Built in 1997, this lovely Maserati Quattroporte is an exceptionally rare, high performance luxury sedan with unmarked blue metallic coachwork and an exceptional interior trimmed in grey leather hides.

Having travelled just 39.000 kilometres from new and serviced by Modena Maserati & Ferrari of Geneva, this Quattroporte is in excellent mechanical condition, having had in excess of 20.000 Swiss Francs spent in recent times.

In 2008 the cooling system was reconditioned, along with the replacement of a new exhaust system. Available at a fraction of the price being asked for the latest fifth generation Quattroportes, this Maserati is to be sold currently registered Switzerland and a roadworthy certificate will be supplied after sale.

The original Quattroporte from Maserati was an Italian super saloon, launched in 1963 and became renowned as one of the fastest, most luxurious four-door cars in the world.

In 1994, Maserati launched the fourth generation Quattroporte with discreetly elegant styling by Marcello Gandini, designer of classics like the Lamborghini Miura, with a slippery shape of just 0.31cd.

The Quattroporte was powered by the all-alloy 2.8-litre V6 with quad cams, four-valves-per-cylinder and twin IHI turbochargers. Producing 284 bhp, the Maserati was exceptionally rapid and could reach 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds on the way to a top speed of 260 km/h.

The fully independent suspension featured four-mode electronically adjustable dampers and ABS braking was standard with a ZF four-speed automatic transmission being optional.

Inside, the Quattroporte was characteristically sumptuous, with soft leather upholstery, briarwood and the trademark clock mounted in the centre of the dash. There was a full complement of luxury features, including electric seats, windows and air conditioning.

The Quattroporte remained in production until 2000.
