The 2012 Quattroporte is available in S and Sport GT S trims. Despite weighing about 4.400 pounds, the Maserati Quattroporte manages to feel like a car half its size with well-weighted steering, limited body roll and a captivating eagerness to change direction. Steering is sharp and communicative, and the Quattroporte's unique-in-its-class front mid-mounted engine, its weight set entirely AFT of the front axles, Gives the car outstanding balance. The overall shape is handsome and well proportioned, as expensive Italian cars almost invariably are.
The Maserati Quattroporte, Sport GT and Executive GT arrive with hefty price tags, though, and They Do not offer the same straight-line punch as some of Their full-size luxury sedan European or Japanese competitors. QP drivers will forgo the pleasures of iPod and Bluetooth. There is no smart-key available, no power trunk closure, no road-following headlamps.
