S Overview:
Maserati Quattroporte (S). With 490 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1990 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is excellent (0–100 km/h in 5.4 s). The top speed reaches 280 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Maserati Quattroporte S generation was not tested by Euro NCAP. However, as a luxury sedan of its era, it would have featured a robust chassis, multiple airbags, and advanced braking systems for occupant protection.
4.7 (430 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 delivers exhilarating performance, launching the large sedan from 0-100 km/h in a swift 5.4 seconds. Its 430 Hp and 490 Nm of torque provide strong acceleration and a thrilling top end, accompanied by a magnificent exhaust note.
Fuel Economy
As expected for a large, naturally aspirated V8 luxury sedan, fuel economy is a significant drawback. A combined consumption of 15.71 l/100 km (approximately 15 MPG US) means frequent fuel stops and higher running costs.
