Maserati offers sedan with entry-level engine

DUBAI, October 28, 2014

Al Tayer Motors, a leading automobile dealer representing major European and American brands in the UAE, has announced the arrival of a new entry-level engine for Maserati’s flagship luxury sedan, the Quattroporte.

The 3.0-litre twin turbo V6 with 330hp is now available as an addition to the existing range comprising the 530hp V8 Maserati Quattroporte GTS and the 410hp V6 Quattroporte S.

The Quattroporte is produced in Maserati’s state-of-art facility in Grugliasco, Italy and is being offered with a standard three-year/60,000 kilometres service and maintenance package, in addition to a three year warranty. Prices of the car start from Dh379,000 ($10,315), a statement said.

“The Quattroporte combines a quintessentially Italian design and driving experience with the highest level of passenger comfort. It is aimed at automotive enthusiasts who want a distinctive motoring experience,” said Hossam Hosni, general manager, Luxury Auto, Al Tayer Motors.

“Together with a limited period package, which includes complimentary insurance and a zero per cent interest/profit rate for one year, the car offers unrivalled value in the luxury segment for UAE customers.”

The car is also available through Premier Motors’ Maserati showroom in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi, according to the statement.

The Maserati-designed engine is being manufactured by Ferrari in Maranello for the exclusive use of Maserati. With 330hp at 5000 rpm, the V6 of the Quattroporte delivers a powerful drive with a torque of 500 Nm between 1750 rpm and 4500 rpm. It delivers 90 per cent of its 500 Nm of torque from 1600 rpm.

The Quattroporte with 330 hp is fitted with a ZF AT8 - HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission, which contributes to increased comfort, faster gear shifting, reduced fuel consumption and reduced NVH (noise, vibration and harshness).

It is capable of being in five dedicated shift modes: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport and the ICE (Increased Control and Efficiency) mode. The ICE mode, which is designed particularly for increased fuel economy and low grip conditions is also available on all other Quattroporte variants, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
