model of Mas is powered by a 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 engine generating 404 h.p. at 5,500 rpm and has ‘on demand’ all- wheel drive. Maserati clearly states that they “place no limits on the driver’s desires and preferences, revolutionizing the concept of customization in the sports sedan segment.” The interior leather, available in three colours, is used on the front and rear seats as standard, but can also be extended to the side areas above the dashboard, the instrument panel brow, and the door armrests to create an original two- tone combination. Maserati Quattroporte S Q4:
The same engine as the Ghibli S Q4 powers the Quattroporte S Q4 from zero-to-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 283 km/h (176 mph). The sophisticated Q4 all-wheel drive system ensures a powerful grip of the road. Maserati Quattroporte GTS:

The Maserati GranTurismo Sport shape makes heads turn. The original GT design has been refined and more details have been added to create an exciting vehicle shape. Whether you view the car from
the front, side or back it is difficult to choose one perspective over another. The V8 engine in the GranTurismo Sport delivers 454 horsepower at 7,000 r.p.m. Maserati GranTurismo MC:
The Maserati GranTurismo MC features upgraded suspension and brake hardware, along with a lowered stance and exterior and interior design differences. The interior materials and design are significantly more racy that those used in the

Convertible: The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is based upon the GranTurismo. This is Maserati’s first four-seat convertible. There are three variants of this vehicle, GranTurismo convertible, GranTurismo convertible Sport and GranTurismo convertible MC. It is the interior of the
convertibles where Maserati says their materials lend a look and feel that is second to none. As expected, fine Italian leather is used throughout the cabin, and a choice of trim – consisting of using fine wood for the dashboard, the door and rear side panels to make the vehicle interior very unique. The GranTurismo convertible and
convertible Sport are powered by a 4,691 cc V8 engine, which creates 444 HP at 7,000 r.p.m. The GranTurismo Sport and MC
models each offer unique choices of colours, along with upgraded suspension, braking and interior materials and designs. There are many other exotic car
brands such as Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Jaguar to discover and explore. It would take an entire issue of Bounder to cover them all in a single article. (Get in touch when you win the lottery and we’ll go shopping for your next car!)
