New Quattroporte Revealed

Apologies if someone has already started a thread.
Was wondering what the general consensus was on this is? Hard act to follow but to me, no where near as pretty as the old one.

Agreed not as pretty as the old car but then again it would always be a hard act to follow.

I think it looks good though, unmistakably a Maserati (from most angles!) and no doubt it's on road presence will be immense.

Just read the article again, is this the new full size QP or the smaller 5 Series rival? Looking at the cabin size in proportion to the rest of the car I'm guessing it's the full fat version.

Almost certain that this is the full fat QP. I agree that in a darker colour it will certainly have road presence and it is unmistakably a Maserati. Be interesting to see how the baby turns out.

Its got the strong tumblehome effect of the current car, ie the width of the roof is a lot narrower than the hips which gives it the required stance and stands out from the German crowd. I'm just waiting for the first person to compare it to a Jag XJ or a Lexus GS....

Jaguar XF? (Just kidding!)

Suspension setting on that image is AWFUL!
plus they've gone all flame surfacy, no subtly bulging curvaceousness here... this is a step backwards stylistically...allows the Panamera, Rapide et al room to breath...IMO

The link has been updated to say that these are fake pics.

Thank christ for that....
