Maserati had a mini Quattroporte event at the showroom for the launch. They displayed the Quattroporte V together with the Quattroporte III and IV. Enjoy the pictures...


Quattroporte IV, Quattroporte V and Quattroporte III

Quattroporte III (1979-1990)


How cool is this! An auto box with seat adjustment and lots more.

The doors handles of the yesteryear were so sublime - this was like a latch, and I love it.

The seats looked really comfortable.

Luxurious, no?

Twin pipes and a classic wide-body stance.

A very typical front.

Quattroporte IV (1994-2000)

I must say, this is a very disappointing car. It seemed as if it was a downgrade from the III; interior materials weren't as good, it felt really conventional and as far as I can remember, it used Citroen's pneumatic suspension which was very problematic.


A very plain interior, lacks much of the sense of occasion from the III.

Rear legroom's just decent.

See what I mean with a downgrade? These door handles look pathetic...

First reminded me of an Alfa.

IV is my fav..its just so hot

V's my favourite, then III and then IV. The QP IV just felt and looked like quite a departure from the V and IV. For example, the trademark Maser trident on the C-pillar is in both the QP V and QP III but not in the QP IV. Also, the blue/red gauges in the V were carried from the III but somehow lost in transition in the IV.

One thing I like about the IV though are those seats - they're so supple and plush, just like armchairs.

The older Quattroporte's were so friggin classy and gorgeous! Especially the IV. Beautiful cannot describe that car. I was lusting for that baby during the 1990s. Just beautiful, beautiful!
