Maserati Quattroporte Evo: You Know You Want To - Pistonheads.com
Especially when a Quattroporte with a very similar twin-turbo V8 engine is £13,000. And that's for an immaculate low mileage car too, not some recently discovered moss-ridden 'project'. Crucially this car is a Quattroporte IV Evoluzione, the Evo tag reflecting Ferrari's input after taking control of Maserati in 1997. But this wasn't just a case of signing a couple of contracts and business continuing as usual - oh no. Ferrari... Yes, it's dated and the overhangs are quite ungainly but, to these eyes, there's something really charming about this QP. It's quite compact and modest, yet still recognisable as a Maserati. To matters we can all agree on. The fourth-generation Quattroporte is a very rare car but, even still, you're unlikely to find a better example than this. Owned "for a number of years" by a Maserati Club member, it has only covered 41,000 miles in 15 years and understandably looks very fresh because of it. The colour combo is lovely and, as you might expect, the service record is impeccable. Here a more knowledgeable PHer can fill us in on how reliable a QP really is. Given this car is being pitched as a YKYWT, we probably should discuss why you wouldn't in a little more detail. Put simply, it's because you might well want other Maseratis instead. Still impossibly pretty, it can also be considered the first model of 21st century Maserati. Source: www.pistonheads.com
