Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S to Debut in Detroit

I've seen the facelift twice now. It's the world's most handsome four door car after the Arnage. Beauty perfected.

the new rims look amazing

What a beauty it is! She is one gorgeous machine indeed & this color is simply awesome!

MASERATI QUATROPORTE SPORT GT S? that is one long name, what's next?
maserati quatroporte sport GT S R-version?

beside the really long name, the car looks great.

simply gorgeous
wonder how deep is the exhaust's note

The name is too long. So there'll be a Sport GT and a Sport GT S? Might as well make it the Sport GT and that's that?

Aside from its horrendous fuel consumption I think it makes a great sound. My neighbour's Granturismo S wakes me up in the morning and I think this SGTS is gonna do the same.

Well here she is:

I'm not feeling the body kit treatment on this one. Jaguar does a much better job with their performance version. Therefore I prefer the standard version as the exhaust tips are the worst aspect of this car.

QP still lokks sexy as ever
