Maserati, the Luxury Brand of the Year, has brought its latest model, the new Maserati Quattroporte fresh from its Paris International Motor Show world debut to star at the Australian International Motor Show, which opens on 9 October 2008.

With more than 46 international awards to its credit and acclaimed as the embodiment of the high performance luxury sedan, the Maserati Quattroporte has already established itself with an enviable reputation. The new Quattroporte, which will debut in Sydney with deliveries starting towards the end of the year, is endowed with a new engine choice with the existing 4.2 litre V8 complemented by a new 4.7 litre V8, lifting power from 295 to 317 kW, as well as a host of technical, luxury and performance refinements that enable it to more than maintain its edge over its rivals.

It is this new 4.7 litre model, the Maserati Quattroporte S that has heralded the arrived of the full range in Australia with its arrival in Sydney for the Australian International Motor Show less than 24 hours after the car official launched in Paris.

Created from the wealth of expertise and performance engineering that could only come from a company which has been at the forefront of motorsport success for more than 90 years, the new Maserati Quattroporte S delivers a level of exclusivity that is unmatched by its rivals.

The standard palette of colours, trims and interior finishes offers a theoretical number of combinations exceeding four million and, with the additional ability to match any colour offered by a prospective customer, the new Maserati Quattroporte is as unique as the person behind the wheel. Full details of the Australian and New Zealand specifications and pricing for the new Maserati Quattroporte will be revealed at the Australian International Motor Show on 9 October 2008.
