First Drive: 2009 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S
2009 Maserati Quattrporte Sport GT S - First Drive - Latest News, Features, and Reviews - Automobile Magazine
We dare anyone who is thinking about an Audi S8 or a Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG to give the 2009 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S a chance. You'll be hooked, just like we are.

Maserati is on a roll. 2008 was the company's best year ever, with a rather impressive 8586 sales worldwide. North America sucked up 2666 of those deliveries, a 1.1% increase compared to 2007. That's pretty extraordinary considering the economic collapse that came about during latter part of 2008. The Quattroporte sedan made up 3383 of the total 2008 worldwide sales, bumping the total number of fifth-generation four-doors sold over the 15,000 mark. To fully appreciate that last number, you have to remember that Maserati only sold 53 of the third-generation 1987-1990 Quattroporte and 825 of the 1998-2002 fourth-generation model.
