Maserati Quattroporte Duo Select 2004

History and background

The 2004 Maserati Quattroporte Duo Select belongs to the fourth generation of the Quattroporte, introduced in 2003 as Maserati's return to the large luxury sedan segment. With this generation, the Quattroporte was repositioned as a car in which Italian design, long-distance comfort and sporty engineering come together. The model was developed under the responsibility of Giorgetto Giugiaro for the exterior, while the technical basis was closely related to other Maserati models of the period.

Within the luxury sedan market, the Maserati Quattroporte Duo Select distinguished itself by its six-figure performance denomination, combined with relatively exclusive production. The car came with a 4.2-liter V8 and the Duo Select transmission, a robotized manual gearbox that was typical of Maserati during this period. The Quattroporte of this generation was aimed at buyers who sought not only comfort but also a distinct driving experience. The Japanese first registration on 16-10-2004 fits into the broader market for imported top European models, in which maintenance discipline and limited use often play a role.

The Maserati Quattroporte Duo Select occupied a special place in Maserati's lineup because with this car the brand showed that a four-door limousine could also have a distinctly sporty character. Compared to many German competitors, the emphasis was more strongly on emotion, sound and design, without relinquishing its function as a luxury touring car. Thus, the Quattroporte remained a model with its own position within the premium segment.
