The Fastest Quattroporte Ever – The top-tier Quattroporte GTS comes with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, producing 530 hp and 710 Nm (524 lb-ft) of torque, allowing it to reach a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph), making it the fastest Quattroporte ever made.
Built with Ferrari Power – The V6 and V8 engines in the Quattroporte VI were developed in collaboration with Ferrari, making it one of the last sedans to feature Ferrari-built powertrains.
First Quattroporte with All-Wheel Drive – The Quattroporte S Q4 introduced an all-wheel-drive system (Q4 AWD) for the first time in the model’s history, enhancing traction and performance in various driving conditions.
Longer and More Luxurious than Ever – The M156 generation is larger than previous models, with a wheelbase of 3,171 mm (124.8 inches), providing more rear legroom and a focus on luxury for rear-seat passengers.
Hand-Assembled Interior – The cabin is built with high-end materials like Poltrona Frau leather, genuine wood, carbon fiber, and Alcantara, making each interior a handcrafted work of art.
Active Sound System for a Signature Exhaust Note – Maserati engineered a special active exhaust system, ensuring that even the V6 models retain the brand’s signature deep, throaty exhaust note.
ZF 8-Speed Automatic Transmission – The Quattroporte VI uses the ZF 8HP automatic gearbox, which offers smooth shifting for luxury driving while also being responsive in sport mode for spirited performance.
Multiple Driving Modes – It features several driving modes, including Normal, Sport, I.C.E (Increased Control & Efficiency), and Corsa (only in the GTS), adjusting throttle response, suspension, and exhaust sound for different driving styles.
Advanced Adaptive Suspension – The Skyhook adaptive suspension system adjusts damping settings in real time, providing a balance between comfort and sporty handling.
Updated in 2016 and 2020 – The 2016 facelift introduced a redesigned front grille with active shutters for better aerodynamics, while the 2020 update added a larger infotainment screen (10.1 inches) with improved connectivity and driver assistance features.

The sixth-gen Quattroporte blends Italian luxury with Ferrari-derived power, offering a V6 twin-turbo or V8 in a sleek sedan body. While depreciation hit hard, low-mileage GTS and Trofeo models are now stabilizing as future classics.
