Here are first pix of the all-new Maserati Quattroporte, set to be launched in 2013. It’s the first of three models in a growth plan that’s targeted to take Maserati’s annual sales up to 50,000 a year by 2015. The other two will be an E-Class fighter called the Ghibli, and the Levante SUV.
One glance and you won’t be faulted for thinking this is the previous generation. The evolutionary design maintains lots of design cues from the model it replaces like the front grille, the three side vents and the triangular C pillar. What’s new is a strong wavy belt line that runs through the side of the car, rising muscularly over the rear wheel arch. The new model will of course be longer, with improvements in luggage space and rear passenger cabin space.
No mention of the engine under the hood but from the number plate of the car on these studio shots we’re guessing a Ferrari V8 with 530 horsepower, which is higher than the outgoing model’s top of the line 430 PS 4.7 litre Ferrari V8. But we don’t expect that to be the lone engine – taking cues from the Porsche Panamera, we’re guessing there could be a possibility of a smaller V6 or perhaps even a diesel.
Look after the jump for a small gallery and videos of the new model.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
speechless….
Is it German? Nop. It’s an Italian!
Bello bello!!
it doesnt look as good as the last one. and the front is just bad.
It looks so much better than the previous generation Quattroporte. Fantastic work Maserati, sure to win more customers over Porsche and others.
How much huh? i think proton saga looks better la…hahahahahaha…only minister nazri n his son can afford this bebey
After like what? 8-9 years, this is the best they could ever come out with? Fiat Group better invest in Bufori.
bufori over maserati? you better stick with your painting job..
Panamera..watch your back.
The rear end looks like the latest Kia K7/K9… seriously…still trying to define itself. Nice pedigree to work with its Italian DNA. Give it time I am sure it will evolve beautifully!
Lights are a little quirky, but all in all not bad!
If it’s black in color, it will be a Mafia’s car. The looks is very striking as always.
I’ll take a red one with gunmetal wheels..
Looks like Infiniti cars :)
looks good… the current Quattroporte is already a sexy beast, this turns out even better!
wow…now the front looks like granturismo…nice
i have fallen in love all over again…
Front looks like Peugeot 508
Looks more like an evolution than a revolution.
I just keep on dreaming this superlicious sexy beast… Not afford to buy.
Looks like new Forte
im going to work harder now,hope i can buy this sexy beast in 5 years,err maybe 7 years,or maybe 10 years time.just work harder i guess.
Excellent execution to say the least. The new Quattroporte is certainly miles ahead better, especially on the interior design, of which in last version was aging very fast.The exterior is as sexy as ever.To better challenge the Germans, Maserati should equipped this car with more than just one engine (the V6 is a good choice).
hopefully that no one would try to steal it from its showroom..lol
awesome car. one of my dad fren has the current Quattroporte, but this is even sexier.. owh yeah.
You actually have to sell your kidneys and organs to own this beast! Work Hard won’t even cut it.
