Maserati’s Awards Edition Quattroporte Sport GT S At Geneva Show

Maserati claims 56 awards from various publications have been given to the Quattroporte. That gave Maserati 56 reasons to warrant a special edition called the “Awards Edition” Quattroporte Sport GT S for the Geneva motor show next week. Added to it are unique exterior and interior upgrades. Output remains at 433 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque, as Maserati has left the potent powertrain alone.

The exterior wears a pearlescent grey and gold metallic color called quarzo fuso that is unique to the model. Chrome bits on the exterior receive a burnish, including the side air vents and materials surrounding the radiator. There’s the requisite “Awards Edition” series plate, and behind the grey, 20-inch Multi Trident wheels are polished calipers, which Maserati teamed up with Brembo to produce. The rotors get their shiny appearance through a hand-finishing process.

The interior boasts Poltrona Frau leather seats and an undulating pattern of perforated Alcantara. The trunk has a full black trim with chrome details and a leather side pocket, while the mats are made from a “richer and softer” material, according to Maserati. Brushed aluminum doorsills and piano black satin-finish wood moldings complete the upgrades.

The 2011 Quattroporte Sport GT S Awards Edition goes on sale in the second half of 2010.
