Maserati Quattroporte 4.2 V8 road test
Buyers of seriously fast and sporty 4-door saloons are spoilt for choice. Audi, AMG Mercedes, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac and Jaguar can all provide, with Aston Martin and Porsche soon to join the fray. The only candidate from Italy is the Maserati Quattroporte, but it’s a highly worthy contender.

Let’s start here at the bottom line; the ‘basic’ 4.2 model costs £77,330 otr, (£83,200 for the S, £89,860 for the Sport GT S). On top of that you’ll have to consider fuel consumption at 19.2mpg combined, CO2 emissions at 340g/km and the top group 20 insurance rating. So it’s not cheap to buy or to run. The very first Quattroporte was launched way back in 1963, and its 4.2-litres and 280bhp was enough to make it the Fastest Saloon in the World. Today’s Quattroporte can’t quite lay claim to that title, but it’s still a fabulously desirable car.
