According to Marc Reilly of MR Car Design the company didn't want to change the acclaimed and award-winning lines of the Quattroporte which is now coming to the end of its production life after almost a decade - the much anticipated next-generation model will break cover later this year.

MR Car Design, which also tunes an array of sports models including VW's Golf and Scirocco, claims to have added an extra 30 hp to the pre-facelift Quattroporte fitted with the 4.2-litre V8 engine through a remap of the ECU software which brings power up to 430 hp. Peak torque now stands at a claimed 480 Nm while a pressure-optimised stainless steel exhaust system with four tailpipes that are 76 millimeters in diameter each matches the increased power output.

Visually, the tuning firm has used a black base car and tinted the windows to create a matching effect. Further effect is added to the luxury sedan by the incorporation of 9x22 inch Vossen rims at the front which are fitted with Pirelli PZero tyres in size 245/30R22 and 10.5x22 inch wheels at the rear axle shod with 295/25R22 tyres as well as fifteen millimeter spacers at the rear axle which, as well as an improved visual experience, MR Car Design believes improves the car's stability. Equipping the Quattroporte finally with H&R springs lowers the car by 20 to 30 mm.
