Commemorating 56 Awards

The base Sport GT S is a model that has seen its maximum output increased from 430 ps to 440 ps by tuning the exhaust system and other components of the "Quattroporte S"'s 4.7-liter V8 engine.

Furthermore, to enable quicker gear shifts, the program for the 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters has been refined, and the suspension is reinforced with dedicated components, making it a saloon that truly delivers the driving experience of a sports car.

The "Awards Edition" announced this time is a special specification model created to commemorate the 56 awards the current Quattroporte has received in 14 countries worldwide during the six years since its debut.

Interior by Poltrona Frau

The exterior is painted in a special color, a slightly golden pearl metallic grey, with chrome accents around the grille. The dark grey 20-inch "Multitritone" alloy wheels feature a satin finish, and peeking through their spokes are the "Polished Calipers," the world's first mirror-finished brake calipers developed in collaboration with Brembo. This truly creates a commanding presence befitting a special edition Maserati Quattroporte.

The interior, crafted by the Italian luxury brand "Poltrona Frau," extensively uses carefully selected leather and Alcantara, creating a luxurious and exclusive space.

This Awards Edition has already been officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, with its European launch scheduled for the latter half of this year.


BRAND HISTORY
While there are several places in the world known as "sacred grounds for sports cars," few are as fitting as the province of Modena in Italy. This is because both Ferrari and Maserati, under the Fiat umbrella, are located within Modena province. If Maranello is for Ferrari, then Maserati is sent out into the world from Modena, the provincial capital.

The Trident, the emblem of a three-pronged spear, is inspired by the statue of Neptune, a symbol of Bologna, and signifies that Maserati's history began in Bologna. The foundation was laid by the Maserati brothers, born between 1881 and 1898 in this region. Most of them would become involved in automobiles, with Alfieri Maserati (the third son, also named Alfieri, died shortly after birth) playing a central role. His career began as a racing driver, but after many twists and turns, he established Officine Alfieri Maserati in 1926. Alfieri himself took the wheel of the "Tipo26" bearing the Trident, participating in the Targa Florio and achieving a class victory in its debut race.

In 1929, the "V4" set a world speed record of 246.029 km/h, and the Maserati name became widely known. Subsequently, Maserati etched its name into the history of Grand Prix racing through the exploits of renowned drivers like Tazio Nuvolari. However, in 1937, ownership changed to Adolfo Orsi, and the following year, 1938, the company moved its headquarters to the current location in Modena. From this point until 1957, the company's motorsport activities entered a golden age. The pinnacle of this era was the F1 series title won by the great driver Juan Manuel Fangio in the "250F" in 1957. Yet, in the same year, Maserati concluded its works racing activities, and through models like the "3500GT" in 1958, the "Ghibli" in 1966, and the "Bora" in 1971, it solidified its position as a sports car manufacturer.

Carrying on the tradition of sports car manufacturing today are the two-door coupe "GranTurismo" and the four-door saloon "Quattroporte." They convey to us the allure of Italian sports cars, distinct from Ferrari's.
