2022 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo

The Quattroporte is Maserati's full-size luxury sedan, the one that goes up against the Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series with a more theatrical personality. It drives with a sporting edge you don't expect from a big sedan, with sharp steering and a chassis that feels lively on a back road. The ride is on the firm side, which is the trade for that handling, but it settles down nicely on the highway. Inside, the cabin is roomy and trimmed in rich materials, though the tech feels a generation behind the German rivals. Stepping up to the Trofeo gives you the most powerful Quattroporte, with a 3.8L V8 that separates it from the V6 Modena models. That 3.8L V8 makes 580 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a eight-speed automatic, and it pulls hard all the way to redline. The Trofeo gets unique front and rear bumpers, larger brakes, and a sport exhaust that makes the V8's character unmistakable.
