Last Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo: A Final Symphony of Power
Maserati South Africa has announced the last Quattroporte Trofeo available for purchase in the country. This final model, a Nerissimo Edition, represents the culmination of the Quattroporte's legacy and a last chance to own a piece of Maserati's V8 history. Priced at R4,950,000, this exclusive vehicle is available at Maserati Bryanston.
The Quattroporte, meaning "four doors" in Italian, has a rich history dating back to 1963. It quickly became renowned as the world's fastest four-door saloon, setting a benchmark for combining performance and elegance. This heritage continues with the Trofeo, a performance-focused variant that delivers exhilarating power and driving dynamics.
Under the hood lies a Ferrari-derived 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, generating a formidable 427 kW and 730 Nm of torque. This potent powerplant propels the Quattroporte Trofeo to a top speed of 326 km/h, making it one of the fastest sedans on the road. The engine is mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and rapid gear changes. Performance is further enhanced by features like Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC), a Corsa mode for track-focused driving, and Launch Control for blistering acceleration. The 0-100 km/h sprint is dispatched in a mere 4.5 seconds.
The Nerissimo Edition enhances the Quattroporte's aesthetic appeal with a striking deep black exterior. Carbon fibre accents, red Trofeo trims, and 21-inch diamond-cut wheels accentuate the car's sporty character. Black Chrome trim adorns the upper grille frame, Trident emblem, side air vents, boot, and C-pillars, while the grille bars, door handles, exhaust tips, and window trim receive an exclusive black finish. The interior is equally luxurious, featuring full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather with red stitching and high-gloss carbon fibre finishes.
Donovan Eley, Dealer Principal at Maserati Bryanston, describes the car as "an unrepeatable opportunity to own a true automotive masterpiece." This final Quattroporte Trofeo represents not just a luxury saloon, but a piece of Maserati's V8 history, a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and unparalleled performance. For collectors and enthusiasts, this is a rare chance to acquire a truly iconic vehicle. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Maserati Bryanston to schedule a private viewing.
