In honor of Black Friday, we present today the original mall lot crawler, the Quattroporte. The Quattroporte V was, in a way, to Maserati as the Cayenne was to Porsche - a usable machine that cashed in on the iconic brand for some volume. Something to keep black ink in the books.

And, today's Quattroporte sports a few signature traits of the model's largest market - the South. The white paint and tint are obvious lines of defense against solar radiation in an Atlanta parking lot, and the lack of AWD that would never pass muster in the Northeast is not a problem in the warm South.

Twin Turbo V8 523 HP, beautiful color combo, 2 Owner Clean Carfax, Just serviced

The F 154 V8 is one of our favorite Ferrari mills of all time, and the more traditional cross plane layout of the Maserati A variant does little to dull the appeal. 523hp might not quite stack up to the nearly 600hp that the same family of engine makes in the Ferrari Portofino, but the wider powerband will leave few disappointed.

If it were our money, we'd find ourselves a Quattroporte V, owing to the simpler construction and bulletproof powertrain. But, there are upsides to the risk of biting into a Quattroporte VI. The power, interior, and added features tip the scales in favor of the newer model for you. Just make sure it's a GTS like this example.
