Re: Quattroporte to get Ferrari V-12!
I love the quattroporte. I think they are sexier than the a8 and 7 series but no one else thinks so.

I like the A8L. But the Quattroporte is much rarer.

Re: Quattroporte to get Ferrari V-12!
The only thing is the F1 tranny. I think its stupid. Why dont they have manuals? That would be cool.

It doesn't have a manual because it is a full size luxury performance sedan. It may have the F1 paddle-shifters (optional, if available), but no "manual" gate shifter. The rest of the world prefers the F1-stlye paddles, whereas America still likes the traditional manual. But the auto tranny is what most customers would get.

Re: Quattroporte to get Ferrari V-12!
We just recently purchesed a maserati quattroporte and the only thing is the long....gasping....pauses between gears while in automatic... it gets quite annoying...but the paddle shift mode is quite fun
