Maserati has today released some photos of their all-new luxury saloon that will replace the Quattroporte. This model will be officially presented at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), taking place mid January in Detroit.
Right now, details about the new Quattroporte are strictly limited, however, we can show you just how sexy it is. The front end features the new styling direction for the Italian company, first seen on the Kubang SUV Concept last year in Frankfurt.
“Some of the elements characterising the previous model have been purposely maintained: the front grille, the three side vents and the triangular C pillar. At the same time new style and functional features have been introduced: the strong belt line that runs through the entire side of the car giving the new Quattroporte a look and feel that is at once muscular and elegant, with frameless doors and three side windows,” Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Head of Maserati Design Centre says.
“Inside, the design of the Quattroporte aims at essentiality, stressing the simplicity of lines and the full functionality of the on-board instrumentation. Functional elements are blended with soft quality surfaces made of prestigious woods and refined leathers,” Romaciotti adds.
The all-new Maserati Quattroporte will be power by an all-new V8 engine, developed by Maserati and Ferrari engineers in the heart of Italy’s motor valley. They are going to be produced in the Ferrari plant in Maranello.
This is only the first of many new Maserati models which will supposedly boost the company’s sales to 50,000 units per year by 2015.
“It is a growth based on those values of style, elegance, quality and performance for which Maserati has always been recognised and praised in almost 100 years of history. This exciting progression will make the new Maserati a true global player with two new production sites in two different continents and a heart solidly planted in Modena, Italy, where our roots are,” said Harald Wester, Maserati CEO today.
