Unveiling of the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte

On Tuesday, April 2nd the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte made its Big Apple debut at the only current stand alone Maserati dealership in North America, Maserati of Manhattan. The Tribeca location hosted a celebration for their loyal clients to have a first glance at the newest model and a spread of the newest Maserati’s including the GranTurismo Convertible Range and theGranTurismo Sport Automatic.

Guests had the opportunity to get a hands-on experience as they were able to sit in the car and test out some of the features and gadgets, such as the backseat fold down table. Keeping true with Maserati’s Italian heritage, guests sipped on Peroni Italian Beer and an assortment of cheeses and appetizers. For the non-beer drinker there was Stoli’s new premium vodka called, “Elit”.

The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte has a newly-developed direct-injection engine family boasts a 523 hp 3.8-litre V8 and a 404 hp 3.0-litre V6, both of which are twin-turbocharged, designed by Maserati Powertrain and assembled by Ferrari at their plant in Maranello. All versions come equipped with the latest eight-speed automatic transmission developed with ZF. The V8 is the fastest, most powerful and efficient four-door Maserati has ever built, reaching 60mph in 4.6 seconds and achieving a top speed of 191 mph.

The V6 twin turbo Q4 All-Wheel Drive variant is capable of a top speed of 177mph. The “Q4” system is capable of redistributing the torque instantly from full rear wheel drive to balanced near 50/50 distribution between front and rear wheels when more traction is needed.

Interior luxury leaps forward technically, too, with features like a touch control screen, adjustable pedals, WLAN-based WiFi and optional 15-speaker, 1280 Watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system.

In 1963, Maserati established the benchmark for the luxury sports sedan. The new Quattroporte continues to elevate the standard of high quality engineering, supercar performance all within the space, luxury and daily driving.
