NFS Hot Pursuit Car Profiles: Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S

2010 Maserati Quattroporte GT S

Here's another car from SCPD Rebels Pack, the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. It's hard to believe why Criterion Games put this car, of all the exotic cars out there, in this game. But, as I'm driving it, I start to see why. Under the hood is a 4.7-liter Ferrari V8 producing 434 horsepower. 0 to 60 is reached in 5.1 seconds on it's way to a top speed of 177 MPH. How it manages to reach the speed with 4552 lb. of weight, I don't know. But, what's astonishing is that it is what it is: a Maserati, nothing more, nothing less.

Maser drifting

This is a very big car, so expect some trouble when drifting. But after that, get ready to be amazed. This car is unbelievable. It might be heavy, but it drives as if it's shedding weight. I put this weight to the test at the Eagle Crest Mountains in Seacrest County. It handled the sharp curves like nothing I've ever seen before. You don't even need to go slow around the corners to control it, because this car does it for you.

Scenic driving

As for speed, it's a Ferrari with 4-doors, so expect it to blow your head off. It's supposed to go all the way to 177 MPH, but with the Nitrous topped out, you should reach 194 MPH. That's fast for a 2 and a half ton sedan. You won't even need that speed to take out the cops. Since this car is so heavy, you can take them out with ease, and that includes it's police car doppelganger.

Glorious Italian Sedan

I'm truly baffled by this car's weight, and yet it's had a Carbon Fiber makeover. Yes! Carbon Fiber! The wheels are now made of Carbon Fiber. There's Carbon Fiber in the interior. Even Carbon Fiber in the hood and exhaust. But, it doesn't matter. This car is brilliant. In the real world you can have it for about $140,000. In this game: $3.99, and it comes with 6 other cars as well. Now that we have two of the three performance saloons in this game, all we need is the Aston Martin Rapide, and the collection will be complete. Nonetheless, you will truly enjoy this Maserati. It's just staggering!
