The new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S made its worldwide debut at the 2009 North American International Motor Show in Detroit, setting yet another milestone in terms of sportiness in the high performance luxury sedan market.

Conceived and developed as “a real driving machine in the guise of a luxury sedan”, the Quattroporte Sport GT S is the ultimate expression of Maserati’s sportiness in the Quattroporte range.

The technical changes to the new Quattroporte Sport GT S cover four areas:

• mapping of the V8 4.7 litre engine, with power increased to 323kW

• gearshift management software, with new features designed to increase driving enjoyment

• front and rear suspension system featuring single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and lower ride height

• sport exhaust, controlled by pneumatic valves for a deep, throaty and captivating sound
