About the Maserati Quattroporte V
The fifth-generation Maserati Quattroporte, designed by Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, marked a triumphant return to form for the Trident brand. It is famously powered by the 'F136' V8 engine developed in collaboration with Ferrari, featuring a dry-sump lubrication system and a sonorous exhaust note. The 2006 model primarily features the DuoSelect automated manual transaxle, which provides a rear-biased weight distribution for exceptional handling but is known for its aggressive, jerky shifts in automatic mode. As a collector's prospect, it offers supercar-adjacent performance and hand-crafted Italian luxury at a fraction of its original cost, though maintenance requirements remain high.
