About this Collectable
In 1963, the first Maserati Quattroporte (QP) was released (completely in line with the car offered here) with a 4.2 V8 engine, a racing-inspired engine designed to quickly transport successful businessmen and celebrities from A to B. By Maserati standards, it was quite a successful car. Unlike the QP-2, which was built under the Citroën regime. (Fortunately) only 15 were produced of this by far the ugliest model Maserati ever made. The third series arrived in the late 1970s and was produced until 1990. A massive machine, over 5 meters long, 2 meters wide, and weighing over 2000 kg. The fourth series dates back to the Fiat era. Not the very best QP, to be sure. They were available as V6 and V8 versions, both with (quite responsive) biturbo engines. Based more or less on the Biturbo Maseratis, it became the most successful up to that point, and with its V8, one of the fastest sedans available at the time.
The Quattroporte 4.2 offered here comes from Japan, has been very well maintained there, and dates from the 5th series. It is a remarkable model that combines sportiness, luxury, and practicality. It features a Ferrari V8, which was also installed in the F430 and the spectacular Alfa 8C, among others. This Quattroporte was delivered new in Fuji Bianco, a Ferrari color, which at the time commanded a premium of no less than €10,000! In its early years, the Quattroportes were equipped with the F1 Cambio Corsa gearbox, which enabled lightning-fast gear changes thanks to a robotized shifting system. Most of those who have an opinion about it either never drove one or never learned to drive one. Nevertheless, from 2007 onwards, Maserati decided to offer the Quattroporte with a ZF automatic transmission, offering the perfect level of comfort. This example features a flawless automatic transmission and ideal 50/50 weight distribution, recognizable by its blue valve covers. Of course, you can shift gears using the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters! The current owner is a stickler for detail and has performed all the necessary preventative maintenance. The "Skyhook" shock absorbers have been fitted with new bushings, ensuring a free-flowing suspension. Furthermore, all fluids, filters, and spark plugs have been changed and replaced, the rims have been powder-coated, and four new Hankook tires have been fitted. The interior hasn't been overlooked either. The sticky buttons have been replaced, and the brakes are as good as new all around.
Our opinion
A unique opportunity to buy a Quattroporte in this unique color AND with the right gearbox. A true Italian thoroughbred for the price of a used VW Golf. Where else can you find such a car with so much character? And let's be honest, this is much nicer than yet another S-Class, A8, or 7 Series?
About the seller
The current owner of the Quattroporte is a Maserati enthusiast from the very beginning. His family swears by the brand, and it's instilled in him from birth. He has done everything he can to get this fundamentally good car into top condition.
