The Maserati Quattroporte AM337 was a grand tourer produced by Italian manufacturer Maserati between 1994 and 2001. It was a revival of the classic Quattroporte nameplate, which was first used in the 1960s.
Design and Features
The Quattroporte AM337 had a sleek, aerodynamic body with a long hood and a short rear deck. Its design was influenced by the Maserati 3200 GT concept car from the 1990s. The car's exterior dimensions were 4,850 mm (190.6 in) in length, 1,805 mm (71.1 in) in width, and 1,390 mm (54.7 in) in height.
The Quattroporte AM337 featured a 2+2 seating configuration, with two rear seats that provided limited legroom due to the car's compact size. The interior was trimmed in premium leather, wood, or aluminum, depending on the trim level and options chosen by the buyer.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood of the Quattroporte AM337 lay a 2.0-liter V6 engine produced by Ferrari, which generated 283 horsepower (210 kW) at 6,300 rpm and 330 Nm (243 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm. This powerplant was connected to a six-speed manual transmission with an overdrive unit.
The Quattroporte AM337 could accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 7 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).

While it received positive reviews for its design and performance, the Quattroporte AM337 struggled to gain significant market traction due to intense competition from established luxury brands and limited production numbers. Nonetheless, it remains a rare and desirable collector's item among Maserati enthusiasts today.
