From Quattroporte To Cinqueporte By StudioM And StudioTorino
What would you do if you were an Arab sheik with literally unlimited funds and also a car fanatic ? Well, in a specific case, a Middle Eastern sheik ordered a custom estate wagon version of Maserati Quattroporte. The result is called Cinqueporte and it’s modified by StudioTorino and StudioM, for an unknown definitely not low price. This client has also ordered a few custom estate wagon Ferraris and the reason we say it didn’t go cheap is that he wants luxury and a StudioM’s previous project only for the interior of Maserati Quattroporte went to a whopping €350,000.
Click on the photos to visit the gallery, where you can see more pictures with the so-called Maserati Cinqueporte.

More Pictures of 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and Eclipse Spyder
The interior isn’t so different from the previous generation because they concentrated to upgrade the engine’s power and they made an improvement of 2 HP and 2 lb-ft torque for the V6 taking it to a total of 265 HP and 262 lb-ft.
Although the “facelifted” 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT looks good, I think it can’t compete against the Lancer Raillart.

Chicago ‘08: Audi A4 Special Edition
For the Chicago Auto Show, Audi brought the Special Edition of A4 “special” for customers fond of luxury sport sedans. This model features sport front bumper and grille, 17-inch 9-spoke wheels, leather interior and heated front seats. The car will be powered by a 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder engine and it should compete against BMW, Lexus and Mercedes.
The Audi A4 Special Edition will be available in mid March. I think Audi is a great automaker and its starting to pose a big threat to the luxury companies which are mentioned above.
