Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT 2007

History and background

The 2007 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT belongs to the fourth generation of the Quattroporte, a model series launched by Maserati to combine a large luxury sedan with a distinctly sporty character. Presented in 2003, the fourth generation marked a period for Maserati in which design, performance and exclusivity came together emphatically. In the market, the Quattroporte positioned itself as an alternative to established German luxury sedans, but with a distinct Italian signature and less mass production.

The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT occupies a specific place within that generation. The version came with a 4.2 V8 and the DuoSelect transmission, a combination characteristic of Maserati's technical direction in those years. In practice, the Sport GT version was often chosen for its more performance-oriented tuning, while the basic design of the car remained emphatically that of a full-size luxury sedan. The Quattroporte thus has a role in the history of Maserati as a model that made the brand more visible in the segment of fast top-of-the-line sedans.

With the Maserati Quattroporte of this generation, the balance between classic luxury elements and modern technology also stood out. That applied to the body shape, but also to the way the car was positioned: as a limousine with sports car components. In that context fits the 2007 model year, in which the Quattroporte Sport GT was already a recognizable and refined elaboration of the model.
