Want A Maserati But Need More Space? Consider This 2016 Quattroporte Shooting Brake

Maserati is known for making beautiful coupes and saloons, and since 2016, SUVs as well, but not wagons. Which obviously didn’t stop the owner of this 2016 Quattroporte from commissioning this wagon Shooting Brake conversion.

More specifically, one British aficionado was disappointed to have missed one of the four Bellagio Fastbacks made by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera that sold at an RM Sotherby’s auction in 2013, so he decided to commission his own.

Thus, he got in touch with a couple of prototyping companies, but was quoted around £200,000 (~$280,000) for the conversion, which would also take too long. He eventually found Adam Redding, who normally works on Jaguars, Aston Martins, Lancia, and Bristols. Taking the Bellagio as inspiration, but not gospel since it was based on the previous generation Quattroporte, Redding set to work.

The roof was first removed and strips of steel were laid to show how the new top might fit. Redding mocked up a few options on the computer and after much discussion with the owner, the design seen here was committed to with its upswept lower window line and gently arcing roofline.

The team then set about making it happen. The hardest part was apparently the electrics since the hatch is powered. But after 1,500 man-hours, the car was complete.

Known lovingly as the Cinqueporte, it’s finished in Gunmetal Grey metallic and has a Nero leather interior. It sits on 20-inch black-painted Mercurio alloy wheels and features all of the tech you might hope for from a luxury car.

The “Cinqueporte”, which has been driven only 8,714 miles, is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel making 271 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. Interestingly, the exact same car was up for sale in 2019 by Autostorico with the same number of miles but no black stripe on the hood.

This unique Maserati is currently being auctioned by Historics Auctioneers in the UK, who estimates it to go for anywhere between £75,000-£85,000 ($104,978-$118,975).
