The Maserati Quattroporte is Maserati's flagship vehicle.

At that point, the Maserati Quattroporte was the fastest sedan in the world. Today, the sixth-generation Quattroporte, Italian for "4 Doors", continues to deliver a discerning taste of elegance, inspirational engines, and extraordinary comfort.

The Maserati Ghibli, a Libyan Arabic name for the "hot dry south westerly wind of the Libyan Desert", was first unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show. Primitively a 2-Door Coupe, the new third-generation Maserati Ghibli (M157) has evolved into a four-door saloon.

For starters, the sixth-generation Maserati Quattrporte is a full-size sedan, and the third-generation Maserati Ghibli is a mid-size sedan. In light of this, the Maserati Ghibli has a 118-inch wheelbase, and the Maserati Quattroporte has a 124.8-inch wheelbase. Additionally, the Maserati Quattroporte's total length is 207.2-inches and the Maserati Ghibli's total length is 195.7-inches. As far as the height goes, the Maserati Quattroporte's total height is 58.3-inches, and the Maserati Ghibli's total height is 57.5 inches. Finally, the Maserati Quattroporte's overall width (with side mirrors) is 87.2-inches, and the Maserati Ghibli's overall width is (with side mirrors) is 83.8-inches.
