Piero Evangelisti, from daily newspaper Il Giornale, revs up his review after the press testing session in Salzburg. The article relates the Quattroporte story by quoting the rising sales figures and then goes on to announce the modifications, from the introduction of the 4.7 litre V8 engine to the reduction in emissions.
On a technical front, the quality of the brakes and transmission is underlined: “The braking is precise and safe, even in emergencies, thanks to the callipers and discs developed by Brembo; the collaboration of Maserati and ZF produced the six-speed automatic transmission controlled via ergonomic steering wheel paddles”.

Evangelisti appreciates the “presence of the car’s form with the front and rear light clusters standing out for their advanced LED technology. Prestigious woods and Poltrona Frau leather adorn the interior with the Bose Multimedia System providing the infotainment”. A photo of the Maserati Quattroporte S rounds off the article.
