2005 Maserati Quattroporte Gorgeous Well Kept Exotic on 2040-cars
Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States

It's very difficult to describe this car adequately! It has many personalities. You can drive it easily and shift at low revs and haul your mother around and all she thinks is "What an absolutely lovely car! I wish I was 15 years younger, I'd buy it" She's 91. On another hand you can load it up with your gear head friends and dial it up while in sport mode and just blow their minds. This is an extremely capable (big) sports car. Just not much else even comes close. Personally I prefer to go it alone and just get lost in the drive. And what a drive------!! This car started life in California I'm told (it does have just the California Navigation disc) and then found it's way to North Carolina. I brought it to Ohio, but it has not seen any severe winter conditions. No salt corrosion. Car was fully serviced in July at a Maserati dealer (I have receipts): fluids changed, new brakes pads, rear tie rods (recall campaign). Previous owner stated the dealer she bought the car from had installed new tires just a few thousand miles ago. Tires, Pirelli P Zero's, do appear as new. New license plate bracket installed. Car runs and drives fabulously. Smells like new. Sounds fantastic when pressed! Car has more features than I can remember, but those interested probably have done their homework---any specific questions I can address. The exterior has just a flew nicks from stones or such (58000 miles) but the paint is just amazing. I have never seen factory paint done so well, as perfect as it gets. One door ding not easily seen. The interior shows minimal wear. There is one small mark on the driver's seat bottom, a little discoloration, very minor. Actually these photos were taken before I cleaned the seats, nearly all discoloration wiped off readily. The wood console shows just a bit of what must be sun damage to the clear finish on the top edge. Again, very minor. All in all a very well kept environment. I would guess this car has always been garaged. A few of the rubber buttons/ash tray have a bit of the "sticky rubber" syndrome common to these and pretty much all Italian cars. Kinda nice really for you can definitively feel those rather small buttons while driving. And there's a lot of them! This car probably has 5 times the computer capacity that NASA had in the Apollo program. I'm still learning the capabilities. I mostly just drive in rapture and love the natural music of that Ferrari derived marvel . The stereo does kick butt though if wanted. These cars must represent one of the best bangs for the buck presently. No other car to my taste has all the qualities of these. $100,000+ when new, about a quarter of that now. Good lord, this is a lot of car for not really much money. The styling, performance, utility (really) is unmatched. Thanks for looking, I encourage a personal inspection if possible.

Watch Maserati prep this Quattroporte for Geneva by hammering on its sheetmetal
Tue, 05 Mar 2013There are untold amounts of primping and set up that goes on in the days leading up to an international auto show. Of course, there are exhibits to erect, lights to hang and scripts to rehearse. There are also cars to prep. Usually the latter involves little more than removing finger prints and dusting, but in the case of Maserati the day before the Geneva Motor Show press days, the process apparently includes banging on the sheetmetal of one of your prized showcars like a crazed woodpecker.
We're not sure what caused a surface irregularity in the door skin of this 2014 Quattroporte - perhaps shipping damage - but it was interesting (and mildly painful) to watch, and hear, a show prepper attempt to repair this six-figure sedan with what looks like a jeweler's hammer, high-intensity light and soft cloth.
That'll buff right out.
Maserati orders explode, 22,500 through September
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Last year when Maserati revealed a plan to sell 50,000 units globally by 2015, it seemed like a pretty steep goal for an automaker that had sold just 6,300 units for the entire year. It turns out that goal may be a little on the conservative side. Through September, Automotive News Europe says the Italian automaker has already racked up 22,500 orders mainly on the backs of the redesigned Quattroporte and the all-new Ghibli, and there are still more new products in the pipeline.
Back in August, we heard that demand in China was playing a strong role in Maserati's big numbers in 2013, and this doesn't even include the upcoming Levante SUV, which Maserati CEO Harald Wester expects to add as many as 25,000 units to the mix when it goes on sale in 2015. According to the ANE report, the Quattroporte is still the most popular model with almost 10,000 orders so far this year, while the smaller and more affordable Ghibli is performing quite well with almost 8,000 orders; the aging, but soon-to-be-replaced, GranTurismo models have about 5,000 orders.
Maserati surprises Manhattan with Centennial edition GranTurismo
Thu, 17 Apr 2014The GranTurismo may be getting a little long in the proverbial tooth, but it hasn't quite been a century just yet. It has, however, been a hundred years since Maserati was originally founded, and to celebrate that milestone, the Modenese automaker has rolled in to the New York Auto Show this year with a pair of special editions. Available in either coupe or convertible form, the MC Centennial Editions arrived as a surprise just as the Alfieri concept was a month ago in Geneva, albeit somewhat less revolutionary.
The special editions are differentiated from any other by their paint scheme, special wheels, revamped interior and special badging throughout. Magma red and Inchiostro blue - the colors of the city of Bologna where the company was founded a century ago - are new to the Maserati catalog, and come with a choice of wheel options with special logos at the center. The interior color is specified to complement the exterior with red, white or blue trim and carbon-fiber accents.
Power comes from the same 4.7-liter V8 as the GranTurismo MC Stradale or GranCabrio Sport, driving 454 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. That's said to be enough to propel either coupe or convertible to a top speed of 185 miles per hour, and comes coupled with Brembo brakes and MC sport suspension. Deliveries commence in July, but you can scope it out here in the gallery of live images from the show floor above, the galleries of stock images below and the press release below that.
