Spy Photos: Maserati Quattroporte-based Coupe

The Emperor · 07-21-2006, 02:22 AM

The launch of the new coupe is scheduled for next year at the Geneva Motor Show, also a convertible is in the pipeline. The coupe’s styling is again done by design house Pininfarina. Most likely it will use the same engine as in the sedan, a 4.2 litre V8 producing 400 HP, however, it will be upgraded to 4.5 litres delivering approximately 500 HP.

I only hope that they will entirely change those awful looking headlights and then my friends we'll have a real jewel from Italy.

PS: If you want to tell me we already have a jewel from Italy and with that you mean Ferrari, don't even think about it, i don't want to hear anything about those Matchbox toys.

Quattroporte coupe?? Seems like CLS is getting a new competitor!

OMG, it is beautiful and i hope they do keep those headlights. So will it be named DUOPORTE?

Don't tell me you like 'em! C'mon, man, that's the worst part of the car, and it's quite old i'd say...

I agree that it looks a little too plain.

But in real life it plays a small part in a big orchestrated design that's really beautiful.

It will look as good as its four door sibling but just like the flyring spur it will already be old at launch since it doesn't bring any new design to the table. On the other hand Fiat aren't as wealthy as MB enabling them to manufacture a coupe which looks totally different than its sedan sibling.

Not exciting too me.

Probably the last coupe on my list, if i was looking for a coupe, and was too make a list of coupes to choose from.

That is true ..but I have the feeling this is probably in response to customer demand.
