Middle Path Productions produced and uploading this Vimeo video from the October 2008 Cars and Coffee event that took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I had no clue the car collections would be this nice up in the cold north but I would say a very nice turnout for the Minnesota crowd. Some very nice filming style and music to compliment the event and cars as well.
Check out another gorgeous Maserati to come out of recent times. We just covered the Maserati Gran Tursimo S MC Sportline which left me almost wanting to head to Maserati of Pasadena and see about some financial assistance or a loaner for the weekend. Now an updated Quattroporte Sport cranking up 433hp with four doors and a much more aggressive exterior is coming to the Detroit Auto show and we cannot wait. Check out the PR from Maserati below.
Maserati Press Release
Modena – December 22nd, 2008 – The new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S sets yet another milestone in terms of sportiness in the high performance luxury sedan segment of the automotive market . Conceived and developed as “a real driving machine in the guise of a luxury sedan ”, the Quattroporte Sport GT S is the ultimate expression of Maserati’s sportiness in the Quattroporte range.The technical changes to the new Quattroporte Sport GT S in respect to the Quattroporte S concern four areas:
• the mapping of the V8 4.7 liter engine, with power increased to 323kW (433 HP);
• the gearshift management software, with new features designed to increase driving enjoyment;
• the front and rear suspension system featuring single-rate dampers, stiffer springs and lower ride height;
• the sports exhaust controlled by pneumatic valves for a deep, throaty and captivating sound.
The sportier and more aggressive look is evident also by virtue of the interior and exterior stylistic choices:
• the new black grill with concave vertical fins featuring the Trident logo with red accents, typical of the sportier versions of Maserati models;
• the new headlights, in metallic titanium finish;
• the side and rear “shadow line”, which includes black finishing around the doors, body-colored door handles and black twin oval exhaust pipes,
