Italian manufacturer's most noteworthy Trident model to be
displayed in LA next week the revised Quattroporte, the S Q4 and GTS trims of which are treated
to some enhancements for the 2015 model year. The top-spec Quattroporte GTS in
particular "benefits from a sportier and aggressive appearance,"
highlighted by color-matched lower bodywork, an updated emblem, red accents on
the wheels and upgraded equipment inside, including red leather upholstery,
contrast stitching, piano black trim and integrated wifi.
For 2015, the smaller Ghibli sedan also gets standard
navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a new finish for the brake
calipers. Maserati will also showcase the GranTurismo MC Centennial Editions, as well as the Alfieri concept originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor
Show (new images of which we've included
below). Finally, the Petersen Automotive Museum is also collaborating with the
Italian automaker to display an array of historic Maseratis in the West Hall
lobby of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Maserati has always been famed for its
innovative engine design: in this respect the new 3.8 litre twin turbo V8
installed on the Quattroporte sets new standards, with a long list of
sophisticated solutions that make this the most high-tech propulsion unit ever
installed on a Maserati car. With its 530 HP, it takes the Quattroporte past
the 300 km/h threshold with ease.

The Maserati Quattroporte GTS is an extraordinary
car, and its design is no less impressive. Since 1963, the challenge of
stylistically combining the sporty performance and the classical elegance of
the most famous Italian luxury sedan has fascinated the greatest designers:
Pietro Frua, Bertone, Giorgetto Giugiaro, Marcello Gandini and Pininfarina.
Now, the model that represents the epitome of the Maserati philosophy has been
restyled in line with tradition, the perfect synthesis of luxury and power.

Now, the model that represents the epitome of the Maserati philosophy has been
restyled in line with tradition, the perfect synthesis of luxury and power.
Although considerably larger in size, the new
Quattroporte is a worthy successor to its forebears, retaining a streamlined
and utterly dynamic look. The first detail of this unmistakable design is the
distinctive front: the traditional Maserati oval grille, which leads on to the
majestic bonnet and the new front light assemblies, with LED day lights. A
stylistic feature which makes the car immediately recognisable.
The headlights almost merge into the line of
the sides, which start from the familiar three air vents behind the front
wheels and run on in a sequence of muscular curves to caress the new rear light
assemblies. The triangular C-pillar, which carries the iconic Saetta logo, is
another obvious link to tradition, and an uncompromising expression of the
model’s innate sporting character.
The styling with three streamlined windows and
no frames on the doors exalts the highly dynamic geometries, giving the car the
look of a sleek coupé. The all-LED wraparound rear lights integrate perfectly
with the design of the rear bumpers and boot, and are joined together by a
chrome-plated central trim that echoes the design of the radiator grille. Lower
down, at the sides, the two brushed steel trapezoidal tailpipes are another
eye-catching feature.
