The latest-generation Maserati flagship has two new trim options: the GranLusso and GranSport.
Datuk SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin, group executive chairman of the Naza World Group, said “The winning combination of elegance, power, versatility and technology that has made the Maserati flagship so beloved is accentuated in the exceptionally stylish new Quattroporte, earning the trident praise the world over.”
An electrically adjustable Air Shutter has been fitted in the front grille between the air vents and the engine’s radiator.
The Air Shutter provides optimal control of the engine’s coolant temperature and, together with the optimisation of the new front and rear bumpers, air conveyor and flat bottom, reduces drag by 10 per cent.
The redesigned central dashboard now accommodates a high-resolution 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen with multi touch technology.
The new infotainment system is compatible with both the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring functions.
An additional new Surround View Camera is available as an option in combination with the Driver Assistance package.
All Quattroporte cars are now equipped with an Air Quality Sensor, which measures external pollution levels and prevents polluted air from entering the cabin.
Engine-wise, the Quattroporte is based on V6 architecture and available in certain markets with 350hp which is 20hp more than in the previous version, capable of delivering torque of 500Nm, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and a faster top speed of 270km/h.
The Quattroporte is also available as the Quattroporte S, with the 410hp 3.0-litre Ferrari-produced V6 Twin-Turbo, with rear wheel drive.
This version offers 550 Nm of torque and a 286 km/h top speed, accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 5.1 seconds.
The Quattroporte GTS, powered by the immense 530hp 3.8-litre Ferrari-produced V8 Twin-Turbo with rear wheel drive, is capable of a peak torque of 710Nm with a top speed of 310 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.
All versions of the Quattroporte are fitted with state-of-the-art ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and electronically-controlled Skyhook shock absorbers; with an ideal 50:50 weight distribution and extensive use of aluminium.
The Quattroporte is available at starting price of RM778,800.
