The US magazine's website dedicated a full five pages to the Maserati berlina. The feature previews the article that will appear in the traditional, paper version of the magazine where the Quattroporte Sport GT S, along with the Bentley Flying Spur and Jaguar XFR, is considered one of the best cars in its category. It is able to "excite with its design, performance and quality".

“The Maserati Quattroporte, especially in the Sport GT S version, is a perfect blend of work of art and pure four-seater sportscar. The package is topped off with a stunning engine roar".

The article continues its lavish appraisal: "like a scantily dressed supermodel on her day off, the Modenese beauty swings its hips as it glides through the crowds. Even before pushing the Sport button, the 4.7 litre V8 reaches a pitch that even Pavarotti would have struggled to match".

Turning to the technical side, positive views were also expressed about the MC Shift gearbox: "The Maserati aims to thrill and involve the driver, challenge, inspire and seduce him. To do this, it has been fitted with a sporty engine, chassis and interior".

The Automobile Magazine article concludes: "The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S boasts the most captivating sound, has the most desirable engine, and attracts twice as many admiring looks as its rivals; it has bags of charisma and stirs more living dreams than Pamela Anderson".
