Maserati presented its Granturismo S Automatica at the Geneva show, along with its full range of vehicles, though the novelty stole the show. The Granturismo S Automatica show model was equipped with a V8, 4.7 litre engine at 440hp and the six-speed ZF transmission.

Included is electronic Skyhook suspension, new side airbags, 20-inch Trident wheels and Bluetooth connectivity. Seen at the show was also the Quattroporte Sport GT S, equipped with the same engine, sports base, sports exhaust and new aerodynamics.

Maserati also marked the 70th anniversary of the historic Indianapolis victory in 1939, with the “Boyle Special” and its Italian engine. To future aims, however, Maserati is looking to reduce consumption and improve fuel efficiency over the next five years (since 2005 fuel consumption has already decreased by 20 percent).

Tridente has presented today the first official shots of the restyled Maserati Quattroporte. The large sedan from Modena has been one of the most successful models in the history of the brand, with 15,000 units sold in five years. While they’ve kept it traditional, a first glance shows off some of the improvements in the model.

The modifications are mostly at the front and on the nose of the car with a new, more agressive grill, LED lights and more aerodynamic mirrors.

The new S version is arriving to broaden the range, and will be equipped with the 4.7 V8 from the recent GranTurismo S. The eight cylinders give out 430 hp, ten less than the coupè, 30 more than the 400 supplied by the 4.2 V8. Both engines have the new automatic ZF transmission, a six-speed job with steering wheel paddles.

The lines that we like so much haven’t changed, and certainly it’s excellence has few equals in the entire list. And so the much awaited restyling of the Maserati Quattroporte will be more a marginal refreshment, confined to details: it was going to be risky to change the look designed by Pininfarina.

As seen by these photos, taken in the factory at Modena, the adjustments have been limited to the headlights, redesigned and ready to take on LED, and the fender. We’ll have to be content with the alloy wheels for the moment though. Not that this is a defect…

After having announced the possible presence of two prototypes at the next “Concorso d’Eleganza” at the Villa d’Este, Lake Como, Carrozzeria Touring has sent out the first images of the Maserati Quattroporte Bellaggio Fastback: an experiment in style.

There’s he who says hatchback and he who says fastback - a question of your point of view. And of the emblem as the Bellagio mixes the front shape of the Quattroporte with an expanded and sporty rear, characterised by a tear drop-shaped window: to which one could even be inspired to give the definition of Station Wagon or, more elegantly, “shooting brake”.

We’re waiting for additional photos, particularly of the rear door, without forgetting about the Superleggera, the other T-signed proposal expected at the show.
