It is hard to believe that the current Pininfarina-designed Maserati Quattroporte has been with us since 2004. Yes, it may be getting old but arguably, it looks better now than ever.
Nevertheless, the Italians aren't keen on resting on their laurels and have been hard at work on the Quattroporte's successor, which is expected to make its world premiere at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show - unless Maserati surprises us in Paris next month.
Based on a set of patent drawings and spy shots/videos, I have brought a fresh visual perspective of how the next Quattroporte may look.
The gentleman's express features similar design elements to the Kubang SUV, but arguably shares more in common with the GranTurismo. With its aggressive grille ready to inhale oxygen and wildlife, the new car throws a much bigger visual punch. The surface language is more dynamic and sculptured, which lends to a sleeker and more modern look.
There are still some similarities with the old car. The roofline and glass area have been thoroughly massaged and carried over, while the car now features frameless side windows. The signature side vents make it to the new car as do the central hood creases.
Will the next Quattroporte have what it takes to go head to head with its main rivals? Well, only time will tell but one thing is for sure; the Porsche Panamera and Mercedes-Benz AMG limos won't make things easy.

headlights are all wrong
For the love of god make it
available with a proper manual transmission. That would distinguish it form its
competitors that cater to old farts that can't drive.
Why would they do that? Manual gearboxes are a thing of the past and Maseratis are grand tourers, not sport cars, especially the Quattroporte.
Some questions about the engine specifications still remain.
headlights remind me Infinity lights, but rest of car is ok
That illustration looks AWESOME! BUILD THAT!
Does anyone else get a real Volvo feel from the look of this car?

which car buy
Like it :)
Finally! A pretty Maserati!
I would expect she'll be under 1.9-tonnes(as a Jaguar XJ) as a curb weight, if realized it makes an epoch in weight reduction(per an unit of square measure for body).
thank you very much for the info and for the work done, a follower of Spain, thank you very much friend

I hope it looks this good and has the FF FWD system and maybe a hatch back/sports back, i can't afford
the FF and 4 doors is better.

Agree, the exterior never really an update - but they interior did...
Will be more difficult to justify this car with the new better looking Panamera
