Model history:

The first Maserati Quattroporte was introduced in 1963 and was one of the fastest production sedans in the world with a top speed of 220 km/h. The Quattroporte II introduced in 1974 - of which only a handful were built - was followed in 1979 by the production of a third Quattroporte series, which was to build on the success of the first Quattroporte under the new Maserati owner De Tomaso. Initially, the Quattroporte III was equipped with a 4.2-liter eight-cylinder, later there was a 4.9-liter eight-cylinder. Almost 2,100 copies of the Maserati Quattroporte III were built until 1986, only in 1994 the successor "Quattroporte IV" came on the market.
