Seventy Maserati Quattroporte Automatic on their way to Europe

The first 70 Quattroporte Automatic have left Modena for the European markets.

Maserati dealerships in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Belgium, as well as those in Italy, will be the first to take delivery. Italian dealer representatives opted to personally take delivery of the vehicles from Modena.

A week from the presentation at the Detroit Motorshow, the new Quattroporte Automatic took pride of place at Modena’s prestigious Military Academy. The vehicles then wound their way through the streets of Modena to Piazza Grande where Chief Executive Roberto Ronchi symbolically handed over the keys of the cars to the European dealer representatives.

At the end of the ceremony, all 70 Quattroportes left Piazza Grande for their respective destinations.

In the UK, the Quattroporte Automatic will officially go on sale on February 14, 2007. Prices for the Quattroporte Automatic range will start at £77,000.
