The Maserati Quattroporte is now available with an innovative diesel engine that is capable of
matching the performance of many conventionally powered engines. Along with all the benefits of
diesel power, this 3-litre V6 engine offers other advantages including impressive noise reduction,
better cold start-up and higher torque at low revs. The turbocharging system features a variable
geometry unit that reduces inertia and turbo lag, while air cavity insulation of the exhaust manifolds
maintains a high exhaust gas temperature, which contributes to the engine’s impressive power
delivery. The 275 CV (202 kW) and 600 Nm of torque are clear indications of this unit’s outstanding
efficiency. It also boasts excellent fuel consumption and emissions figures: 6.2 l/100km in the
Combined Cycle and 163 g/km of CO
2
. The Quattroporte Diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in
6.4 seconds, and has a top speed of 250 km/h.
