The Maserati Quattroporte III is a luxury sedan produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati between 1979 and 1990. It was the successor of the Quattroporte II and was replaced by the Quattroporte IV. The Quattroporte III was equipped with a V8 engine that was available in different versions, including a 4.2-liter engine with 255 hp and a 4.9-liter engine with 280 hp. The car had a top speed of about 140 mph and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. The Quattroporte III had a striking design, with sharp lines and a low body that emphasized the sporty nature of the car. The interior was luxurious and comfortable, with leather upholstery and wood accents. Although the Quattroporte III offered impressive performance and a luxurious appearance, the car had its flaws. Reliability was not always good and the car was not as refined as its German competitors. Nevertheless, the Maserati Quattroporte III remains a popular collector's item for its beautiful design and combination of sporting performance and luxury. It is an important model in Maserati's history and is still regarded as one of the most iconic and stylish sedans ever produced. With only 2,155 units produced, it is also relatively rare. The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us. You can inspect the cars on the viewing days for which you have to make a reservation through our ticketshop.
