Defined by Maserati as "the ultimate expression of Maserati’s saloon sportiness", the Quattroporte Sport GT S is focused on high performance dynamic behaviour and handling.

This result was obtained with the introduction of new suspension layout, featuring single rate dampers and a “racing” set up.

The car was lowered by 10mm at the front and 25mm at the rear compared to other versions of the Quattroporte, and features new, stiffer springs and dampers.

The new braking system, developed in collaboration with Brembo, uses dual-cast brake discs, and this is the first time such a set up has been employed on a road car.

Unlike traditional cast iron discs, dual-cast discs are made of two materials, cast iron and aluminium. They provide improved performance with greater resistance to fade even at the highest temperatures.

The braking system also benefits from new mono-block, six-piston callipers at the front.

The specifically-developed tires are 245/35-R20 at the front and 295/30-R20 at the rear, and are mounted on eye-catching dark-chrome 20", seven spoke alloy wheels.

The exterior design is distinguished by a more aggressive look, obtained thanks to the black-chrome mesh front grille, a characteristic element of sporty Maseratis, the side window trims and the two double exhaust pipes which are also in black. The door handles are in the same colour as the body of the car.

The choice of material for the interior of the Quattroporte Sport GT S reflects the car's sporty character, and includes Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara, which covers the central zone of the seats, the interior door panels and the steering wheel.

The dashboard is finished in carbon fibre with aluminium treads, whilst front seats are characterised by a new, more cosseting sporty shape.
