They are sleek, stylish, and literally the thing that dreams are made of. They’ve graced the hottest red carpets and stunned all in attendance. They’ve been featured in a wide variety of commercials, television shows, and even on the big screen. When it comes to choosing between luxury brands, this is one that simply cannot be overlooked. But even within the brand, there is a tough choice to be made regarding style, power, performance, and price. So, what are the best 2011 Maserati models?
Quattroporte
Three models to choose from – the Quattroporte, the Quattroporte S, and the Quatroporte Sport GT S (pictured) – give the buyer even more to consider, but one thing is certain, this is a car that anyone would want to drive. Reaching top speeds of nearly 170 miles per hour it certainly will blow your hair back and there is no need to wait, because the Quattroporte will reach those speeds in no time at all. This car can go zero to sixty in as little as five seconds (5.1 seconds for the sport edition, 5.6 seconds for the standard model). Need to bring it back down, so you can show it off for a few? Well, then it is good to know that you can stop on a dime – from sixty miles per hour in just over thirty-five yards. Of course, you will want to be comfortable as you maneuver so easily in and out of traffic, down the highway, or around sharp bends. Fortunately this new Maserati can offer that as well with state-of-the-art ergonomic seating in dual fabrics – leather and Alcantara upholstery. The dash rolls into the speed and the controls are conveniently located to make the trip enjoyable from the moment you leave the driveway.
GranTurismo Coupe
A classic Maserati in look, feel, and performance. This serves as a base for many of the other models in the line-up and offers a great deal in the way of personality. With four trims to choose from, the engineers behind this vehicle made sure that everyone can get exactly what they want. The list of areas to be personalized is nearly limitless and the vehicles are handcrafted to meet the needs and desires of each and every driver. Choose from ten exterior colors as well as countless varieties of interior coloring and accents, but know that regardless of the decisions made here, you are buying the very best in function, flavor, and form. Whether traveling at maximum speeds of over 180 mph or sitting still, this car is sure to attract attention wherever it goes.
GranCabrio or GranTurismo Convertible
With a convertible soft top, this is one striking ride that is sure to turn heads in any setting. Sleek lines move effortlessly across the surface. Wide rims dazzle as the powerful 4.7 litre V8 engine roars to life and this luxury auto speeds away. That ride is smooth and silent, whether taking corners at high speeds or just racking up miles of the highway thanks to the Maserati USA engine design, which features peak torque of 490 Nm at 4750 rpm. The six-speed automatic transmission allows for ultra fluid shifting and offers manual mode, for those that want a bit more control. In this mode, changing gears is done via hand controls on the steering column. Though the engine makes the ride, it’s the design that makes it worth driving and Maserati never fails to impress in this category. The GranCabrios, which has dazzled at red carpet events several times in the past year, is truly eye candy. The smooth surface begs to be touched and sitting low to the ground with chrome accents, it’s as if one can see its speed even when set to ‘park’.
