Driving impressions of the Gran Turismo Maserati Quattroporte sports sedan

Here we take a little look at the one of the new Gran Turismo coupes which is the gorgeous looking Maserati Quattroporte sedan. Sam Abuelsamid, over at Autoblog had the opportunity to have a drive in this luxury sport sedan and to give his driving impressions of the vehicle, how lucky is that then.

Many of us must agree that Italian cars over the years have always had some sort of flaw with them, but one thing that these Italian cars do not lack is style, and the Maserati Quattroporte is no exception as the vehicle just oozes style. But what would you expect; it is part of the Fiat Company, so it is related to the Ferrari.

When you take a seat inside the car your behind is treated to some of the finest leather, and you will be forgiven for thinking that you are in a top of the range luxury car. But once you start the engine and hear the sound of the 400-hp 4.2L V8, you then know that you are in a sports car as your brain has been given a wakeup call.

The new 2007 Maserati Quattroporte now has a six-speed automatic transmission, which shifts through each gear smoothly. One of the best features of the vehicle has to be its suspension, as the more you push the car the more it wants to soak up the roughness of the roads.

Although not many of us will be able to afford the Maserati Quattroporte, these test drives allows some of us to just get a glimpse into the rich and famous.
