The Quattroporte is a four-door luxury sports sedan produced by Italian car manufacturer Maserati. The name translated from Italian literally means “four doors”. The fourth generation Maserati Quattroporte (Tipo AM337) was produced from 1994 to 2001 and was built on an evolved and stretched Biturbo architecture and used twin turbocharged V6 and V8 engines respectively from the Ghibli and Maserati Shamal coupés making this a very quick luxury performance car. The wedge-shaped aerodynamic (0.31 Cd) body with angular rear wheel arches was the work of Marcello Gandini.

The Quattroporte also featured all independent suspension with MacPherson struts upfront and trailing arms in the rear section for improved and optimal handling and comfort. In addition to the handling improvements, weight was reduced by 300kg due to the Quattroporte's underpinnings that it shared with the Biturbo. The interior was designed with comfort in mind and fully upholstered in a combination of Connolly leather and elm burl wood veneer to give it a luxurious feel with the elegant, signature Maserati clock spotted above the climate controls in the centre.
