2005 Maserati Quattroporte Gorgeous Well Kept Exotic on 2040-cars

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. Call Doug 937 231 0193.

Leno profiles Pebble Beach-winning 1956 Maserati
Tue, 26 Nov 2013We enjoy it when Jay Leno and his web show, Jay Leno's Garage, take a look at new, modern cars. When the comedian gets his paws on a proper classic, though, he's at his best. Leno is able to display an impressive breadth of knowledge about even obscure models, and that's no different here, as the winner of its class at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a 1956 Maserati A6G-2000 Allemano rolls into the garage.
Part of the Maserati A6 family, this A6G is one of just 21 cars produced with coachwork by Carrozzeria Allemano, making it one of the rarer cars to grace Jay Leno's Garage. It's powered by a 2.0-liter inline-six, and, as Leno points out, is far more of a road car than the race-oriented Maseratis of the day.
Scroll down for the latest episode from Jay Leno's Garage on this fully restored 1956 Maserati.
Audi gets Q2 and Q4 badges in trademark swap with FCA
Sun, Jan 17 2016Audi has swapped trademarks with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to snare the rights to the Q2 and Q4 badges for upcoming crossover SUVs. Audi CEO Rupert Stadler confirmed at the Detroit Motor Show that the automaker had finally persuaded FCA to release the two names that would let Audi lock up the Q1 to Q9 badges for its growing SUV family. Audi already plans to drop the Q2 name onto its MQB-based city crossover five-door this year, while the Q4 badge will slot onto the rump of a coupe-like version of the next Q3. It will also reserve the Q1 badge for a 2018 baby crossover, based around the architecture of the next A1 hatch. The A1 will share a lot of its engineering with Volkswagen's Polo-based soft-roader, dubbed T-Cross in concept form. The German company has also pounced on the naming rights for SQ versions of all of its Q-cars, along with F-Tron to cover the day when it pushes hydrogen fuel cell cars into production. Stadler insisted that no money had changed hands in order to pry the two badges off FCA, admitting that they had "each found something we needed." "We promised each other we wouldn't disclose what it cost, but it was not something they were willing to sell," Stadler said. "We tried to get it years ago and they said 'No, never,' but there is never 'never' in business. ... This year I went back to them with a proposal and we talked and there were some negotiations and then we agreed to it." Those negotiations are believed to have centered on a trademark swap with a Volkswagen Group name that FCA desperately (evidently) wants to use on a Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge or Maserati. Asked if Audi had given FCA a trademark in return for Q2 and Q4, Stadler replied, "Something very much like that, yes." Audi has used Italian names on past concept cars that FCA could be interested in, such as the 2001 Avantissimo concept and the 2003 Nuvolari coupe. The latter was named after legendary pre-war racer Tazio, who won grands prix for both Alfa Romeo and Audi's forerunner, Auto Union. Both are unlikely trade chips, with laws in Europe preventing the trademarking of the names of actual people. There is always "quattro" (Italian for "four"), but after investing nearly four decades locking it in as an Audi all-wheel-drive name, it's just not anything like trade bait.

Tue, Sep 1 2015For those of you paying attention, we've really ramped up the old Autoblog video game these days. Our new series Car Club USA joins Translogic and The List, and there are more Daily Drivers and Short Cuts than ever. But sometimes, all you care about is the car. The Autoblog Beauty-Roll video series has one goal: bring you glossy video images of cars, and nothing but. We're collecting moving pictures of all the cars we test, inside and out. Each episode comes with a hit of engine sound – start-up and with a few revs – to round out the package. As you can tell, today's lovely subject is of a slightly older vintage than is typical of our Beauty-Roll fare. We shot a number of striking vehicles at this year's Pebble Beach party and will be rolling them out over the coming days and weeks. Set your resolution to max, kick it into full-screen, turn up the sound, and enjoy today's subject, the 1955 Maserati A6G 2000 Zagato Coupe.
