Maserati Has Delivered Its Final Quattroporte
The Maserati Quattroporte (referred to as QP from here on) has been around for more than six decades, but its run has finally come to an end. The automaker recently delivered the last of its long-running four-door sports car to an American enthusiast, calling it the Grand Finale model.
Carrying the company’s last-ever V8 engine, the QP is finished in a deep blue color called Blu Nobile. Maserati installed a carbon fiber body kit and brushed aluminum brake calipers. The interior features wood accents and stitched Maserati trident logos on the headrests, and a commemorative plaque marks the car’s unique place in the automaker’s history.
Under the hood is the star of the show, a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 making 572 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. The engine cover has signatures from all the people who built the car. While it may never be driven to its full potential, the V8 is capable of propelling the sedan from a standstill to 60 mph in just over four seconds.
Maserati also rolled out a one-off MC20 supercar painted in AI Aqua Rainbow. Called Iris, the car features unique contrast stitching and blue interior accents, but unlike the QP, it carries the automaker’s Nettuno V6. Though it doesn’t sound as dramatic at first, the engine makes a whopping 621 horsepower in the car. Both vehicles were delivered to the American, but Maserati did not announce their name.
While it’s sad to see the QP going away, the automaker is expected to roll out an electric version of the car by 2028, along with a Levante SUV with the same treatment. In the meantime, the Ghibli is also going away, leaving the MC20, GranCabrio, GranTurismo, and Grecale.

- Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

- Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
- Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
