Jeremy Clarkson spells out why you should consider the Maserati Quattroporte

In the Maserati, however, there was space behind Nigel for our green-room director, Philippa, who’s so tall she’s actually measured in hands.

All that matters is that you are comfortable and that, when you arrive, you are stepping out of one of the coolest cars ever made. Don’t believe me? Well, try saying this and see how it sounds: “Shall we take the Maserati tonight, darling?” Has a ring, doesn’t it?

My advice, then, is simple. If you want to drive yourself, then, sure, go for a Rapide or, if you are impervious to design abomination, a Panamera. But if you want to be driven, then the Maserati Quattroporte ticks all the boxes that matter. And several that don’t.

Quattroporte, remember, means four-door. This, then, is a car that does, quite literally, what it says on the tin.

CLARKSON'S VERDICT

The only car to be chauffeured in, darling
