DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
After "adventuring" with the two Medicis, Giugiaro now had to make a sudden return to a severe three-box shape, as per the classicism requested. He concentrated on proportioning the mass, so difficult in a sedan almost 5-meters long, with the aim to come up with at once a stately (but not imposing) and refined product. The front end of the Quattroporte sports the classic Maserati radiator grille, chrome-plated and jutting out, and double oblong headlights which, for cost reasons, are of normal production. This limitation leads to an unusual combination, but highly effective. So much so that it was to appear on all subsequent Maseratis.
