Maserati Quattroporte in Miami, Florida
With an exotic exterior design, sumptuous four-passenger cabin, and sporty yet comfortable performance dynamics, the 2008 Maserati Quattroporte is a true Italian enthusiast's luxury car. Available in base, Executive GT, and Sport GT S trim levels, the 2008 Quattroporte is powered by a Ferrari-based 4.2-liter V8 engine that puts out 400 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This powerful engine allows for a top speed of 165 mph, according to Maserati, and for 0 to 62 mph in a blazing 5.6 seconds when paired with the DuoSelect six-speed servo-actuated automated manual transmission or a blistering 5.2 seconds when paired with the standard hydraulic six-speed ZF automatic transmission, one of the world's finest automatic transmissions available. Excellent handling, superb balance, and a firm ride come courtesy of the standard Skyhook suspension system on the base Quattroporte. This system allows the driver to change with road conditions and driving style by automatically adjusting the firmness of the shock absorbers. The Sport GT S, meanwhile, comes with a lower, stiffer suspension system with conventional, stiffer-rate dampers and springs retuned for sporting drivers. This system is paired up with Brembo disc brakes for added stopping power. Yet all this performance does not put a damper on fuel economy; the Quattroporte achieves 12 city/18 highway, considered reasonable numbers for a performance sedan of this caliber.
On the outside, every Quattroporte features standard heated side mirrors, rain sensing wipers, and a power tilt/sliding sunroof. The Sport GT S goes for a sportier look with subtle features like a black chrome mesh grille, new twin exhaust pipes, black-color window frames, and body color door handles. Inside the 2008 Quattroporte, drivers can pick and choose from acres of color and material choices to suit their preferences. The cabin features beautiful Pininfarina styling and hand-crafted upholstery made of opulent Italian leather. Comfort and convenience features abound, ranging from heated front seats, trip computer, steering wheel controls, and center console CD/DVD player to two touch screens embedded into the back headrests and a Maserati Multimedia Entertainment system that includes an iPod dock, USB port, and an auxiliary jack. In the back, 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space gives you enough space to pack a bag or two and go on a weekend trip to some exotic destination. Standard safety features on every Maserati include front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, side curtain airbags for the front and backseats, a passenger airbag shut off switch, four-wheel disc brakes, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and Traction Control.
Providing its driver with sensuous good looks, lavish comfort, sporty performance, and admiring glances even from other luxury vehicle drivers, the 2008 Maserati Quattroporte commands respect and attention wherever it goes.
