About the 2010 Maserati Quattroporte
5th generation (2004-2012), second model year of the 2009 mid-cycle refresh
Maserati positioned the Quattroporte as an Italian luxury sport sedan that combines a spacious, hand-finished cabin with the steering response, engine sound, and balance of a much smaller performance car. Its core distinction from German luxury sedans was emotional appeal: Pininfarina styling, naturally aspirated V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a cabin rich in leather and wood, without giving up four-door comfort and long-distance usefulness.
The base Quattroporte was the luxury-focused model, with a 4.2-liter V8, a comfort-oriented suspension, heated power front seats, navigation, and Bose audio. The S paired a stronger 4.7-liter V8 with an adaptive suspension and larger brakes, while the Sport GT S emphasized performance with a lower, firmer suspension, quicker shifts, a sport exhaust, and leather-and-Alcantara seats.
