As previously mentioned an exclusive Royale edition may be offered, sporting a variation of the Ferrari Enzo's 650-hp V12, plus upgraded interior trim and possibly a longer wheelbase for more limousine-like rear accommodations. If the Royale does appear, it will most likely follow company tradition by following the stock sedan by at least a year.

While the Royale will be stratospherically priced, the regular Quattroporte will no doubt be more expensive than the average luxury sedan as well. Yet its stunning design, superb quality and dynamic performance will put it in a class of few, making the lofty sticker well worth it for Maserati's discerning clientele.
