Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. That’s the case with the sportiest, fastest, highest-quality, and all-around best-ever Quattroporte.

Maserati’s elegant four-door has been a favorite since its introduction, but we wanted more power, a more appropriate transmission than the jerky old DuoSelect, and sportier tuning. These facets converge in the Sport GT S. There are many detail improvements, but the short of it combines the GranTurismo S coupe’s 433-horsepower, 4.7-liter V-8, a six-speed automatic transmission, 20-inch rolling stock, and edgier suspension, in the big Maser sedan. Think Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG versus S550. The GT S also benefits from last year’s mild restyling, plus updated electronics and infotainment.

Stiffer springs, revised suspension uprights, a lower ride height (down 15 mm front, 10 rear) plus the big rubber mean the GT S handles even more crisply than previous QPs. Maser mounts its engines low in the chassis and fully behind the front axle, helping the front end bite and stay true. The steering communicates well, and the car’s body motions are always controlled. This Maser’s ride/handing balance is on the sporty side of luxurious, and its high-speed stability is faultless. The only unmatched element is braking, which doesn’t provide the pedal feedback or the immediate stopping power expected, given the rest of the driver inputs.
