2015 Maserati Quattroporte Review V6 S - CarAdvice
Being handed the keys to a Maserati for the first time wasn’t just a career milestone, it also brought back vivid memories of my earliest association with the iconic Italian marque. Keen to discover the make and model of this Italian thoroughbred, as well as being overcome with a desperate need to converse with anyone that might understand English, he dropped the little Fiat down a cog and took off in hot pursuit. Turns out, the car he was chasing was a 1970 Maserati Ghibli SS, owned by a US Air Force pilot based in Italy. I know this, because my father caught up with him at a café down the road where he got a good look at the car, as well as an enthusiastic exchange of car and aeroplane stories. At the time it was the fastest Maserati road car ever produced. Back then, the Ghibli was a beautifully sleek coupe with proper supercar proportions, but these days it’s a four-door sports sedan that takes some of its styling cues from the Maserati GranTurismo, as well as its larger sibling, the Maserati... The name Quattroporte translated from Italian literally means “four-doors”, but only the Italians could make such a simple word combination sound so deliciously exotic. Source: www.caradvice.com.au
