Sumptuous Speed. The Quattroporte Executive GT introduced to North America at NAIAS in Detroit is the pinnacle of luxury blended with usable performance. Building on the extraordinary and successful Maserati Quattroporte, the Executive GT offers, as standard, a level of luxury almost unknown in such a sport sedan: Alcantara headliner, leather and wood trimmed steering wheel, retractable rear tables of exotic wood to match the interior trim, rear privacy screens, and heated, ventilated, massaging comfort pack seats for front and rear with full power adjustment. A full array of Quattroporte interior options is also available.

From the exterior, the sophistication of the Quattroporte's sporting appearance has been enhanced with subtle brightwork including chrome mesh front and side grills and Maserati's ball-polished 19" wheels. The full attention of Modenese craftsmen assures the Quattroporte's excellent fit and finish throughout. And, of course, the Executive GT drives like a Quattroporte. The sublime and powerful 4.2l V8 is unchanged, along with the DuoSelect paddle-shift transmission that engages drivers like no other. Skyhook suspension provides the dynamic handling and sharp response for which Maseratis are known, complementing the new model's cosmopolitan ambience with the touch of raw performance promised by every car bearing the Trident.
