Maserati chose the Paris Motor Show as the venue to show off the newest version of its flagship sport sedan, the Quattroporte.

The new Quattroporte is easily distinguished from the past version with new headlights highlighted by LED turn signals, a revised front bumper, a larger grille (similar to that on the Gran Turismo), and updated taillights that also feature LEDs to give them a diamond-like look, especially in the sun. But even with these changes, the Italian styling remains such that the car is unlikely to be mistaken for anything other than a Maserati.

The biggest news about the Quattroporte is the availability of a more powerful ‘S’ version which boasts a Ferrari-built 4.7-liter V8 producing  425 horsepower. The 4.2-liter 400-hp V8 engine in the standard Quattroporte remains unchanged, since it was revised last year. Both engines are built by Ferrari to exact Maserati specifications — the 4.2-liter engine features a blue cylinder-head cover; the 4.7 liter’s head is red.

Inside has also been updated, with surfaces are covered in soft Italian Poltrona Frau leather, offset by a variety of exotic wood choices such as Polished Wengè, Vavona or Black Piano. A new chocolate-brown shade of leather —Marrone Corniola — is introduced for new Quattroporte. Gauges have also been updated to match those found in the GranTurismo.

For in-car entertainment, Bose has teamed with Maserati to create a multi-function media system. With a large, easy-to-read display, the Bose system provides a 40 GB hard drive to store a music library, XM Satellite Radio, a DVD player, Bluetooth connectivity and USB reader function.

The Quattroporte can also be equipped with an Executive GT package that adds power-adjustable rear seats featuring heating, ventilation and massage. Rear side blinds, an Alcantara leather headliner and retractable wooden tables complete the luxurious surroundings.

The new Quattroporte is expected to arrive in Maserati showrooms later this fall.
