It's probably a good job that Maserati chose to name this model using the Italian word - 'Four-Door' doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Still, at least they could have used the advertising slogan "It does what it says on the tin" - if someone hadn't beaten them to it. That said, a model of this name has been around since 1963, since when it has gone through six generations - although we're mostly interested in the last two of these, which cover 2003-12 and 2013 onwards. Unusually, Maserati offered just one model level for the 2003-08 version, which featured a choice of an automated manual gearbox, which was marketed as DuoSelect, or a six-speed automatic. The engine was a 4.2-litre V8 lifted from the Maserati Coupe, but with its power output lifted to 395bhp.
Maserati announced that during 2006, it passed the landmark of 5,000 Quattroportes built in a single year. By this time, it was offering two trim levels, Executive GT and Sport GT. As the names suggest, the former was geared towards comfort and luxury, and the latter had a series of performance upgrades, including a reconfigured transmission for faster gear changes. A facelift in 2008 saw S and GTS models introduced, featuring a 4.7-litre V8 engine, tweaked to produce 424 and 434bhp respectively. A handful of special editions have followed. European sales of the Quattroporte peaked at nearly 1,600 in 2007, and in the 10 years between 2003 and 2012, 7,600 were sold in all.
The next-generation model was introduced in 2013, and was substantially larger than its predecessor in an effort to further distinguish it from its little sister, the Ghibli. While it was designed in-house at Fiat's central studio, it was overseen by former Pininfarina designer Lorenzo Ramaciotti. It comes with a choice of 3.0- and 3.8-litre petrol and 3.0-litre diesel engines and is built at a dedicated factory which was once the home of the Bertone styling house. All engines are bolted to a ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic gearbox, with four-wheel drive available on the V6 in left-hand drive markets only. European sales were just over 4,000 in total between 2013 and 2019 - so this has always been a niche model - but that means it has a small but loyal base of owners.
