Released in November 2008, the Maserati Mk.5 Series II (Mk.5-II) Quattroporte introduced a revised range which consisted of the standard Quattroporte, S and Sport GT S variants. The S and Sport GT S were powered by a more powerful 4.7-litre V8 engine, with the latter fitted with a twin-plate clutch ‘MC-Auto Shift’ transmission. The semi-automatic DuoSelect transmissions from the Mk.5-I Quattroporte range, however, were discontinued. The Maserati Mk.5-II Quattroporte could be identified by its revised grille with vertical slats, more aggressive front and rear bumpers, updated head- and tail-lights with LEDs, more pronounced side skirts and door mirrors. Inside, there was a new centre console, updated multi-media and navigation systems and two new shades of leather: Marrone Corniola and Sabbia.
