to develop a new line of coupes that will replace its current range. These days, the company (and new Alfa Romeo mentor) is running road tests on its upcoming models, which are cryptically disguised to resemble a splice on a dormroom lamp cord we once performed, using an entire roll of electrical tape due to chemically induced temporary OCD (don't ask). Spies from Automedia believe they've solved the mystery. Three new cars are reportedly in development: a Quattroporte-based 2+2 to replace the GT coupe, a cloth-top Spyder to compete with the Mercedes SL-Class and a four-seater CC with retractable hardtop. No word on when the first of these will arrive, but we've heard the 2008 model year will see the 2+2, and that's our bet. Any takers?

Alfa-Maserati Partnership to Produce Executive Car
Maserati will build a slightly down-market, mainstream executive car based on the Alfa Romeo 159, according to the UK's Autocar. The middle-market mini Quattroporte would be a first product of the new corporate closeness, within Fiat Group, of Alfa and Maserati, which was recently dislodged from under Ferrari's aegis. It'll get an all-wheel-drive layout and, according to rumor, a modified 4.6-liter Northstar V8, sourced from GM, that will produce around 300hp. Expected for 2008, the A6-sized entry will replace Alfa's 166, and likely cause some Maserati fanatics to cry blasphemy. We'll be singing a few verses of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" in honor of the matchup. More » -

Why you shouldn't buy this car: What the hell does a corporate lion like you need with a car that has to be driven?

Plus, for the average CEO, the Quattroporte is far, far too stylish — just imagine him arriving at the club with a silk Gucci scarf tucked into his Bill Blass Premium golf shirt.

Put another way, it s a lush, thoroughly Italian conveyance in a field of sternly efficient, luxury people movers. Plus, it corners like a Ferrari. More »
