2005 Maserati Quattroporte 2dr Conv SE

2005 Maserati Quattroporte For Sale. If youâ??re looking for a car with Italian refinement and comfort married to nearly one hundred years of performance engineering look no further. Maserati has had its ups and downs over the decades but has come out better than ever. Being owned by Ferrari defiantly has its advantages the biggest being the six Duo Select transmission. This was based on the Ferrari semi-automatic transmission which utilizes a transaxle style rear mounted assembly with the clutch mounted to the rear of the engine. It can be set to automatic for simple cruising or switched to manual for paddle shift control to tear down the road. This setup allows the Quattroporte to have a weight distribution of 47% front and 53% rear by having the transmission at the rear and the engine moved back past the front axle keeping this car planted to the road when turning aggressively. For power this car is no slouch, under the hood is a 4.2L light alloy V-8 engine that rated from the factory with 400HP and 330TQ equipped with a dry sump oiling system and oil cooler. The car rides on the Sky Hook independent suspension system and has four wheel ABS disc brakes, ASR traction control and MSP stability control. Not only does this car ride and go with the best of them it also has the looks to match. The Quattroporte was designed by legendary coach builder and design house Pininfarina who has had a hand in the designs of Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Nash, Cadillac, Peugeot, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce and Ferrari most notably the Enzo. The experience shows with Quattroporteâ??s great lines and a georges interior comprised of two tone leather seats and trim and more creature comforts than most homes such as 14-way adjustable seats, multi-media system with CD player, SAT-navigation, 9-speaker Bose sound system, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, CD changer, heated front seats, power rear seats, power head rests, paddle shifters and much more.
