2011 Maserati Quattroporte: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2011 Maserati Quattroporte is mostly a carryover, not a redesign. Its main update is sportier exterior detailing for the S trim, along with a small equipment change for the Sport GT S.
About the 2011 Maserati Quattroporte
5th generation Quattroporte (M139), post-2008 restyled version, late-cycle year before the 2013 redesign.
Maserati positioned the Quattroporte as an Italian luxury sedan with the feel of a true sports car, not just a formal chauffeur car. The brand’s own heritage material highlights its spacious cabin, high comfort level, and distinctive Pininfarina shape, but also its strong V8 power and driver-focused character. For most buyers, that meant a large sedan chosen for style, sound, and personality first, with luxury equipment and rear-seat space as part of the package rather than the whole story.
The base model is the calmest, most comfort-focused version, with a 4.2-liter V8, leather upholstery, heated front seats, Bose audio, and navigation. The S adds a stronger 4.7-liter V8, electronically controlled suspension, and Brembo brakes, while the Sport GT S is the sharper model with a lowered suspension, paddle shifters, and a leather-and-Alcantara cabin.
