maserati quattroporte sport gt s

Called the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, the newest addition to the Quattroporte family is being dubbed "the ultimate expression of Maserati's sportiness in the Quattroporte range." So what does all that ultimate sporty expression get you?
* Around 10 more horses from the 425 HP, 4.7L V-8 from the Quattroporte S through a mapping of the engine
* A six-speed automatic with modified software management, offering what Maserati says are "new features designed to increase driving enjoyment."
* A modified front and rear suspension with single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and a slightly lower ride height
* A sport exhaust system controlled by pneumatic valves, for even more of that stirring engine note
Of course, it wouldn't be a special edition if it didn't have some distinguishing exterior and interior flourishes, and the Quattroporte Sport GT S has several new features to set it apart from its lesser Quattroporte siblings.
The updates include:
* A black grille with concave vertical fins, centered by a Trident logo with red accents -- a cue Maserati says is typical of its sportier models* Maserati's new bi-Xenon headlights featuring 10 LED turn-signal indicators, finished in metallic titanium
* A "shadow line" around the car, created by employing back finish work around the doors, adding body-colored door handles and black twin oval exhaust pipes
* New M-design seats with a mix of perforated Alcantara and leather
* Trim done in Titantex, what Maserati calls a "titanium colored" composite material
