First Impressions of the Maserati Quattroporte for 2006
In 2006 Maserati released the Quattroporte Sport GT to the car-buying market. The Quattroporte came in two configurations: Sport GT and Executive GT. The Sport GT configuration is powered by the 4.2-liter eight-cylinder engine, which makes 18 highway miles and 12 city. The Quattroporte competes in the Sedan market segment, in direct competition with Kia.
Maserati Quattroporte Engine Specs
The Quattroporte Sport GT is equipped with a Maserati/Ferrari 4.2 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a Ferrari 6-speed Transaxle. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Sedan arena.
The Quattroporte uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Fuel is handled for the Quattroporte is a Bosch ME-7.3.2 design, running on gasoline fuel. The gasoline is managed by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 23.80-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.
Vehicle Statistics
The Quattroporte is 198.90 inches long, 74.60 inches wide, and 56.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 120.60 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
The standard warranty period for the Quattroporte is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.
The listed retail price in 2006 (MSRP) was $115,900, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.
Fuel Efficiency
The Quattroporte Sport GT received a miles-per-gallon rating of twelve in-city driving and eighteen when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was exceptional.
The vehicle is available in Custom Exterior Color.
We Think...
The 2005 model began the promise of the Maserati Quattroporte. The 2006 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Maserati hopes that the Quattroporte Sport GT will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
