If more power is required, the same engine puts out 433 horsepower on the GT S model. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Maserati Quattroporte Sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.5 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.3 seconds with the high-output engine. Irrespective of the powertrain, it returns with a combined fuel economy of 15 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 16 striking colors the Maserati Quattroporte Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself.
