Maserati has yanked the covers off the all-new, sixth generation Quattroporte luxury sports sedan prior to its first public appearance at the upcoming 2013 North American Auto Show (NAIA) in Detroit in mid-January and before sales begin later in the same year.
The Italian carmaker released an initial batch of photos of both the exterior and interior of its flagship sedan model, but for the time being, it is not divulging any specific details about the car with which it will be represented in the luxury segment with rivals such as the BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Jaguar XJ.
On the outside and even though we don't have any numbers in our hands yet, it becomes quickly clear that the Quattroporte is longer than its predecessor, while the styling is purely evolutionary.
Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Head of Maserati Design Centre, explains: "Its style was born out of the guiding design principles of Maserati: harmony of shapes, dynamism of lines and Italian elegance. More generous in size when compared to the previous model, the new Quattroporte has a design that is at once graceful and sinuous, fashioned to bring out the sporty nature of the car."
