Buyers of the Maserati Quattroporte are aware of the reputation of the car they are purchasing. The Quattroporte has been one of the premier vehicles of the Maserati line for years. It is considered an institution of a car and the 2008 model is no exception. The Maserati Quattroporte falls into the sedan for the family category. People who purchase the Quattroporte have been doing so for the last few generations in a family. It is a constant that only gets better with age.

Performance

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 configuration has proven to be a successful design for Maserati.

The fuel system for the 2008 Quattroporte is a traditional Bosch ME-7.3.2, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 12 gallons.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Quattroporte has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

The Quattroporte is inches long, inches wide, and inches high. It has a wheelbase of inches. It is able to seat several adults comfortably.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was an industry-low price, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.
