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…

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…

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…

For Ray Wert, too much is never enough.

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.…

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 …

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.…

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…

Detroit Auto Show: What's that? Corinthian Leather? Has Chrysler brought back the Maserati TC? Or something else? The touchscreen boss, the touchscreen!

We previewed Maserati's limited-edition Collezione Cento yesterday, but here it is in person. We now know that the 100 units all feature 10-inch touch screen monitors in the back of each front seat. Rear seat passengers can use them in conjunction with the keyboard housed in the center armrest to browse the Internet…

At first glance, we were tempted to write this limited edition off as an attempt to flog unwanted cars. 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…

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. The Ferarri-powered Porsche 912 didn't win because the swap process itself might be slightly less hellish than, say, the Series 60 Morris. No, it won…

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 …

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…

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…

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? …

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…

The always fun at parties Eve was arrested for suspicion of a DUI after she crashed her gold Maserati on Hollywood Boulevard early this morning. According to the always on the scene TMZ, "she hit the center divider, totaling the front of her car." Right after the accident, cops arrived to drop handcuffs onto her wrists…
