Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT (2006) CAR review

Sport GT? Explain please?

Maserati has expanded its big saloon range, adding two new models to sit alongside the regular Quattroporte: the luxury-angled Executive GT and the performance-focused Sport GT. The Executive gets a chrome-finished grille and 19" rims, Allegro Vanden Plas-influenced retractable wood tables and even privacy curtains.

I've never really bought into the privacy curtain craze.

Indeed. So let me tell you about the Sport GT. It rolls on Carrera S-lookalike wheels an inch larger and gets black chrome for the grille and air intakes. There's a more vocal exhaust, the Skyhook adaptive dampers get a new program, the brakes are uprated and there are smatterings of carbon fibre in the cabin.
