Very Rare 1986 Maserati Quattroporte Iii Last Year Of This Exotic Vintage V8 on 2040-cars
|
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. |

100th Anniversary Maserati Ghibli stars in the 2014 Neiman Marcus catalog
Thu, 09 Oct 2014Each year, retailer Neiman Marcus releases a Christmas catalog detailing some truly absurd gifts. Chief among them is a Neiman Marcus edition car. Usually from a luxury or exotic manufacturer, the Neiman Marcus models are a limited edition and generally sell out very quickly. Past participants have included the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, McLaren MP4-12C Spider, Ferrari FF and, the most plebian car in recent memory, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. For this year's catalog, the Maserati Ghibli is up for purchase.
Not only will it make a great Christmas gift for the ultra wealthy, but this $95,000 Maser also pays tribute to the Italian automaker's 100th anniversary. Based on the top-of-the-line S Q4 model, this Ghibli adds a few unique features, including bespoke 20-inch wheels with centennial center caps and a black border for the grille.
The cabin features premium leather in Cuoiu, which is basically tan. Black contrast stitching can be found throughout the cabin and on the Tridents stitched into the headrests, while bespoke piano black trim rounds out the interior. Finally, the center console bears a badge denoting the Ghibli's unique edition number.
Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
Maserati calling in new Quattroporte for electrical issue
Fri, 27 Dec 2013Exotic automobiles are just that: exotic. As in, rare. While Maserati is trying is darnedest to emerge from the fringes, its products are still less common than competitors from Germany, Japan or even the UK. Which is probably - more so than any superior quality or safety standards - why we rarely see the Trident marque's products the subject of a recall. Although it does happen upon occasion.
Back in the spring, Maserati had to call in over seven thousand examples of the Quattroporte, GranTurismo and Alfa 8C over rust issues. Now that the new Quattroporte is upon us, the Modenese automaker has apparently run into another small problem.
This time the issue revolves around the wiring harness for the alternator/starter motor, an improper crimp in which could cause the battery cable to short and start a fire. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is prompting 63 owners of the 2014 Quattroporte GTS V8 to bring their cars in to their local Maserati dealer to have the wiring harness replaced.
