Looking for Maserati Quattroporte™ Owners Manual? |
|||||||||||
Since its introduction, the Quattroporte (the name means "four doors" in Italian) has offered what it calls the DuoSelect paddle-shift automated clutch manual transmission similar to those found in F1 race cars. But the DuoSelect's automatic mode tends to shift unevenly in traffic and its operation is a bit unorthodox. To rectify the situation, Maserati has introduced a six-speed automatic that offers crisp response and fast, smooth shifts that place it among the world's best.The Maserati Quattroporte, Sport GT and Executive GT arrive with hefty price tags, though, and they don't offer the same straight-line punch as some of their full-size European or Japanese luxury sedan competitors. Yet the Quattroporte is not only a great choice for driving enthusiasts, it's also the more artful choice, with stunning styling by Pininfarina and an interior that's made to order. While its German rivals perform with businesslike efficiency, the Quattroporte is certainly the more passionate expression of "four door" for those so inclined.The Maserati Quattroporte is powered by a 400-horsepower 4.2-liter V8 engine attached to either a traditional six-speed automatic transmission or a DuoSelect automated-clutch five-speed manual. The DuoSelect can shift automatically or by the driver via paddle shifters, and offers lightning-quick gearchanges and perfectly matches revs when downshifting. Although DuoSelect will appeal to performance-oriented drivers looking for something different, the excellent automatic transmission should better suit American tastes.While the fully automatic transmission makes the Maserati Quattroporte a bit less sporty, its more familiar gear-selection procedure and crisp, predictable shifts are just right for the American luxury-car buyer. Regardless of transmission, the Quattroporte is responsive and very well-balanced, changing direction swiftly and easily like a much smaller car while offering a smooth, supple ride comparable to other full-size luxury cars. |
