Inside, wood veneer lines the multi-function steering wheel, while the roofliner is trimmed in soft Alcantara faux suede. To provide additional comfort to rear passengers, the Executive GT model also features a 'Comfort Pack'

which includes ventilated and heated rear seats, as well as aircraft-style folding rear trays finished in either wood or titanium. Further options, such as a DVD entertainment system, are available at extra cost, but the ultimate executive touch comes from the ability to personalize the inside and out with bespoke paint and materials.

aluminum alloy accents, red stitching, alloy pedals, plus a sports steering wheel and upgraded handbrake grip. The details of the Sport GT trim effectively optimize the athletic nature of the Quattroporte's high-revving 400-horsepower 4.2-litre V8.
Where the Executive GT focused mainly on aesthetics and comfort, the Sport GT emphasizes the Quattroporte's dynamics and top-notch powertrain. The powerful motor breathes through a revised exhaust system, which has been tweaked to deliver a sportier note, while the Duo-Select gearbox (based off the Coupe/Spyder's Cambiocorsa unit) features new software allowing it to shift up to 35 percent faster. With additional grip provided by the wider, low-profile tires, Maserati has taken the opportunity to add new software for the car's Skyhook air suspension and dampers which allow greater road holding without compromising ride quality.
