The Appeal
With tastefully subdued styling Maserati proved they could build an effortlessly cool saloon that would stand on its own merits. Stunning Pininfarina design, a Ferrari-derived 4.2-litre V8 engine and boundless luxury made the Quattroporte an instant hit and we’re delighted to present this particularly fine 2007 example.
Having covered just 83800 miles with its two previous owners, this Maserati is in fine overall condition and benefits from a high original specification. Most notably, it benefits from the then newly-introduced ZF automatic gearbox - solving issues buyers had encountered with Maserati’s clever yet troublesome DuoSelect system and featuring the coveted ‘Sport’ mode. That snarling V8 is made more vocal still by the addition of a QP Larini exhaust system, specially tailored to enhance the sound made by a Quattroporte.
With an MOT valid until May 2024 and HPI clear status, this low mileage, two-owner, highly specced Maserati awaits its next custodian…
