The Maserati Quattroporte is a car that is designed to fit its owner perfectly. The typically Italian made-to-measure concept has been applied to Maserati’s flagship in an automotive take on the custom made suit.

Keeping pace with current trends in terms of exclusive materials led to the establishment of the ‘Officine Alfieri Maserati’, reserved for the Quattroporte. The personalisation options are divided into four categories: colour choice, on-board electronics, interior and travel and driving dynamics.

Colour choice

As well as the exterior colour (eleven standard and eight special colours) and interior finish (ten shades of leather), the owner can select from ten dashboard and parcel shelf colours, ten steering wheel colours, thirteen different colours for the stitching, four for the roof lining, six carpet colours and eleven colours for the seat piping. The brake callipers can also be personalised and come in red, silver, titanium, blue and yellow.

Interior and travel

One of the main choices the owner will have to make is about which of the prestigious woods to go for. There is a selection of six: Rosewood, Walnut Briarwood with Bois de Rose inlays, Mahogany with Bois de Rose inlays, Polished Wenge (also available with Bois de Rose inlays) Vavona, Starwood or, alternatively, a Black Piano or Blue Laque interior finish. The Quattroporte’s front and rear seats can be heated; there is the Comfort Pack for the front and/or rear seats with heating, ventilation and massage capability and the roof can be lined in Alcantara (beige, pearl beige, grey and black). Opting for the Luxury Pack means natural Poltrona Frau® leather used for the upper dashboard area, the parcel shelf and a choice of stitching colours. The steering wheel can be chosen in any of the wood trims and leather, or in Piano Black.

On board electronics

Some of the Quattroporte’s on board features will make the car an especially pleasant place to be. These include the Rear Seat Entertainment system (that includes a screen mounted in the centre, and a rear DVD player), an electronically operated sunroof, front parking sensors and electro chromatic wing and internal mirrors.

Sporting dynamism

To emphasise the Quattroporte’s sporty soul, Ball Polished 19” wheel rims are available as an option. Also on offer are 19” run flat tyres with tyre pressure sensors, ‘Active Shifting’ steering wheel-mounted gear change paddles (automatic gearbox only), and seven-spoke 20” rims.

Handling Pack

Available as an option, selecting the Handling Pack results in an even sportier ride. This configuration sees V-style 19” rims fitted and the car’s suspension given a racing tune up. The front brakes benefit from dual cast technology and the disc size is upped to 360 mm. Red callipers and the Active Shifting system, with its steering wheel-mounted paddles, complete the transformation.

Executive Pack

The Executive Pack offers the ultimate in passenger comfort with rear seats that warm, ventilate and massage occupants, climate control that can be controlled from the rear seats, side rear window blinds, Alcantara roof lining and wooden pull down tables.
