Under the bonnet, as well as the 4. Created for those in search of a more dynamic version of the GranTurismo already on the market, the GranTurismo S, fitted with a 4. The model presented in combines the performance of the 4.

Five years after the launch, the new MY09 version was the outcome of a thorough renewal project, in terms of both styling and engineering. The car with wet sump 4. This car features the 4. With the Quattroporte S luxury reaches new heights. The modifications to the chassis, gearbox and exhaust system maximised handling and performance, for even greater enjoyment at the wheel. The front and rear light assembles are both of LED type, further underlining the Quattroporte's dynamic character.

External lights The Quattroporte MY09 is fitted with new lighting systems at both front and rear. The front light assemblies now feature beam regulation, a solution similar to that used on the GranTurismo self-adapting headlamps.

The interior of the new Maserati Quattroporte delivers an even higher level of comfort thanks to significant changes to the driving seat ergonomics, involving the new seat shape, the use of the multifunction steering wheel with racing grip, the controls closer together on the central console, the new graphics of the instrument panel, and a small storage compartment in the central tunnel.

Quality of life in the rear seats is high, with excellent noise insulation and no vibrations. The new Quattroporte offers great flexibility in rear seat setup thanks to a large number of optionals, such as independent electric adjustment: the reach adjustment 10 cm and separate tilt setting allow each occupant to find the position they like best, and travel in complete comfort.

Another rear seat optional is heating, which also includes ventilation and massage. The 4. The Transaxle system is used for engine and gearbox, the leading-edge of Maserati technology and a feature only used on the highest-performing cars.

The braking system, developed in association with Brembo, guarantees constant, impeccable performance thanks to the Dual Cast technology. As on the GranTurismo S, the Brembo braking system with front calipers with six pistons delivers even higher performance thanks to the dual-cast technology, where cast iron and aluminium are used together to offer constant performance also under extreme thermal stress. Passenger comfort is further enhanced by the provision as standard of the Skyhook system, with automatic, continual damper adjustment.

The basic functional principles are unchanged from the previous Motronic ME7 version of the system. The addition of a number of components to supervise engine management has not involved any changes to their operating principles, which are still the same. The most obvious difference concerns the engine ECU. The casing protects the unit from heat and any brake fluid leaks. These new hydraulic VVT actuators with operating range increased to 60 degrees provide smoother idling and higher torque at low rpm.

The operating principle is the same as for the 50 degree actuators used previously. The fact that there is no filter on the debimeter allows the air flow to circulate through the engine more freely.

This requires a specific engine management system setup similar to that of the GranTurismo S. These valves are opened and closed by selecting Sport or Normal mode. GranTurismo range cars produced in may have traditional or LRD air bags. The Low Risk Deployment module is a technical innovation of major importance for passenger safety. In all types of frontal impact, it offers the occupants of the front seat unbeatable protection, regardless of age or stature: both the smallest children, travelling in suitable child seats facing the rear of the car, and adults.

The sides are shaped to hold the shoulders, reducing the pressure on the head and chest. The air bag has been completely restyled to ensure that its volume, shape, characteristics and deployment comply with the most severe passenger protection standards without having to adopt the complex advanced weight sensor AWS system on the markets where this system is required. The new generation air bags are also more attractive. Electrical systems and functions Restyling of Florence diagram of Quattroporte 4.

General information range: The GranCabrio, the third tine of the Maserati Trident, joined the range in The GranCabrio, launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September , completed the Maserati range, with three separate families of models: Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio - in other words: saloon, coupe and convertible. The GranCabrio is the first Maserati convertible to seat four in comfort.

A major step forward in engine management was achieved by introducing the Bosch Motronic ME9. The new INA valve timing control devices went into production on the entire range of engines 4. This Maserati is different from all those which went before it.

The name, GranCabrio, recalls the famous Maserati tradition and experience, while also linking the new car to the GranTurismo concept and re-evoking the GranSport cars of the past. At the same time, the name underlines how much this car differs from all previous models. This four-seater convertible is the natural completion of the Maserati range: customers in search of outstanding performance combined with luxury and genuine Italian style can now choose between a four-door saloon, a genuine GranTurismo coupe and the pleasure of driving with the wind in their hair in an elegant convertible.

It shares the same platform and the wheelbase is identical to that of its twin model. Under the bonnet there is the same wet sump 4. The Maserati GranCabrio is equipped with six-speed ZF automatic transmission and a hydraulic torque converter that guarantees smooth gear shifts, while also maintaining the characteristics of the sporty V8 engine.

It is fitted with Skyhook electronic suspension control system as standard. This system features dampers with aluminium body with constant adjustment of the damping effect. With the top on, the non-existent rear upright is simulated by the elegant forwardsloping design, which gives the GranCabrio the look of an elegant coupe. Once the top is down, the Maserati GranCabrio is transformed into a stunning convertible, a paragon of feline power and grace. One particularly attractive touch is the continuous chromed profile which runs around the edge of the cabin and incorporates the third brake light.

The spoiler and rear cone both help to generate the highest possible downforce. Interior The Maserati GranCabrio is the only true convertible in its class capable of seating four adults in comfort, in an elegant, luxurious interior.

The amount of space in the cabin is far above average, and assures outstanding comfort even for rear seat passengers.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail are also clear in the chromed rings around the dashboard buttons and steering wheel, not to mention the Alcantara finishes on the area of the gear shift panels on the steering wheel.

The on-board comfort level is also increased by the canvas soft-top, in three layers for excellent soundproofing. With the top down and only two passengers on board, air flows through the interior can be minimised with the aid of the windstop, specially designed for the GranCabrio available on request.
