The Maserati quattropote model is a four –door vehicle with a few tweaks of cosmetics. It was lastly upgraded in the year two thousand and five model years; the 2011 maserati Quattropote is more stunning than ever. The six years upgrade has greatly improved its features. It has a smooth sculpted roofline which has been tapped into a elegant tail, revealing the main point in the continuous compromised between an elegant sedan and a sporty stance bodywork. The interior design is luxuruios with piped leather seats and a lot of wooden trim which adds more beauty in the interior of the car.
The 2011 quattropote is not as big as the German Sedan, the best rivals are the Jaguars XF and the new Aud A7 .it is more of a four door sporty car with generally poor ride on a rough surface. This discomfort is brought by the design of the seat, because the seats are cramped back. The engine of the 2011 Quattropote perfoms amazingly,. The 4.2-liter Ferrari-derived engine that generates a 400- horsepower gives an excellent wail at its 7500 redline. The engine is offered with a six- speed automatic transmission which gets the best maseratito 60mph in just 5.5 sec. This mark however can be easily heated by a 450-horsepowerQuattropote sport GTS model in just five seconds. This version of the vehicles weighs 4400 pounds only; with this weigh, they have overcome a weight problem thus they can speed very fast. Their transmission is located at what seems a small steering wheel. This transmission is normally offered with a manual shift mode with shifting paddles.
The 2011 Maserati Quattropote has a bit larger brembo brakes which gives it the stopping power of a true supercar. However the interior space is too small, in the sense that, the rear space has very little headroom unlike the front region which enough for the driver and the front passengers. It has a very small cargo space, the cargo region can carry one full-sized suitcase and a couple of soft-sided weekend bags only. Thus cannot accept big and bulky loads, which is a disadvantage to this model. The skyhook air suspension gives it a nimble feeling and though its greatly recommended to take the edge of the brittle ride.
The front and the rear is covered with the head protecting curtains bags and the seats are mounted with side airbags all of standard quality, though no independent crash-test has been done. It has other features such as the great bi-Xenon HID headlamp and standardized stable control and the anti-lock brakes
Owning a Maserati Quattroote is quite expensive, in fact the buyer must have to exercise some patience. Its price is higher than Jaguar XFR and some o its rivals and is produced in orders. Therefore, buyers have to wait for at least four-to six months for their order to be complete.
