The Maserati Quattroporte is quite simply a fantastic car on its own. To mess with it under normal circumstances would be a sacrilege. When the German tuner Novitec do anything, the last that can be said about their work is that they have messed around with the car.

So they have left the body alone. What have they done? Changed the wheels! The wheels have been replaced by some nice twenty inch rims covered with Pirelli P Zero’s 285/30 on the rear and 245/35 on the front. The main piece of work is in the engine department. Novitec has optimized the 4.2-liter V8’s ECU and raised cut-off speed to 7.800 rpm slightly lifting power from 400Hp @ 7.000 rpm to 413Hp @ 7.100 rpm, and maximum torque from 451Nm @ 4.500 rpm to 468Nm @ 4.650 rpm. To finish it off, a new exhaust system has been added.

To finish off the Maserati, tuners have changed the suspension to a dual adjustable system with stainless steel shock absorbers. Unfortunately, there are no figures as to what exactly these adjustments will be doing for the car, but the increase in power, suspension change, new wheels and tires, means only one thing: more power equals more speed. Lets face it, the Novitec Maserati Quattroporte is not going to be going slower!

Could this be true? We have heard so much about the Porsche Panamera. It has almost become a legend already, without a wheel being turned, or so we think. There have been rumors of a concept car being driven around and of course the inevitable spy shots.

It is believed that the planned production will include the use of the current 4.5 liter engine from the Cayenne, or even the Audi V10 from the Carrera GT. The assembly is said to taking place in the plants in Leipzig, the VW paint shop in Hanover will do the paint job.

So it does look like this car is about to be a reality, and what a fantastic reality that will be. There has not really been a car of this style since the absolutely brilliant Porsche 928. Looking at the drawings, the Panamera does have a little bit of the 928 in there. What do you think?

If this car resembles the images that we have seen it will becomes one of those cars that rewrites history. Porsche will have in their target the likes of Aston Martin, Mercedes and cars of a similar nature.

Of course there are going to be some Porsche fans that are going to be totally against this new car, but Porsche really needs this and I think the market needs it too.
