After completion, the Quattroporte is subjected to all manner of quality control tests, looking at
everything from the integrity of its weather-proofing to its handling on different road surfaces.
Each car is tested for 50 kilometres on a wide mix of different local roads, including mountains,
motorways and city streets. Each one goes through another series of 24 checkpoints before it
is checked again by an independent contractor, who double-checks the vehicle one more time.
Finally, senior Maserati inspectors go over the vehicle with a white-glove treatment, wrapping it in
a protective covering before it makes its way to the importer – then to the dealer, and, ultimately,
the customer. It is this kind of care and pride-in-presentation that is second to none.
