2023 Maserati Quattroporte

Even in its base trim, the Quattroporte proves to be an enjoyable drive down a good road. At its peak, the Trofeo model cranks out a scintillating 580 horsepower and holds its own against some of the best German sport sedans. But the Quattroporte starts to show its age when it comes to newer rivals. The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT sedan, for example, both have the performance to match the big Maserati and are outfitted with more impressive infotainment technology and advanced driver aids. And while the Porsche Panamera doesn't quite have the panache of the Maserati, its driving dynamics are beyond reproach.

For buyers who place a high value on individuality and exclusivity, the Maserati Quattroporte could be worth a look. Otherwise, the aforementioned rivals will likely be better choices for your next performance-oriented luxury sedan.
