Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S Awards Edition


A special order Maserati will be unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, the "Awards Edition" is a celebration of the success of the multiple award-winning Maserati flagship saloon.

Six years after its launch, the Maserati Quattroporte has received no less than 56 awards worldwide and now, the Quattroporte Sport GT S "Awards Edition", based on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, aims to combine in one car all the features that have made the Trident flagship a benchmark in its segment.


Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S Awards Edition


The first thing you'll notice is the exclusive new livery named Quarzo fuso. It's a pearlescent metallic grey with a golden hue that highlights the body's elegant lines and is exclusive to this model. The exterior chrome parts, as well as on the side air vents and radiator surround has received what Maserati calls the burnished treatment and matches the 20-inch' Multi Trident dark grey rims with satin finish.

The braking system which uses dual-cast technology, is further enhanced by the hand-polished callipers both at the front and rear. With the Quattroporte Sport GT S "Awards Edition", Maserati and Brembo are introducing on the market for the first time polished callipers, treated with high precision mechanical processes and featuring a hand finish which gives them their special mirror-like appearance and enhances their sporty credentials at the same time.

The interior is all class and displays both sporting flair and craftsmanship that have always characterised the Maserati flagship saloon. The Poltrona Frau leather of the seats is combined with perforated Alcantara with a new undulated pattern, and the headlining is also in Alcantara. Completing the cabin finishes are the special brushed aluminium door sills and Piano Black satin-finish wood mouldings.

The boot is finished in black trim and features chrome details and a leather side pocket. The attention to detail has even been extended to the mats, which are made of an even richer and softer material.

A special exterior "Awards Edition" series plate completes the car's look and makes an already unique car even more unmistakable.

The Quattroporte Sport GT S "Awards Edition" will be available in the UK as a special order in the second half of 2010, as model year 2011. Prices will be available upon application. Australian deliveries are unknown at this stage.

2011 Maserati GranCabrio

August 25th 2009 18:00
Maserati GranCabrio


Maserati has finally unveiled their much anticipated convertible model ahead of its public unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The pininfarina-designed Maserati GranCabrio is the first four-seater convertible in the Trident carmaker's history and will become the Italian marque's third family of models alongside the Quattroporte and GranTurismo.

Maserati GranCabrio


Featuring a canvas-made roof as per Maserati's tradition, the GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7-litre V8 engine developing 323 kW. The only choice of transmission is a six-speed ZF automatic.

The Maserati GranCabrio will begin production during the next Northern winter with deliveries expected to commence the following spring.

The Official Maserati Press Release:

THE NEW MASERATI GRANCABRIO TO PREMIERE IN FRANKFURT

The Maserati GranCabrio, the first four-seater convertible in the Trident carmaker's history, will make its world wide debut on September 15 at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. The introduction of the GranCabrio – the Trident's third prong – completes Maserati's product line-up that now consists of three different families of models: Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio.

The GranCabrio represents the very essence of Maserati in terms of open-top cars. It's a Maserati in the purest sense of the word: from the unmistakable style by Pininfarina to the spacious interior, from the craftsmanship of each detail to the driving pleasure and performance. The Maserati GranCabrio enriches all five senses in a shared open-air experience, without sacrificing comfort and performance. A dream car designed and built for men and women who love to live life in an understated – though sophisticated – manner. Like all the made in Maserati open-top convertibles: special cars aimed at refined connoisseurs.

In fact the GranCabrio is continuing the Maserati tradition in open-top cars, joining models that have played such an important part in the Modena carmaker's history such as the 1950 A6G Frua Spyder, 1960 3500GT Vignale Spyder, 1964 Mistral Spyder, 1968 Ghibli Spyder and 2001 Spyder designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the car that marked Maserati's return to the United States. In the footsteps of tradition, the GranCabrio opens a new chapter, because never before have four-seater top-down models ever been produced at the Viale Ciro Menotti Maserati factory. Four proper seats, so that the rear passengers are not merely supporting actors, but co-stars of the journey.

The GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7 litre V8, 323 kW engine and is the convertible with the longest wheelbase on the market. The GranCabrio's roof is strictly canvas-made, emphasizing the link with the Maserati tradition.

The Maserati GranCabrio will be marketed starting next winter, and experienced by customers the world over from the following spring.
