The Appeal
Penned by the able hand of Ken Okuyama at renowned design house Pininfarina, the fifth generation of the Maserati Quattroporte paired elegant Italian luxury with Ferrari’s 4.2-litre, 395 horsepower V8 engine.
This 2007 Executive GT has been meticulously attended to and so is presented in very good condition both mechanically and cosmetically. Equipped with a number of choice factory options and in full working order, this is an excellent opportunity to bag yourself a fabulous piece of Italian automotive design.
