Executive GT and Sport GT Models Upgrade Packages Enhance Exotic Italian Sport Sedan
According to countless insider reports, model year 2006 is supposed to be when Maserati will unveil the successors to its 4200 GT Coupe and
Spyder. Model year 2006 is also supposed to be the year when Maserati is to show a production-ready version of its crossover-cum-SUV. It should also be when the Quattroporte is to receive an update and, along with that, a significantly more powerful V12. But such is not the case. As it turns out, the recent separation of Maserati from Ferrari and alignment with Alfa Romeo and Fiat has put all such plans well out of whack, with some projects potentially canceled and others merely on the backburner.
But an automaker couldn't just show up to the Frankfurt's IAA, one of the world's largest and most important automotive exhibitions, without anything special to offer, especially if you are Maserati, one of the world's finest exotic carmakers. As such, the Trident brand showed two special
variants of its übersedan, the Quattroporte, which coincidentally made its world debut at Frankfurt two years ago. The two new packages, called Executive GT and Sport GT, add a higher level of personalized customization and distinguishing touches to the only hand-crafted full-size Italian sedan on the market.
The first of the two packages, the Executive GT, embellishes the Quattroporte's sumptuous interior and luxurious appointments. In addition to the lavishly equipped standard model, finished in rich Polrona Frau leather and accented with briarwood, mahogany or rosewood, the Executive GT introduces new colours, materials and finishes to the Quattroporte range. On the outside, it is distinguished by ball-polished 19-inch 9-spoke light alloy wheels, 'Executive GT' badging on the B-pillar, as well as chrome appliqué for the front mesh and side grilles.
