 | | | The Quattroporte Sport GT S “Awards Edition”, the
latest jewel in the Maserati range, will make its official debut at the
prestigious Geneva Auto Show next week.
During its six years of life, the Maserati Quattroporte has received no
less than 56 awards from the most prestigious automotive and lifestyle
publications in 14 countries over four continents.
The Quattroporte Sport GT S “Awards Edition”, based on the Quattroporte
Sport GT S, comes in Quarzo fuso exterior colour – a pearlescent
metallic grey with a golden hue – exclusive to this model, makes the
exterior instantly recognisable, and highlights the body’s elegant
lines.
The burnished treatment used on the exterior chrome parts, as well as
on the side air vents and radiator surround, also matches the 20’’
Multi Trident dark grey rims with satin finish.
The braking system which uses dual-cast technology, is further enhanced
by the hand-polished callipers both at the front and rear. which gives
them their special mirror-like appearance and enhances their sporty
credentials at the same time.
Inside, the Poltrona Frau leather of the seats is
combined with perforated Alcantara with a new undulated pattern, and
the headlining is also in Alcantara. Completing the cabin finishes are
the special brushed aluminium door sills and Piano Black satin-finish
wood mouldings.
The boot is finished in black trim and features chrome details and a
leather side pocket. The attention to detail has even been extended to
the mats, which are made of an even richer and softer material. A
limited number will come to the UK at the end of the year and prices
will be given nearer the time.
| | |  | | | Europe’s best selling pick-up and its SUV sibling
since its launch – the Nissan Navara and Pathfinder – have been given a
mid-term boost with a number of significant enhancements designed to
keep them at the top.
Among the changes are the arrival of a new and technically advanced
3.0-litre V6 diesel engine; important improvements to the popular
2.5-litre dCi diesel; greater levels of passive safety; new equipment
including the availability of a state-of-the-art Nissan Connect Premium
touch-screen satellite navigation system, a premium Bose sound system
and a rear view camera; enhanced interior quality and a number of
styling changes to keep Navara and Pathfinder looking sharp.
Together the improvements reinforce Nissan’s premier position in the
all-wheel drive market and strengthen both Navara and Pathfinder’s
status in a hugely competitive segment.
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show, the improved new-look Navara and
Pathfinder models are due on sale across Europe in April 2010. They
will be followed two months later by the new 3.0-litre V6 diesel
flagship models. |
