Maserati Quattroporte Automatic

Maserati has enhanced the Quattroporte range with a new version of its flagship model equipped with an automatic gearbox.

The name Quattroporte Automatic hints at the main technical innovation: the fact that the car is fitted with a hydraulic six-speed gearbox. This places the emphasis on the fluidity of gear selection without compromising swiftness, thus making gear changes smoother.

The all-new transmission system is married to a different weight distribution (49% in the front and 51% in the rear) that maintains the Quattroporte's extremely sporty charateristics.

The new hydraulic transmission draws out the progression of the Maserati V8 engine at low-medium revs and does not limit its power.

The Quattroporte Automatic will be premiered to the international press at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show and go on worldwide sale from January.

Presented in 2003, the Quattroporte immediately came to the attention of the press and fans thanks to its elegant design, content and technology that puts the accent on performance. This combination has created a new segment in the market, that of the 'luxury sport sedan'.

The Trident vehicle leads a category in which other prestigious marques are now featuring. Since 2003, the Quattroporte has scooped 28 awards from the world press. This global recognition is a tangible sign that the vehicle has been appreciated by both the motoring world and the public alike.
