In July 2024, Maserati concluded an illustrious chapter with the final roar of its celebrated V8 engine.

The Maserati Quattroporte, a name that has long been synonymous with luxury and performance, has seen various evolutions since its inception in 1963. The current model, the Quattroporte Grand Finale, is distinguished by its V8 engine, a 3.8-litre twin-turbo unit sourced from Ferrari. This engine, delivering an impressive 427 kW and 730 N.m of torque, has been a hallmark of Maserati’s high-performance range. It powered the Ghibli and Levante models before finding its final home in this exclusive sedan.
Finished in a striking Blue Nobile, the Grand Finale stands out with its carbon fibre accents and brushed aluminium brake callipers. The vehicle’s unique character is further highlighted by its exclusive identification number 999999, and a custom engine cover bearing the signatures of Maserati’s engineering team. These features not only mark the car’s rarity but also offer a touch of personal connection to the brand’s legacy.

Inside, the Quattroporte Grand Finale continues the theme of exclusivity with a range of bespoke touches. The cabin features burl wood accents on the steering wheel and door handles, complemented by tan door panels and black leather detailing. The leather-lined boot and distinctive Grand Finale emblems on the centre console and door sills add to the sense of occasion and rarity.
As Maserati transitions to an electric future, the Quattroporte Grand Finale stands as a final tribute to the company’s storied past with internal combustion engines. With the development of its electric successor facing delays, this model represents the last of its kind to leave the Maserati factory for the foreseeable future, closing a significant chapter in automotive history.
