Another 2021 Maserati Quattroporte prototype was spotted, this time on the back of a trailer, wearing even more camouflage than before, but there’s a good reason for that: it sports the production taillights.
Don’t let the vinyl stickers trick you, as the lighting units do not protrude that much into the rear quarter panels. In fact, they have a very Audi-ish feel, as previous spy shots, which were a bit more revealing, have shown. The boot lid appears to soldier on unchanged and the bumper lines look a bit softer.

The front bumper, grille and headlights will also be revised, yet it is on the inside where the biggest changes will occur, as the Trident brand’s flagship sedan will embrace a new 10.1-inch infotainment system. There is a good chance that it might even get a fully digital instrument cluster, which will make it look and feel a bit more modern, something that it desperately needs, considering that the sixth generation has been around since 2012.
An updated engine range is also on the cards for the 2021 Quattroporte, and the Ghibli’s mild-hybrid 2.0-liter four-pot, with 330 HP, is also expected to be introduced. The Trofeo version will sit at the top of the lineup and will be presented on August 10. Elsewhere, the 3.0- and 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 and V8 are expected to be retained.
The facelifted Quattroporte should debut later this year, though the unveiling of the Quattroporte Trofeo (and Ghibli) seems like a very good place to present it.
