New 2009 Model Maserati Quattroporte & Quattroporte S Photos

Italian luxury carmaker Maserati has released the first official photos of its new, more powerful Maserati Quattroporte sedan. With next generation of Quattroporte due only in 2012, Maserati has wisely developed a mid-lifecycle update to give its five year old sedan a freshed-up look and some serious power jump. New Quattroporte will now be offered in two versions: the standard Quattroporte and the sportier Quattroporte S. Both will utilize the ZF six-speed automatic transmission.

While the standard Maserati Quattroporte is fitted with the same 4.2-litre 400bhp V8 engine as the previous car, the Quattroporte S gets the new 4.7-litre 430bhp V8 from the Alfa 8C and GranTurismo S basket.
