While not your typical family car, the Quattroporte is, in fact, Maserati’s entry in the family car segment. Now, the Italian automaker is upping the va-va-voom factor with performance and styling enhancements sure to appeal to style-conscious parents looking for the ultimate Italian four-door to stand out from the gaggle of Bimmers and Benzos at the local PTA meeting. The engine in the Sport GT S is the same screaming 4.7-liter V8 used in the “S” version, only slightly more powerful – it has 433 horsepower, versus 430 horses. The six-speed automatic transmission’s management software and suspension have also changed to improve driving enjoyment.
