The company relocated from Bologna to the now historic headquarters on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena. Ernesto had already designed the 4CL and 8CL engines, which powered the cars of the same name in the late 1930s. The Maserati brothers stayed on in Modena as chief engineers until 1948. The company dominated the racing scene again, despite strong competition from Mercedes. On 30 May 1939 it scored an important victory in the Indianapolis 500 with Wilbur Shaw at the wheel of the 8CTF, a feat it repeated the following year. During the Second World War, Maserati adapted its production accordingly, turning out machine tools, electrical components, spark plugs and electric vehicles, but returned to its original activities after the war, with a new GT car, the A6 1500. The A6G CS successfully debuted on the Modena circuit with Alberto Ascari at the wheel; and in those years its racing rivals were the Alfettas, Ferraris and Talbots. After several wins, life became less easy for Maserati in the 1950s as Alfa Romeo and Ferrari were extremely competitive. In 1953 Gioacchino Colombo was appointed Chief Engineer and modified the A6GCM. The team was also strengthened by the arrival of drivers of the calibre of Fangio, Gonzalez, Marimon, Bonetto and de Graffenried and brought home some important victories in the 1953 season; in fact, Fangio won that year's Italian Grand Prix ahead of Ascari’s and Farina’s Ferraris in race that was only decided after the final corner. Colombo also laid the foundation for the Maserati 250F, which was later developed by Alfieri. 1954 saw the debut of the 250F, with which Fangio won the Argentine Grand Prix on its debut. In 1955 and 1956, Maserati won other important victories; in 1957 Fangio returned to Maserati and won the World Title for the fifth time – the first time for Maserati - with the 250F. Although the company announced its official retirement from racing that very year, it never withdrew from the scene completely because Maserati continued to build racing cars like the Birdcage and other prototypes for private teams, and to supply engines for the Formula 1 cars of other constructors, such as Cooper, for which it developed a 12-cylinder, three-valve engine with triple ignition in 1965. Production of the 3500 GT, which was launched in 1958, began at the start of an important new era for Maserati and consequently the plant had to be expanded. Production cars and sales became the main goals and Maserati’s racing activities became of secondary importance. The Sebring was presented in 1962 and the Quattroporte in 1963, the first Maserati 4-door saloon with a 90° V8 engine and a displacement of 4,136 cc.GranTurismoThe GranTurismo scores top marks when it comes to style, technology and craftsmanship. » GranTurismo » GranTurismo S Maserati 2010VAT No. 08245890010Site MapLegal notesCompany InfoContact usWork with usFAQ || Maserati Logo Maserati Models GranCabrio GranTurismo GranTurismo S GranTurismo S Automatic GranTurismo MC Stradale QuattroporteIntroductionExteriorsInteriorsTechnologyPersonalisationTechnical dataServicesDownload Quattroporte S Quattroporte Sport GT S MC Sport Line Genuine Accessories Pre-Owned Heritage Quality Safety Environment Concept cars End of life vehicles Maserati Service Maserati Passion Maserati Corse Login International International Asia Pacific Asia Pacific Australia Australia Austria Bahrain Bahrain Belgium Brazil Brazil Bulgaria Bulgaria Canada Canada China China Czech Republic Czech Republic Denmark Denmark France France Germany Germany Greece Greece Hong Kong Hong Kong Hungary Hungary Italy Italy Japan Japan Kuwait Kuwait Latvia Latvia Luxembourg Luxembourg Malaysia Malaysia Mexico Mexico Netherlands New Zealand New Zealand Philippines Philippines Portugal Portugal Qatar Qatar Romania Romania Russia Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia Slovenia Slovenia South Africa South Africa South Korea South Korea Spain Spain Switzerland Taiwan Taiwan Turkey Turkey United Kingdom United Kingdom Ukraine Ukraine United Arab Emirates USA USA Select your languageDeutschFrançaisItaliano Media CenterDealersCar ConfiguratorStoreRegisterCONFIGURE ITE-BROCHURE ShareMaserati > Maserati Models > Quattroporte > Interiors The interior of the Maserati QuattroporteThe Maserati Quattroporte’s cabin offers superb comfort The interior of the new Maserati Quattroporte has raised the bar when it comes to comfort. This improvement is down to the radical changes made to the driving position, the seat set up, the multi-functional steering wheel with its sports grip, the commands now situated on the centre console, the revised instruments and, near the chic clock, the addition of a small storage compartment on the centre tunnel. The Quattroporte has electronically adjustable seats that can be set to fourteen different positions (including the seat back in four different ways). The driver’s seat has three memory settings and an easy entry/exit system (that pushes the seat back and lifts the steering column). Owners can also opt for the front seat comfort pack that provides heating, ventilation and massage functions. Passengers in the back can relax and enjoy the ride in a well-insulated cabin, free of any annoying vibrations. The Quattroporte offers an array of rear seat positions thanks a multitude of functions including their independent, electronic movement. The separate lengthways shift (10cm) and reclining movement means that passengers will have no trouble finding a comfortable position. The rear seats can also be fitted with heating, ventilation and massage capability, as an option. The spacious, 450 litre boot has an even shape and is especially roomy widthways (it can fit in three or four golf bags, depending on their size). Every inch of room in the boot can be exploited thanks to the luggage set specifically designed for the Quattroporte and available as an option. Boot space has been found to accommodate the puncture repair kit that includes a pump. A 17” spare wheel can also be housed under the boot floor, on request. There is a range of other standard equipment that comes with the new Quattroporte, including a cooler compartment hidden inside the front armrest, two glass holders that tuck away into the rear armrest and an electronic blind for the rear window. Interior: switchgear The main commands inside the Quattroporte can be accessed easily and quickly. Switchgear linked to the driving dynamics (Park Off, Low Grip, Sport, MSP deactivation) is set close to the driver. To one side, on the right of the centre display, are the commands to lock/unlock the doors and the window blinds. Lower down on the console is a group of commands for the dual-zone automatic climate control that has its own display. Simplicity and speed of use are the concepts behind the interior’s design. Each switch does only one thing and the graphics make using them intuitive and immediately understandable. The electronic handbrake is located on the centre tunnel. It is operated by the simple press of the button (that is slightly recessed to avoid turning it on accidentally). To deactivate the handbrake you need to press the button again or depress the accelerator pedal. The Maserati Quattroporte is also fitted with the 'Park' capability that turns on the electronic handbrake every time the engine is switched off. This function can be deactivated via the Park Off switch when you need to move the car with the engine off. To complete things, twin, chrome edged glass holders and an ashtray and cigar lighter can be found on the centre tunnel. Interior: prestigious woods As Maserati tradition dictates, attention to detail and a refined interior lie at the heart of the new Maserati Quattroporte design. The flawless styling is a celebration of Italian craftsmanship. Wood, that most classic of materials, covers vast areas of the interior, giving the cabin a welcoming warmth. Three new prestigious woods make their debut in the new range: Starwood, Vavona and Polished Wenge. These woods prove once more the lengths Maserati goes to in sourcing new materials. For those who prefer a sleeker look, high gloss Black Piano and Blu Laque finishes are available. Starwood stands out for its elegance and modernity. The vertical grain on the centre console and horizontal grain on the door panels, combined with a neutral grey-green hue, combines perfectly with cooler colours if the client wishes to create a clean and modern interior. Starwood also works with warmer colours to generate a contrast that brings out the vivid shades. Vavona has warm, amber tones. The wood is recognisable for the rounded and florid form of its grain. It is a wood that works particularly well with all the warmer leather colours in the range. Polished Wenge, with its stretched grain, is a tropical wood. It is dark and dense and brings warmth to any environment with its brown toned grain. Blu Laque is the new alternative to Black Piano and has been introduced to combine with the Blu Navy leather. This creates and new and smart contrast to the lighter colours in the range. Specially sourced, all the woods undergo treatment that is a combination of traditional working methods and the most advanced precision technology. Owners can even personalise their choice of prestigious woods with inlays. The interior: Poltrona Frau® leather The Poltrona Frau® leather that adorns the interior of the Maserati Quattroporte is the result of a special selection process aimed at guaranteeing the finest quality in a material that is pleasing to the touch. The tanning treatment it undergoes makes the leather supple, hardwearing and practical and adds to the overall aesthetics. Poltrona Frau® represents workmanship of times gone by. It combines this time-honoured expertise with more modern techniques. This process makes the leather extremely soft and comforting in winter but cool in summer. Poltrona Frau® leather also ages well, another reason it is rated so highly. The most discerning Maserati owners can opt for the Luxury Pack in natural Poltrona Frau® leather, the last word in elegance and exclusivity. The leather is extraordinarily supple, something that will give passengers a sensation of refined extravagance. The Poltrona Frau® logo and the double stitched seats embellish the look. Two new colours make their debut on the new Quattroporte: the natural and subtle Sabbia and Marrone Corniola, a modern shade of brown with a vivid and sporty tone. Comfort and life on board The navigation and entertainment systems on the new Maserati Quattroporte have been completely revised. It is made up of the new Maserati Multimedia System and the Bose® Multi Media System. Created by Marelli, the Multimedia System includes, as standard, an on-board computer, satellite navigation system (a digital map, where available), a CD-ROM and mp3 player, a hard disk driver, jukebox for mp3 files, a 30GB hard disk, voice control, Bluetooth® Wireless Technology, and a USB/AUX-in that doubles up as a USB reader. Sound is delivered courtesy of the Bose® Surround Sound System. The speakers reward occupants with breathtaking acoustic performance that was designed specifically for the new Quattroporte. A high resolution, 7" colour TFT screen sits in the centre of the dashboard and displays the CD functions, the satellite navigation (where possible a digital map), the RDS tuner, on board computer (that shows information about the journey and on the car's set up), a jukebox, Bluetooth® and the USB reader. Controlling the system is easy and instinctive thanks to the commands located in the middle of the dashboard. You can also access the most frequently used functions in total safety via the steering wheel mounted buttons. Safety is also the theme behind the voice controls that work the audio system, the satellite navigation and the telephone. The on board computer allows you to view information provided by the Trip Computer. This details average fuel consumption, the trip time, distance covered, average speed, the speed limit and the kilometres/days until the next service is due. One of the available options is the rear seat entertainment system made up of a centrally mounted rear screen and a DVD player. There is an AUX input jack for video games or external plug-ins (for example, a video camera), with sound transmitted via headphones or through the main speaker system. The colour display panel that faces the driver feeds back useful information about the journey. This includes the settings of numerous electronic functions fitted to the car (MDS transmission, Skyhook, when the MSP kicks in or when the road surface is icy, for instance). The display also reports information from the satellite navigation system (when it is on), to help the driver with easy to read moving images. Dual-zone Automatic Climate Control The new Maserati Quattroporte comes with dual-zone automatic climate control as standard, further improving the on board environment. A series of sensors measure the quality of the air coming into the car and, for example, prevent unclean air or unpleasant odours from entering the cabin by automatically activating the recycle function. A second sensor stops the glass from misting by reducing the level of humidity in the air whenever it detects that the windows are at dew point. Rear seat passengers also benefit from an excellent climate control system featuring six inlet ducts (two on the centre console, two on the centre pillars and two at foot level. The system can be enhanced with the addition, as an option, of a rear command panel. This allows rear passengers to control the climate, the intensity of the ventilation and the airflow split between the ducts. Other on-board features Among the other electronic equipment that comes as standard on the Maserati Quattroporte are the light sensors. These automatically measure the strength of ambient light and turn the headlights on and off accordingly. There are also rain sensors that activate the windscreen wipers and regulate their frequency, cruise control that sets the cruising speed automatically without the driver having to keep his foot on the pedal, an alarm (with perimeter and volumetric sensing and an anti-lift device), and the automatic locking of the doors when the ignition is switched on. Tyre pressure sensors, electro-chromic wing and internal mirrors and front parking sensors are also available as options.

Waves have clearly taken steps in that direction with the Maserati suite of plug-ins, developed in conjunction with award-winning mixer Tony Maserati. Maserati has worked with artists as diverse as Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Macy Gray, Sting and David Bowie, and in March 2007’s Inside Track feature (www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar07/articles/maserati.htm), he talked to SOS about his work on John Legend’s ‘Save Room’. Tony Maserati has his own favourite signal-processing chains for specific applications, and what Waves have done is recreate those chains in software, bringing out only those controls that Tony would normally adjust during a session and leaving the rest hidden. The result is that with just a handful of knobs and buttons, you can arrive at a highly produced guitar, bass, voice or drum sound very quickly. There’s no clue as to what original hardware components are emulated in any of the plug-ins or processing modes, but then that doesn’t really matter: this suite of plug-ins should be judged on its results. While stripping the controls down to a bare minimum may rob the more advanced user of some flexibility, the idea is that the sense of instant gratification you get as soon as you switch them into the signal path should more than make up for this. Running in native mode on both Macs and PCs, the Maserati Collection supports the native VST, AU, RTAS and Audio Suite plug-in formats — there are no TDM versions. Protection is via iLok. The load and save format is the same as with other Waves plug-ins, as is the ability to create and compare A and B versions, but there are no factory presets as such. Mono-in, stereo-out and stereo-in, stereo-out versions of each plug-in are available.GTi Guitar Toner First up is the GTi Guitar Toner, which is a dedicated tool for polishing electric guitar sounds. The source guitar sounds can range from clean to overdriven, and the plug-in can also be used to add colour and movement to electric pianos. The main thing to understand about this plug-in is that it doesn’t do guitar amp modelling or overdrive — it’s there to allow you to polish the sound once you’ve recorded it, and this it does very well. GTi offers five modes, named Clean, Clean Chorus, Heavy, Thick Rhythm and Soft Flange. As with the other plug-ins in the collection, some of the controls change as you switch modes, but the Sensitivity control is ever-present. This is accompanied by a three-colour signal light to help you optimise the input level (necessary for any dynamic effects to work correctly), a round retro meter that can monitor either the input or output level, and an output level control. If you can get the lamp showing amber but not red during louder sections you’re pretty much set to go, though you can occasionally get desirable effects by running the plug-in slightly hot or slightly cold.All modes have Presence controls and all except Thick Rhythm have compression adjustment in the form of the Tame knob. In Thick Rhythm mode this is greyed out, while the FX section grows a second Presence control. The same control paradigm extends right through this range of plug-ins; some controls are greyed out when not used in a particular mode, while some of the others change function. The individual effects within GTi are controlled via the smaller knobs at the bottom of the screen, which adapt to the types of effect being added. For example, in Thick Rhythm mode you get to control the delay time, stereo width, vibrato and chorus on or off. There’s always an FX level control to adjust the signal sent to the effects section. In this mode, even with all the effects turned to minimum, there’s a very subtle tremolo effect when the FX knob is turned clockwise, while the Vibrato knob, when turned up, gives a shimmering, almost rotary-speaker-style modulation. Clean mode adds no obvious effects but allows a useful degree of tonal change, as well as applying some dynamic processing, and, like all the mode settings, seems to include a low-level expander or gate to keep pauses clean. All the other settings are quite obviously effected, but in a way that sounds good right out of the box. There’s scope for adjustment, of course, but the overall effect is very slick-sounding. Thick Rhythm, for instance, includes a very plausible doubling effect when you crank up the delay time (which is limited to a short slap-back). It may not suit all guitar sounds or all songs, but in most instances it will help you make a good guitar sound even better, and if you want to go all-out on the chorus or vibrato effects, you can. With all of these plug-ins, whenever you switch to a different mode you get the default factory setting, after which you can make your own adjustments.VX1 Vocal Enhancer Everybody wants to create the perfect ‘produced’ vocal sound, but that involves having mastery over compression, EQ and reverb. The VX1 Vocal Enhancer makes all of this manageable using just a few intuitive controls, and with three ‘contour’ modes to suite different song styles. Contour 1 creates the impression of a small, intimate space, while Contour 2 conjures up a larger chamber that works well with slow ballads. Contour 3 is designed for faster tempos where a ballad setting might be too messy, and combines a very small room with pre-delay. Compression is built in and in modes 1 and 2, once the input level is optimised, there’s nothing else to adjust other than the compression amount knob.The EQ section comprises simply Bass and Treble optimised for vocals, while FX controls the amount of signal sent to the effect section. DLY adjusts the delay time, DLY Mix sets how much delay is added and Decay sets the reverb length. The reverb tonality can be tweaked using the VRB knob. In Contour 3 mode you also get to adjust the amount of ‘air’ or high boost in the sound, usually in the 10 to 12 kHz region, at the expense of adjustable compression. Again, this plug-in saves a lot of work combining other plug-ins, and makes vocals sound more even and more present in the mix. The delay is pretty conventional, while the reverb is quite rich in reflections, which really reinforce the vocal while not muddying the mix. The resulting sound is pretty contemporary, but there’s enough scope to get a more obvious reverb if it suits the song. I like the way this plug-in brightens and focuses vocals without making them seem hard or edgy, and it really pushes them to the front of a mix. Definitely one of my favourites!DRM Drum Slammer Rather than offering a single treatment for a drum mix, the DRM Drum Slammer has seven switchable modes that optimise its operation for the kick drum, snare top, snare bottom, hi-hats, toms, overhead and room mics. Part of its aim is to help percussive transients cut through mixes and it can be used with live drums or any sampled drum instrument that allows you to separate the individual kit pieces. The frequency bands have been designated Thump (Low), Snap (Mid) and Treble, and I suspect there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than simple EQ, including some carefully tailored dynamic processing.The same controls are available for each mode, but I suspect that the EQ filter shapes are fine-tuned for each application, which makes adjustment pretty foolproof. There’s no adjustment of compression, though some dynamic processing is clearly happening, as the ring of the decaying drum hits lasts noticeably longer than when the plug-in is bypassed. All the EQ controls work well, though Snap is sometimes quite subtle, but in the main the plug-in makes drum sounds brighter and more present. Indeed, you have to be careful not to overdo things on well-sampled kits, or you can push the sound too far forward in the mix. Obviously, you get the best results by processing separate drum tracks or instruments with multiple outputs; you can process a stereo kit mix using the Overhead or room setting, though the results are far less controllable.HMX Harmonics Generator As with the other plug-ins in this suite, the Tony Maserati HMX Harmonics Generator is far more than just a harmonic enhancer. In Modal mode it widens the apparent stereo image and adds a subtle chorus effect that works well on pianos or even vocals, not unlike a Roland Dimension D. Bounce mode adds a touch of reverb and delay, so this is a good general-purpose plug-in for making sources sound more lush and interesting. Size sets the perceived spaciousness, Amount controls the amount of added reverb, and Spread adjusts the stereo spreading effect. The effects can also be tempo-sync’ed in Bounce mode. In fact, the harmonic enhancement effect seems quite subtle compared to the other treatments, adding a hint of air to the upper registers of most sounds. In combination with the effects, it can add interest and definition to pianos, synth pads and so on, and it also works with voice and guitar. A good plug-in to try when you feel a sound is lacking something but you’re not quite sure what!B72 Bass Phattener The B72 plug-in has two modes of operation, one optimised for bass guitar and the other for synth bass, and it is worth trying both settings on any bass source, as you occasionally get very workable results by picking the ‘wrong’ mode. The Type switch toggles between the two bass types, and once the sensitivity is optimised, you get a very intuitive set of Bass and Treble tone controls that work in conjunction with a preset style of compression. Switching to Synth mode gives you the same controls plus FX input and output level controls, along with a dedicated tone control that works on the ‘buzzy’ part of the synth’s spectrum.Using this plug-in, it is easy to make a DI’d bass sit well in a mix. The sound becomes fuller and less gritty at the top end, while the behind-the-scenes compression evens up the sound and adds further weight to the notes. In Synth mode the FX tone control seems to work as some kind of sweep equaliser, but I could also detect a very subtle chorus or doubling effect that created the effect of gentle pulse-width modulation. Whatever is going on, it adds character to the upper harmonics of a synth bass sound, while the EQ and other ‘invisible’ processing makes the bass end seem even fatter: very straightforward and seriously effective.ACG Acoustic Guitar Designer Acoustic guitars can be difficult to get sounding right in a mix, so the ACG Acoustic Guitar Designer provides a straightforward toolkit comprising tonal control, ambience effects and some under-the-hood compression. Once again, there are two settings: ACG 1 enables the user to maximise level and tweak the high and low tonal contours, while ACG 2 is similar but more compressed. The EQ section is split into Hi, Mid and Punch bands, with switched rather than continuously variable settings. An Excite function appears to add high-frequency harmonics to the effect chain, Pre-delay does as expected, and there’s also some kind of built-in room ambience that sits the guitar nicely in a track without making it sound messy.ACG doesn’t hide all of the piezo ‘quack’ from less-than-perfect under-saddle pickups, but it does a pretty good job, while at the same time adding a lovely ambience and scope for basic tonal tweaking; the tone controls seem ideally placed to address the body tone and string zing of the instrument. Using the exciter can add brightness to an otherwise dullish instrument, and the compression seems to be set up just right for the acoustic guitar in the two modes. The driest of acoustic guitar recordings comes to life with this plug-in, and a few basic adjustments soon get it sitting correctly in the mix. Fast But Not FuriousI love the idea behind these plug-ins, and because the user still has a great deal of adjustment available I don’t really consider them to be dumbing down music production: rather, they’re a means of giving you the taste of a professional producer’s signature style. Each does a specific job, and extremely well. Vocal Processor is my favourite, as it makes achieving a really professional vocal sound relatively easy, and of course you can use other plug-ins in combination with it if you need something more specialised. Perhaps more tweaky users would have enjoyed an ‘under the hood’ mode with more controls that could be opened only when needed, but on balance I think the format that’s been adopted will be welcomed by most recording musicians, and it’s only a matter of time before competing plug-in designers latch onto the idea. You do need a fairly brisk computer to use these plug-ins, as each hides multiple processing blocks behind its simple exterior and each has its own demands on processing power, but then most modern DAWs have a freeze function to save on CPU power if you need it. The bottom line is that I really like the results from these Waves Maserati plug-ins and I think they’ll become firm favourites in my own studio. 0Published in SOS April 2009 Home | Search | News | Current Issue | Digital Editions | Articles | Forum | Subscribe | Shop | Readers Ads Advertise | Information | Links | Privacy Policy | Support Sunday 12th December 2010 Login or Register here Sub PIN or Email Password Remember me Stay logged in Lost password?
