The 2007 Maserati Quattroporte GT is a sexy Italian alternative to other high-end performance sedans. And thanks to its new automatic transmission and softened adaptive suspension, this year's model is the best one yet for American roads and tastes. Its distinctive styling inside and out, confident handling dynamics, excellent new automatic transmission, relative rarity.

The car has been well looked after but does show normal signs of wear and tear. There is a distortion in the front windscreen but does not effect driving or the rain wiper sensors. There was a scratch in the screen that I has profsssionaly polished out but it did leave a inperfection. There is also a small tear in the leather on the center console in the back, that can easily be mended and a few scratches on the rims. Apart from that this car is in great shape for a 2007 model and will keep heads turning.

This car is advertised elsewhere, and please contact me for more information.

Model Overview

The 2007 Maserati Quattroporte GT is powered by a Ferrari-designed, 4.2L V8 engine making 400 horsepower. The engine is now available either with DuoSelect--an electronically actuated, F1-racing-derived six-speed gearbox that can manage precise, performance-oriented shifts--or a conventional six-speed hydraulic automatic transmission. DuoSelect models all get shift paddles behind the steering wheel; a sport mode allows especially quick shifts. The Automatic Sport GT also gets the paddle-shifter arrangement. With the new automatic, the Quattroporte can accelerate to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 168 mph.The Quattroporte has better weight distribution than most sport sedans and is claimed by the automaker to be the best-handling sedan in the world. With the engine mounted behind the front axle, more weight is placed on the rear wheels for better traction and better-balanced handling. With the DuoSelect gearbox, the weight distribution is especially good (split 47/53 front/rear), with the transmission locked to the differential for optimal performance.The suspension is also designed for high-performance driving. It uses forged aluminum arms and supports and a special geometry that prevents the front end from diving during braking or the rear end from squatting during hard acceleration. The Skyhook suspension system, co-developed with Mannesmann-Sachs, uses a series of sensors to instantly adjust the shocks for driving conditions; it includes normal and sport settings. A Brembo anti-lock braking system brings big four-piston calipers (with cross-drilled discs on the Sport GT) to all four wheels for quick stops from high speed. Electronic stability control is also standard.On the safety front, electronic stability control is standard. So are six air bags, including front side air bags and side curtain air bags covering front and rear occupants.Inside, the Quattroporte is finished in Frau Leather and several possible types of wood, including rosewood, walnut, mahogany, Black Piano, and Tanganyika. There are also nine possible interior colors. Entertainment is provided by a Bose audio system developed for the Quattroporte.Executive GT models get a classic appearance, with chrome front and side grilles, and ball-polished 19-inch wheels. Sport GT models feature sporty red accents and a Maserati trident in front, plus a mesh grille and carbon fiber interior trim. Stylish 20-inch wheels are available.For those wanting to customize their Quattroporte, there's an Alfieri Maserati Workshops program that allows expanded color choices, along with custom materials and stitching inside, plus additional features like a rear DVD player and TV tuner, side blinds, and ventilated massage seats.

Up to now, the Maserati Quattroporte was a fine, sporty luxury sedan that was let down by one thing — its DuoSelect transmission, an automated manual similar to the one used by stablemate Ferrari in the F430 and 599GTB. Instant, brutal gearshifts seem to enhance the race-car-style experience in an F430, and the clunky automatic mode doesn't seem to be a problem, either.

But in a luxury sedan, the DuoSelect's superfast manual shifts and clunky automatic mode make for poor bedfellows. In response to relatively disappointing Quattroporte sales — 3374 sold in the U.S. between its debut in the fall of 2004 and the end of 2006 — Maserati has fitted the car with a six-speed ZF automatic transmission. The DuoSelect model, which stays in the lineup, has a rear transaxle with a torque tube betwixt the engine and final drive. To fit the automatic, Maserati had to make several major changes. The torque tube is gone, and in its place are a conventional differential and a two-piece driveshaft. The engine now has a wet-sump oil system in place of the DuoSelect's dry-sump arrangement.

The 4.2-liter V-8 again makes 396 horsepower at 7000 rpm, but torque increases from 333 to 339 pound-feet, developed at 4250 instead of 4500 rpm. The weight distribution has gone from 47 to 53 percent front to rear, to 49/51, which is still more rear bias than its main rivals — the BMW 7-series, the Mercedes-Benz S-class, and the Audi A8 — have.

We drove base Quattroportes on challenging roads around Monte Carlo and found the automatic to be a huge improvement. The car still steers, stops, and goes more like a four-door Ferrari than any of its competitors, but the automatic gives it a far more refined highway demeanor. It also gives away little in spirited driving, because the adaptive six-speed downshifts early and holds onto a gear until redline in sport mode, which also firms up the electronically adaptive shocks of the Skyhook system and sharpens the throttle response. Manual shifting is executed via a lever or paddle shifters. (The latter are optional on the base model and uplevel Executive GT and are standard on the Sport GT.)

With one of the sexiest exhaust notes this side of an F430, balanced and fluent handling, and a relatively supple ride, the Quattroporte is the well-heeled enthusiast's luxury sedan, more involving than a Mercedes S-class

Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears

Mon, 20 May 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.

Recharge Wrap-up: DIY Tesla charging arm, Tesla vs. Maserati smackdown

Wed, Jun 29 2016

A Tesla Model S owner built his own version of an automatic charging arm. Assumingly inspired by the creepy, snake-like prototype Tesla previewed a while back, Deepak Mital's autonomous robot – which he calls the Evtron Â– finds the plug on his Model S and connects the cable to begin charging. Mital says he plans to open source his design once he's finished. It may not be as "sensual" as Tesla's prototype, but people are less likely to flee it in terror. See the Evtron in action in the video above, and read more at Electrek. A Maserati dealership has taken down a comparison between the Ghibli and the Tesla Model S after a thrashing from the EV community. First of all, the Tesla corner pointed out that the listed price of the Model S 60 at $89,320 is misleading, as the current model starts at $66,000 (a loaded 2015 could be optioned up to the price stated by Maserati, but to call that a fair comparison to the $69,800 Ghibli is highly debatable). Other, older Tesla specs also angered the EV supporters. After a Reddit post and a subsequent backlash toward Maserati of Kirkland, the dealership removed the comparison from its website. Read more at Electrek. A new report predicts that the EV charging system market will generate $8.02 billion by 2022. The report from Allied Market Research, titled "World Electric Vehicle Charging System Market," says that the market will see a CAGR of 30.7 percent from 2016 to 2022. In terms of region, Europe will dominate the market, and home charging systems will outpace public chargers. Forces like unstable fuel prices and government programs to reduce carbon emissions will spur EV sales, which, in turn, will boost the market for charging systems. Read more in the press release below. Electric Vehicle Charging System Market is Estimated to Generate $8.02 Billion by 2022 A new report by Allied Market Research titled, "World Electric Vehicle Charging System Market", forecasts that the world electric vehicle charging system market would generate revenue of $8.02 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 30.7% during the forecast period, 2016-2022. In 2015, Europe was the highest revenue-generating region owing to the increasing penetration of home and commercial charging systems in countries such as the Netherland, Denmark, UK and France.

Vastly Upgraded Italian Speed Sedan Kicks Off Brand Renaissance
The sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte is big - and not just because it's 6.5 inches longer than before with a wheelbase that stretches 4.3 inches beyond its predecessor. The new Quattroporte is big also because it's a huge deal both for its segment and for Maserati. Just as FoMoCo is finally chucking $1 billion at Lincoln MoCo, so too is Fiat investing 1.2 billion euros ($1.55 billion at the time this writing) in Maser's future hopes of achieving the larger success we all have wished for it. And after a thorough drive over the intensely challenging mountain roads of France's Mediterranean coast, we can't deny that there's finally reason to put some faith in this long overdue investment.
The much-applauded outgoing Quattroporte enjoyed a reputation of being among the very fastest executive sedans of its day, all while delivering the sportiest overall ride and handling, even in base trims. Yet there was constant corporate-level dysfunction that kept all Maseratis from getting important upgrades or receiving much-needed investment support. So, the outgoing Quattroporte has up until now sort of languished nobly, largely resting on the laurels it earned when it launched way back in 2003.
