Enhanced driving thanks to improved engine power
combined with exceptional engine smoothness: That is the
philosophy behind the new Novitec Tridente "Sport"
compressor engine conversion for Maserati's flagship
luxury sedans, the Quattroporte S and Quattroporte Sport
GT S.The specialists of
the German tuning company have adapted a
cogged-belt-driven mechanical charger to fit the
4.7-litre eight-cylinder four-valve-per-cylinder engine.
Maximum boost pressure is limited to 0.35 bar. A
water-to-air intercooler with dedicated water
circulation ensures healthy operating temperatures for
the engine. The Novitec Tridente "Sport" compressor
conversion is rounded out by a custom intake manifold
and larger injectors. Newly calibrated engine
electronics ensure optimal power yield, longevity and
compliance with strict Euro IV emission limits.
After the engine conversion,
which starts at 19,900 euros, the Italian luxury sedan
delivers improved high-end performance figures: Rated
power output of the Quattroporte S jumps from the
standard 430 hp / 318 kW to a claimed 590 hp / 434 kW at
7,300 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque grows from 490 Nm
to a claimed 572 Nm.
In combination with the
Quattroporte's standard six-speed automatic transmission
the Novitec Tridente tuned luxury sedan now delivers
improved driving performance as well: A claimed sprint
time of just 4.6 seconds from standstill to 100 km/h
along with a claimed time of 14.9 seconds to reach 200
km/h are impressive for this class. Just as impressive
is the car’s new top speed of 295 km/h.
To transfer this potential to
the road as safely as possible Novitec Tridente has
developed a custom-tailored tyre/wheel combination for
the Quattroporte. The three-piece alloy wheels with five
double spokes fill out the available space in the wheel
wells. The size 9Jx21 wheels on the front axle are
mounted with Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires in
size 255/30 ZR 21. In the rear size 295/30 ZR 21 tyres
on size 11Jx21 wheels provide optimal traction. The new
wheels play a part in what the tuner hopes will be a
refined sporty yet elegant appearance of the now
upgraded luxury sedan. For added sporty emphasis Novitec
Tridente offers an understated rear spoiler made from
clear-coated carbon fiber.
The Novitec Tridente sport
suspension is specifically calibrated to the 21-inch
high performance tyres. It allows owners of the
Quattroporte to dial-in a setup that suits their
individual preferences. The suspension is continuously
height-adjustable and features multiple settings for
compression and rebound.
Novitec Tridente also offers
numerous options for owners to customise the interior of
the luxury sedan. The options range from a
custom-tailored interior crafted from the finest leather
or Alcantara to a state-of-the-art multimedia equipment
package with TV, Blu-Ray player and high-speed internet
connection on wheels.
