For Sale: 2010 Maserati Quattroporte in Katwijk, Netherlands

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS 4.7 V8, 2010. Eight owners, 130,234 km, service books from new.

Rarely has the team at HooG Selections been more fired up than for this acquisition. A Maserati Quattroporte from the fifth model generation. Lovely, we can almost hear you thinking, there are plenty of those about! Rest assured, of the ultimate Sport GT S specification (with a space between GT and S!) just 1,847 were built, and in this outrageous colour combination far, far fewer.

The fifth generation of the Maserati Quattroporte, penned by Pininfarina, made its debut in September 2003 at the IAA in Frankfurt. Considerably larger and, frankly, no longer comparable to its predecessor in any way, the Quattroporte was initially offered with the familiar 4.2 V8 producing 400 bhp, mated to a robotised manual gearbox called 'Cambiocorsa'. And although the design of both exterior and interior, the gorgeous and creamy Ferrari V8 and its driving characteristics were an immediate hit, that aforementioned gearbox rather spoiled the party.

Fortunately, the Italians came to realise that the Quattroporte could only become a true success with a conventional automatic, and so it came to pass that, from model year 2007 onwards, a wonderfully shifting ZF 6-speed automatic could be offered. And it got even better, because 2 model years later, from production year 2008, the so-called Quattroporte S was fitted with the new 4.7 V8 delivering 430 instead of 400 bhp and, more importantly, with more torque: 490 instead of 450 Nm.
