Dear Maseratisti,

For the first time in its long history, Maserati proudly presents a model to its customers at the same time as it is shown to the press. This is a world exclusive and can be viewed only in the Maserati.com newsletter and through the Maserati Owners’ site.

Over the past few months, prestigious magazines from all over the world have been trying to predict what the latest Quattroporte, the new flagship of the House of the Trident, would look like.

The car, designed by Pininfarina, sticks to the strengths of the Maserati brand: class, elegance and tradition. Comfort is assured without compromising the sporty drive typical of the vehicles produced at the recently modernised Viale Ciro Menotti plant.

The site dedicated to customers (www.owners.maserati.com) will, over the next few months, follow up with more Quattroporte news, exclusive photos and specials.

The photos will also be published on the new www.maseratiquattroporte.com site. Here, over the coming months, we will reveal all the secrets of the new vehicle.

MASERATI QUATTROPORTE - MODENA 20/06/2003

These are the first official photographs of the new Quattroporte, Maserati’s flagship model due to be unveiled at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show on September 9 2003.

This car represents a new interpretation of the high performance Italian luxury saloon, a segment created by Maserati with the first Quattroporte in 1963.

Pininfarina’s masterful styling is matched by a powerful V8 engine producing some 400 bhp, an extraordinarly spacious cabin, and the possibility of personalising the car right down to the smallest detail.

The car’s dimensions are length 5052 mm, width 1895 mm, height 1438 mm and wheelbase 3064 mm.
