Hello exotic car lovers. We are selling our beloved and VERY rare 1986 Quattroporte with 22,000 original miles. This is the last year of the QPIII and is one of the best cars they made. This car is silver over tan (pumpkin) leather interior and nice tinted windows. The interior is in excellent condition, no rips or tears in the leather. Some minor spotting in the carpeting. All electronics work including the AC, it works great. All windows & lights work as does the remote trunk button. We just did a lot of maintenance on the car including AC system recharge, new rear door handle, oil change, tune up and much more. The paint is in very good condition, has a few tiny spots in the paint clearcoat on the roof but otherwise looks good. The car also has a few small dings that we are going to try and have removed before you pick the car up. This car has a 4.9 liter 288hp V8 engine with a Chrysler Torqueflight automatic transmission. The car is the fastest and best running QPIII we have ever driven. You could drive this car around the planet if you had a road long enough. It will run all day long and not overheat, even after sitting in 2 hours worth of Atlanta traffic. The only problem we are aware of is the hood struts will not hold the hood up and the interior hood release lever needs to be held to open the hood, it will not release both hood locks if you just pop the lever once. This is our 5th Quattroporte and BY far the fastest. It does have a custom sport exhaust and is pretty loud but sounds absolutely glorious. Everything works as it should. Car gets a lot of attention and people just love it. Runs and drives perfectly and VERY smooth. Tires are in good shape. Car has never had any body work or accident damage. VERY VERY rare car, less than 100 of them were brought into the states in 1986. Cost $70k in 1986! Many QPIIIs appeared in lots of movies in the 80s and 90s. Its an amazing and fun car, folks love this car we get tons of thumbs up and smiles. We are Maserati Club Members and are multiple exotic car owners. The ONLY reason why we are selling it is because my elderly Dad cannot handle the car safely anymore. We have attended many car shows and Maserati and Ferrari Club events with it and its a hit everytime we show it! Its got a clear title and a crystal clear Carfax report. You are welcome to come see the car and drive it. If you need more pics, please let me know. Car comes with tool kit, spare wheel, service receipts and some owner's/workshop manuals. |

Maserati Levante could get a V8 to battle the Cayenne Turbo
Tue, Apr 19 2016Maserati's new Levante crossover is based on the platform shared by the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans. The Quattroporte's top engine is a 523-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8. When asked if that engine would fit in the Levante, a Maserati engineer gave the answer we were hoping to hear almost immediately. "Yes, it fits, and we have a prototype already," said Davide Danesin, the head of Maserati vehicle programs. The Levante will launch with two models, both of which use the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that Ferrari builds for Maserati, but in two different tunes. The first generation of the V6 launched in the Ghibli and Quattroporte. While the V8 is only currently used in the rear-drive Quattroporte GTS, Danesin assures us that packaging the V8 and an all-wheel-drive system works. There is that prototype, after all. The fact that Danesin volunteered that a V8 prototype exists leads us to believe it's being very seriously considered, since manufacturers reluctantly acknowledge that there will even be a future, let alone one that will bring new, as-yet-unannounced products. Maserati officials caution that it may be tough to make a case for such a vehicle, however, as the over-500-hp SUV segment is pretty small, at about 12,000 units per year by their estimates. It's also relatively crowded, with the logical bogeys being the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (520 hp) and Turbo S (570 hp) and the Range Rover Sport SVR (550 hp). None of them will touch the Levante's upcoming American cousin, the Hellcat-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, but that's cool. View 21 Photos We'd guess that the yay/nay on a V8 Levante will hinge on the overall popularity of the new model as well as the mix of 345-hp Levante versus 424-hp Levante S models once customers start ordering. Which is to say, if you think you'll want a V8 Levante eventually, get out there and buy a few Levante S models when they hit dealers this October. In other Maserati powertrain news, we're told the second-generation V6, which makes 20 more horsepower in its angriest tune and debuts in the Levante, will show up in the Ghibli and Quattroporte "soon." We'd peg that at mid-cycle refresh time, which should be in a year or so. The second-gen V6 gets its extra power from re-profiled camshafts, some redesign work on the heads, and other tweaks, likely in software. Oh, and for more on the first Maserati crossover and that updated engine, watch for our first drive of the twin-turbo V6 Levante very soon.

Fiat Chrysler open to mergers, and PSA is looking for one
Fri, Mar 8 2019GENEVA — Fiat Chrysler (FCA) is open to pursuing alliances and merger opportunities if they make sense, but a sale of its luxury brand Maserati is not an option, Chief Executive Mike Manley said on Tuesday. "We have a strong independent future, but if there is a partnership, a relationship or a merger which strengthens that future, I will look at that," Manley told reporters at the Geneva Motor Show. Asked whether he would consider selling Maserati to China's Geely Automobile Holdings, as suggested by recent media reports, Manley said: "Maserati is one of our really beautiful brands and it has an incredibly bright future. ... No." FCA is often cited as a possible merger candidate. Bloomberg said this week that the Italian-American carmaker was attractive to France's PSA Group given its exposure to the U.S. market and its popular Jeep brand. The Detroit News' headline on the situation Friday read, "Fiat Chrysler CEO open to a deal as PSA circles" and stated that Manley's open-to-just-about-anything comments were aimed directly at PSA. Bloomberg said talks between the two were preliminary and said PSA chief Carlos Tavares has also contemplated mergers with General Motors or Jaguar Land Rover, which is losing money for Indian owner Tata. PSA has enjoyed a decade of turnaround and has $10.2 billion in net cash available. The maker of Peugeot, Citroen and DS, acquired Opel and Vauxhall in 2017 and made them almost instantly profitable. Manley, who took over after the death of Sergio Marchionne, said he currently had no news on possible deals. Manley also said the world's seventh-largest carmaker, which is lagging rivals in developing hybrid and electric vehicles, would take the least costly approach to comply with increasingly more stringent European emissions regulations. "There are three options. You can sell enough electrified vehicles to balance your fleet. Two: You can be part of a pooling scheme. Three is to pay the fines," he said. "I don't see a scenario when (carmakers) continue to subsidize technologies ... indefinitely." The carmaker had said last June it would invest 9 billion euros ($10.19 billion) over the next five years to introduce hybrid and electric cars across all regions to be fully compliant with emissions regulations. Asked about a 5-billion-euro investment plan for Italy FCA announced in November but then put under review, Manley said the plan had been confirmed as originally presented.
