Cars with four doors were not part of the Maserati tradition until the first saloon was presented in 1963. It was so successful that three potential successors were created, but only one made the race, namely the Quattroporte III, designed by Giugiaro. With over 2000 units produced in almost 12 years, it once again clearly surpassed its predecessor in terms of sales success. This report tells the story of the four-door Maserati Quattroporte III and its rivals, supplemented by many current and historical pictures and three sales brochures.
