Maserati Quattroporte, the Ultimate Performance Sedan

Quattro_small.jpg Given an unlimited budget, the car I would have taken from this year's auto shows was the Maserati Quattroporte, an elegantly gorgeous 4-door sedan with 400 hp and the ability to travel from 0-60 in just over five seconds. The electrohydraulic 6-speed automatic gearbox is located at the back to give the car perfect balance and the handling is impeccable. Inside, the Quattroporte is as beautiful as it is outside, lined in luscious leather with fine wood trim. The Quattroporte was first produced decades ago, when it was announced as the "world's fastest 4-door sedan." This new version, essentially a Ferrari under the skin, can probably still make that claim. The price? A little over $90,000.
