The name translated from Italian literally means "four doors". There have been five generations of the car, each separated by a period of roughly five years. Contents 1 Quattroporte I (1963–1969) 2 Quattroporte II (1974–1978) 3 Quattroporte III/Royale (1979–1990) 4 Quattroporte IV (1994–2001) 5 Quattroporte V (2004 – present) 5.1 Trim levels 5.1.1 Sport GT 5.1.2 Sport GT S 5.1.3 Executive GT 5.2 Transmissions 5.2.1 Duo Select 5.2.2 Automatica 5.3 Sales 5.4 2009 facelift 6 See also 7 References 8 External links [edit] Quattroporte I (1963–1969) First generation Production 1963-1969 Layout FR layout Engine(s) 4.1L 256 hp (191 kW) V8 4.7L, 295 hp (220 kW) V8 Transmission(s) 5-speed manual 3-speed automatic Wheelbase 2,700 mm (110 in) [1] Length 5,000 mm (200 in) Width 1,690 mm (67 in) Height 1,525 mm (60.0 in) Curb weight 1,700 kg (3,700 lb) Related Maserati Sebring Maserati 3500 Maserati Mexico In the early 1960s, Maserati's reputation was at a high. With growing sales, Prince Karim Aga Khan ordered a special Maserati 5000 WP, chassis no. 103,060, designed by Pietro Frua. The following year, Maserati showed the first-generation Quattroporte of 1963, which bore a striking resemblance to the earlier drawing. Also designed by Frua, the 1963 'Tipo 107' Quattroporte joined two other notable grand tourers, the Facel Vega and the Lagonda Rapide, which could comfortably do 200 km/h (124 mph) on the new motorways of Europe. However, the Quattroporte could be said to have been the first car specifically designed for this purpose. It was equipped with a 4.1 L (4136 cc/252 in³) V8 engine, producing 256 hp (SAE) (191 kW) at 5,600 rpm, and either a five-speed ZF manual transmission or a three-speed automatic. Maserati claimed a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). Between 1963 and 1966, 230 examples were made. In 1966, Maserati revised the Tipo 107, adding twin headlights (already on the US model) and, from 1968, a 4.7 L, 295 hp (SAE) (220 kW) engine. Around 500 of the second series were made. Production stopped in 1969. In 1971, Karim Aga Khan ordered another special on the Maserati Indy platform, given the reference code AM 121 also Rory Brown was the chief engineer [edit] Quattroporte II (1974–1978) Second generation Production 1974-1978 Layout MF layout Engine(s) 3.0L 210 hp (160 kW) V6 Related Citroën SM In 1974, at the Turin Show, Maserati presented its Quattroporte II (AM 123)[2] on a Citroën SM chassis, since Citroën had purchased the Italian company. It had an angular Bertone body, penned by Marcello Gandini and fashionable at the time, and was the only Maserati Quattroporte with a hydropneumatic suspension and front wheel drive, also had the swivelling directional headlights à la DS. However, the 1973 oil crisis had intervened and demand for such cars slowed. Furthermore, the modest V6 powerplant from the mid-engined Merak and the Citroën SM (offering less than 210 horsepower) didn't attract many customers. Maserati made 13 Quattroporte IIs. Six of them originally were pre-production cars and the other seven were built to order between 1975 and 1978. [edit] Quattroporte III/Royale (1979–1990) Third generation Also called Royale Production 1979-1990 Layout FR layout Engine(s) 4,136 cc 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp) V8 4,930 cc 280 PS (206 kW; 276 bhp) V8 4,930 cc 300 PS (221 kW; 296 bhp) V8[3] Transmission(s) 3-speed automatic, optional ZF 5-speed manual Related Maserati Kyalami Designer Giorgetto Giugiaro Considered a "business man's Maserati," the Quattroporte III was presented by newly empowered Maserati chief Alejandro de Tomaso and his design staff in 1977. This was a rear wheel drive car, powered by a large V8 engine. It was important to de Tomaso that there be an Italian vehicle to compete with the recently launched Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. The Quattroporte III marked the last of the hand-built Italian cars. All exterior joints and seams were filled to give a seamless appearance. In 1976, Giorgetto Giugiaro presented two ItalDesign show cars on Maserati platforms, called the Medici I and Medici II. The latter in particular featured hallmarks which would make it into the production of the third-generation Quattroporte. At the 1977 Turin Motor Show, Maserati announced the Quattroporte III (Tipo AM 330), which took much from the Medici show cars, based on Maserati's Kyalami coupé, which in turn was based on the De Tomaso Longchamp. Special styling emphasis was placed on linearity, which was also useful to reduce tooling cost. The Quattroporte III went into production in 1979,[4] equipped with a 4,136 cc V8 engine (confusingly referred to as "4200" by Maserati) producing 255 hp (188 kW),[4] later 238 hp (SAE) (177 kW)[citation needed]. Also available was a 4.9 litre V8 (280 hp @ 5800 rpm[4]). One distinguishing characteristic of the vehicle was its particularly lavish interior. The automatics initially used a three-speed Borg–Warner automatic transmission, soon replaced by a Chrysler Torqueflite gearbox. Manual gearboxes were ZF-built 5-speeds. The smaller engine was phased out in 1985. In 1986, the Maserati Royale, an ultra-luxury version of the Quattroporte III, appeared. The engine was upgraded to 295 hp (SAE) (220 kW). In all, 2,155 Quattroporte IIIs were produced,[3] one of them for Italian presidential use. Production ceased in 1990. Turinese coachbuilder Salvatore Diomante also offered a 65 cm longer limousine version, fully equipped with white leater, "abundant burr walnut", mini-bar, video recorder and many other necessities. The price of the Diomante limousine at introduction (1986) was a rather steep 210 million lire.[3] The production figures for the Quattroporte are as follows: There were 1876 Quattroporte III's produced between 1979 and 1988.[citation needed] There were 1821 standard 4portes manufactured between 1979 and 1984.[citation needed] The remaining 55[citation needed] or 53[3] cars were Royales, manufactured between late 1986 and 1990. These were US$80,000 cars that were built to order only. [edit] Quattroporte IV (1994–2001) Fourth generation Production 1994-2001 Layout FR layout Engine(s) 1,996 cc, 287 PS (211 kW) V6 2,790 cc, 284 PS (209 kW) V6 3,217 cc, 335 PS (246 kW) V8 Wheelbase 2,650 mm (104.3 in) Length 4,550 mm (179.1 in) Width 1,810 mm (71.3 in) Curb weight 1,543–1,647 kg (3,402–3,631 lb) Related Maserati Ghibli II Maserati Shamal At the height of Fiat's styling prowess, Maserati was confident to be more adventurous with Quattroporte IV from 1994. It was designed by Marcello Gandini, also known for penning the Lamborghini Countach, Urraco, Espada, Miura, Lancia Stratos, and Bugatti EB110. The new car was smaller, very aerodynamic (0.31 cd), and featured Gandini's trademark angular rear wheel arch. A 2.8 L twin turbo V6 was installed, producing 284 PS (209 kW), reaching a top speed of 255 km/h (158 mph) while the Italians even had a "tax special" 2 litre version producing 287 PS (211 kW) on their price list. Both engines came from the familiar Maserati Biturbo engine catalog. The 2.8 was not even offered in the home market until a year after its introduction.[5] A V8 3.2 L Biturbo was announced in 1995, coming from the Maserati Shamal, developing 335 PS (246 kW) and reaching an approximate 270 km/h (168 mph). After Ferrari took over Maserati in July 1997, it introduced a Quattroporte Evoluzione for 1998. It featured 400 new or improved parts out of a total 800, and also benefitted from improvements to Maserati's manufacturing methods.[5] The Evoluzione saw the famous oval Maserati clock disappear from the interior. Production ended in May of 2001.

Rear of the pre-facelift Quattroporte V In 2004, Maserati started production of the Pininfarina-designed Quattroporte, with the same dry sump 4.2 L engine as the Coupé, Spyder and the new GranTurismo but improved to 400 PS (294 kW). Due to its greater weight than the Coupé and Spyder, the 0-62 mph (0–100 km/h) time for the Quattroporte is 5.6 seconds and the top speed is 167 mph (269 km/h).[6] The Quattroporte was unveiled to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 9, 2003 and made its US première at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance. It is a continuation of the long tradition of Quattroporte luxury sedans in the Maserati line-up. The 47% front / 53% rear weight distribution (with the DuoSelect transmission) allows the large sedan to have very nimble handling. This weight distribution is achieved by setting the engine further back in the chassis behind the front axle to shift the load back towards the cabin, and the adoption of the transaxle layout which sees the gearbox rear-mounted in unit with the differential. The Quattroporte's weight distribution maximizes traction and thrust during acceleration so that the car remains exceptionally stable and well balanced at all times. With the newer automatic transmission, the transmission is adjacent to the engine and weight distribution changes to 49% front / 51% rear. [edit] Trim levels The Maserati Quattroporte is offered in four configurations: the base Quattroporte, the Quattroporte Sport GT, the Quattroporte Sport GTS, and the Quattroporte Executive GT. [edit] Sport GT The Sport GT version of the Quattroporte was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005. It features a reworked transmission, exhaust, 20 inch wheels, suspension modifications, and special interior and exterior accents including a mesh grille. [edit] Sport GT S Sport GTS at Goodwood 2009. The Sport GT S version of the Quattroporte was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007. It features a revised suspension, 20 inch wheels, and larger rear tires for improved handling. The brakes received iron/aluminum rotors for greater fade resistance. Various interior upgrades include alcantara and carbon fiber accents. The 4.7 litre V8 in the Quattroporte Sport GT S has 439 PS (323 kW; 433 hp). [edit] Executive GT The Executive GT version of the Quattroporte was introduced at the North American International Auto Show in January 2006. It is based on a special Neiman-Marcus version, with 19 inch ball-polished wheels and an alcantara suede interior roof lining. Other features include chrome side and front grilles and a wood-trimmed steering wheel. Included standard 4WD GT version is a Maserati comfort pack with ventilated, heating, massaging rear seats, retractable wood rear tables, and curtain shades on the rear windows. [edit] Transmissions [edit] Duo Select The Duo Select transmission was available at the launch of the fifth generation Quattroporte, in 2004. Duo Select was an advancement of the CambioCorsa unit first used in the Maserati Coupe. It is a Ferrari based semi-automatic transmission, located at the rear of the car. [edit] Automatica Maserati Quattroporte Because of reliability problems and rough shifting with the Ferrari based semi-automatic transmission,[citation needed] a full automatic transmission with 6 speeds (by ZF) was presented at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2007 with the first cars delivered right after the launch, marketed as the Maserati Quattroporte Automatica.[7] The Automatica was made available with paddle-shifters on the Sport GT model as standard, but on the base model and the Executive trim levels paddles became an optional extra. With the Automatica, Maserati completely redesigned the under pinning of the car to fit the new conventional automatic transmission and torque converter right behind the engine. They also converted to a wet sump oiling system for cost saving purpose.[8] [edit] Sales 5,700 Quattroportes were made in 2006.[9] [edit] 2009 facelift Maserati did not sell any 2008 models of the Quattroporte in North America. Images of the 2009 facelifted Quattroporte appeared on the Internet on the 30th of January 2008. The car made its official début at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. Also making the debut was the Quattroporte S, featuring the same 4.7L V8 as the Maserati GranTurismo S. Its maximum power is 430 PS (316 kW; 424 hp) and maximum torque is 490 N·m (361 lb·ft). It went on sale at the end of 2008 and is currently available. The Quattroporte Sport GT S is also still available, with 440 PS (324 kW; 434 hp) of power.[10] In 2010, a Quattroporte hearse served to carry the ashes of Polish President Lech Kaczyński in his funeral procession.

So take it as read, this is the Italian manufacturer’s performance saloon. And very good it is too. It looks delicious, sounds operatic and drives superbly, but is best sampled with the full automatic rather than the too-specific ‘DuoSelect’ paddle ’box.
