Despite the Coupe Cambiocorsa’s sports car like qualities on the track, it’s quite suited to being a long-distance grand touring car.  It can easily gobble up the miles with its extensive list of standard equipment almost as long as the Quattroporte’s.  Not to mention, the extra-supportive seats and roomy cabin also help in making each trip into a life-changing journey. 

At this point, you’re probably expecting a price sticker shocker for both the Quattroporte and Coupe Cambiocorsa.  Well, unfortunately, it’s not as black and white as buying an off-the-shelf Japanese compact.  Each Maserati is tailor-made for its owner’s individual taste and as such, the company offers an extensive palette of available colors and materials.  This service, called Officine Alfieri Maserati Personalization Program adds that exclusivity touch so lacking in other luxury brands.  For the Quattroporte alone, there are 15 exterior colors, 10 interior leather shades, 10 dashboard and steering wheel colors, 13 stitching highlights, 3 roof lining and 5 interior accents!  And we’re not counting the addition of an entertainment system, moon roof or the Skyhook automatic suspension damping control.  After some prodding through, Marc Soong did say that both the Quattroporte and Coupe Cambiocorsa are priced competitively versus its perennial rivals.

In any case, at this level of performance, luxury and personalization, it’s never about the price tag.  In both the Quattroporte and Coupe Cambiocorsa, Maserati has shown that be it a four-door sedan with room for five or a compact two-door coupe, it has successfully maintained its mantra of creating a truly avant-garde machine with technical sophistication guaranteeing performance, luxury and style.
