Maserati’s 2009 Quattoporte Sport GT S is easily the fastest and sportiest ever. This elegant four-door has been a favorite since its introduction and provides more power and a more appropriate transmission than the unsteady old DuoSelect. There are many detail improvements, but in short it combines the GranTurismo S coupe’s 433-horsepower, 4.7-liter V-8, a six-speed automatic transmission, 20-inch rolling stock, and edgier suspension, in the big Maser sedan. The GT S also benefits from last year’s modest restyling, plus updated electronics. The engine’s intake groan and blasting exhaust alone make the Sport GT S a more moving ride than many other luxury sport sedans.
The steering conveys well and the car’s moves are well controlled. This Maserati’s ride/handing balance is on the sporty side of opulence and its high-speed stability is impeccable. The only unmatched element is braking, which doesn’t offer the pedal feedback or the quick stopping power expected. If a Ferrari or Porsche happen to be your sports car of choice, then the Quattroporte Sport GT S may be the sedan you want in your other parking spot.
