The inauguration of Rossocorsa Motors in Costa Rica, Maserati's latest South American dealership, took place recently at a prestigious evening ceremony attended by invited guests.

Among the 500 distinguished guests were HE Gioacchino Carlo Trizzino, the Ambassador of Italy in Costa Rica, Nancy Soto, Miss Costa Rica 2004, and Costa Rica’s Minister of Transport, and the Chief of Police.

The elegant design and luxurious interior of the Maserati Quattroporte were much admired by everyone present.

Clothed in an elegantly-designed Pininfarina body, the new saloon is a modern take on the original Maserati Quattroporte concept of marrying genuine sportiness with space and comfort in a typically sophisticated Trident marque package.

The Maserati Quattroporte offers today what the first Frua-designed Quattroporte surprised clients with in 1963, the inimitable Trident style, a sophisticated interior awash with full-grain leather and luxury woods, plus a spirited temperament its elegantly understated exterior doesn’t even hint at.

Powered by a 4.2-litre, 303kW, V8 engine, the new Maserati hits a top speed of 275km/h, and is expected to a achieve strong uptake in South America as it continues to be rolled out rapidly across the region.

Rossocorsa Motors will be managed by Maserati’s importer in Venezuela, Maranello Motorsport C.A.
