Beautiful, devastatingly quick and with four luxurious seats, it does just about everything, and does it well.
Our only niggle with the Quattroporte - and it's not even a biggie - is the clunky semi-automatic paddle-shift gearbox. It's a bit hesitant and agricultural, especially in auto mode.So Maserati's decision to equip the Quattroporte with a proper six-speed auto 'box is good news. The all-new transmission system promises to smooth up gear changes and, thanks to a torque converter, boost low-rev pick-up without limiting power.
We wouldn't have said no to a nice manual 'box, but we're old-school like that.
The Quattroporte Automatic is set to show off its new transmission at the Detroit motor show in January and goes on sale soon after.
