Maserati Bellagio Fastback Touring Goes into Production

Limited to 25 units

Not too long ago at the 2008 Concorso d'Elegance Villa d'Este the recently revived Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera showed up with two concept cars, one sports berlinetta called A8GCS Berlinetta Touring and a homage to the shooting brake of old the Bellagio Fastback Touring.

The coachbuilding company Superleggera has decided to take the fastback into production, limited production actually since they will only build 25 of them. If you want your Maserati Quattroporte to have additional storage for your golf bags, skis or shotguns then head on over to Milan.

Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera hasn't exactly announced pricing but they claim that if you bring your Quattroporte to Milan, the coachbuilding should not push the bill over a super car price tag. Autoblog.nl claims that 200,000 euro excluding taxes will suffice.

Except for the new rear end, the Quattroporte donor car stays the same unless the owner wants a new interior. Everything is possible if your heart so desires, but at a price of course. Power still comes from the 295 kW / 400 hp 4.2 liter V8 engine. The added cargo space, now max 1,500 liters, only ads 50 kg to the total weight of the car and is capable of a 0-100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds.

this car has certainly more taste (and makes more sense) than those custom built Ferrari 456 Touring built in the past...

my logan MPV looks more classy than this. so heavy looks...how can maserati make a mistake like this, and, still take it into production?

25 units i don't think it worths it, Fiat the company that owns ferrari and Maserati have amazing plans so i really don't know what are they doing

Maserati do not able to find its place. This one is just a joke. Do somebody remember yet the beauty of previous Quattroporte

This ruins the exclusivity of the Quattroporte!

This won't be build by Maserati any way. Quote: The coachbuilding company Superleggera has decided to take the fastback into production...

European, on classical platform based (RWD) premium or even luxury coupe segment is empty since early 80-s and wide open to go... they build next SUV for rich wagoners, J'ss, that "gimme abreak" product creation culture and enterpreneurship!

this is rubbish !

The Touring is a mistake. Quattroporte should have been left well alone and Touring designed from the ground up like the Quattroporte Coupe.
