BOSEâ SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM
A system that can offer music reproduction on a par with that of the best concert halls in terms of depth, clarity and sensations.
Based on this objective, Boseâ engineers have designed and produced the Boseâ Surround Sound System, for the new Maserati Quattroporte range, to match and blend in with the car’s acoustics. The system features eleven speakers with integrated 4 x 25 Watt RMS equaliser and a digital audio system, for music reproduction with a greater fidelity than most analogue systems. The system allows for the use of exclusive Boseâ technologies such as AudioPilotâ (to offset background noise) and active electronic equalisation.
7 - MASERATI QUATTROPORTE 4.2 l
The time-proven 90 degree V8 normally aspirated 4,244 cm3 engine remains available on the Quattroporte and is immediately recognisable thanks to its blue cylinder head covers. As soon as you start the engine, you’ll appreciate the low engine noise level as a result of the wet sump lubrication. On the road, the exceptional amount of torque produced by the engine, reaching 460 Nm at 4,750 rpm, together with the acoustic comfort it guarantees, can be surprising.
In fact, the car’s performance sets a new benchmark for luxury saloons:
- Maximum power: 295 kW (400 CV) at 7,000 rpm
- Maximum torque: 460 Nm (332 lbft) at 4,750 rpm
- Top speed: 270 km/h (167 mph)
- Acceleration 0-100 km/h (0-62mph): 5.6 s
The 4.2 litre Quattroporte features new single-rate dampers, optimised for the smoothest and most comfortable ride. Skyhook suspension is available as an optional extra on this model.
The Quattroporte debuts with its new Verde Deep Emerald exterior colour, Sabbia leather, a new look which is even more natural and elegant than the previous Beige version, paired with the new Starwood wood.
The handling pack available as an optional extra on the Quattroporte, is conceived to enhance the car’s sporty character. It includes: 19” V-Style wheels, suspension system with racing set-up, dual-cast front brakes with 360 mm discs, red brake callipers and the Active Shifting system with gearshift paddles on the steering-wheel.
8 – OFFICINE ALFIERI MASERATI CUSTOMISATION PROGRAM
