“SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE BEST. AGAIN”
Jun 19th
“The Maserati Quattroporte. Simply the Best of the Best. Again. Or should we say “still”?

I feel other companies concentrate on the numbers – the 0-60, the score on the skid-pad, the quarter-mile time. They reduce everything to a quantitative formula, and then the exhaust note is whatever it turns out to be.

The Best Driving Course – Master Maserati Gets the Green Flag
‘Francois Bennahmias, CEO of Audemars-Piguet, noted that Master Maserati is exactly the sort of experience owners of his exclusive timepieces will relish. “Our customers can have anything they want. They crave always the best, which is why they buy truly rare products like Audemars-Piguet and Maserati. This course is something we can guide them to with pride, knowing it will enhance their skills and their lifestyle. Everything is first class, from the hotel and the hospitality to the school itself. My staff has been very impressed.”‘
In classes of no more than 18 people, split into groups of four or five, Master Maserati studends discover the skid pad, slalom, high-speed avoidance maneuvers, and the racing circuit driving in Maserati’s Coupe and GranSport. They learn the racing line in the world’s incomparable Maserati Quattroporte, and they feel super high performance in the Maserati Trofeo Race car. Master Maserati offers a unique sense of accomplishment from conquering the legendary Road Atlanta race track in the superbly balanaced, ultra-responsive, 400bhp GranSport.
