Jeremy Clarkson is driving Maserati Quattroporte 4gen (AM337) in classic old top gear

Описание: The fourth generation Quattroporte (Tipo AM337) was built from 1994 to 2001. It was built on an evolved and stretched version of the Biturbo saloons' architecture, and used twin-turbocharged V6 and V8 engines respectively from the Ghibli and Maserati Shamal coupés. For this reason the car retained very compact exterior dimensions, and is smaller than any of its predecessors and successors. The world première of the fourth generation Quattroporte took place at the April 1994 Turin Motor Show and the car went on sale towards the end of the year. Initially the Quattroporte was powered by twin-turbocharged, 24-valve V6 engines from the Maserati Ghibli. For export markets there was a 2.8-litre unit, producing 284 PS (209 kW; 280 hp) and reaching a claimed top speed of 255 km/h (158 mph). As local taxation strongly penalized cars over two-litre in displacement, Italian buyers were offered a 2.0 L version, which developed a little more power (287 PS or 211 kW) but less torque than the 2.8; on the home market the 2.8 was not offered until a year after its introduction. The cabin was fully upholstered in Connolly leather and trimmed in elm burr veneer.
After having been displayed in December 1995 at the Bologna Motor Show, in 1996 a 3.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8 Quattroporte was added to the range. Derived from the Maserati Shamal's engine, on the Quattroporte this unit developed 336 PS (247 kW; 331 hp) for a claimed top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).
