Maserati Shows Off Their Last V8-Powered Model – The Quattroporte Grand Finale
Maserati Quattroporte Grand Finale is a send off for the brand’s V8 engine.
Late last month, Maserati showed their last ever V8-powered vehicle – the Maserati Quattroporte Grand Finale. Coincidentally, this will be the final Quattroporte model too, having been on sale in this generation since 2013. An electric new generation Quattroporte successor is being planned and it is planned as a competitor to the Porsche Taycan and there might be a name change in the works too.
About The Maserati Quattroporte Grand Finale
Maserati has been keeping this Quattroporte alive for more than a decade now with updates and limited edition models, usually with minor changes over the original. With the Grand Finale model, the story is largely the same. The twin turbocharged 3.8L V8 engine has not been given a new tune or any performance enhancements whatsover and produces the same 572 horsepower and 729Nm of torque as it always has on the 2022 Quattroporte Trofeo model.
However, you do get some unique touches that should make this car more valuable to collectors and aficionados. The Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme was behind the work done to the Grand Finale model and they’ve given it a special paint job in Blue Nobile a new carbon fibre body kit finished in the same shade. Plus, the brake calipers are finished in a brushed aluminium finish. There’s also a custom cover for the engine with the signatures of the team of engineers and customisers who worked on the project.
A unique 999999 identification number has been printed on the windscreen and on the inside of the driver door too. The interior features a steering wheel with burl accents, door panels in tan leather and A-pillars in black leather. The Trident logo can be found on the headrests with black stitching. There’s also a leather-lined boot and passenger door handle accents in burl wood. A ‘Grand Finale’ badge is found on the central tunnel and on the door sills.
Unfortunately, this is the extent of the changes that comes to the last send off to the Maserati Quattroporte and the brand’s iconic V8 engines. Maserati has been building V8 motors since 1939 and had a continuous run of naturally-aspirated V8 engines for 45 years before being replaced by engines designed by Ferrari.
