Maserati Reports Top October Sales in History

97 percent sales gain posted in October, compared with same month one year ago

-- MY 2015 Ghibli and Quattroporte models fuel further growth

-- 258 percent year-over-year increase of total retail sales

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ -- Nov. 3, 2014: Maserati North America, Inc. continues to topple sales records this October, posting its best October yet with (1,227 retail units sold) with total sales equaling a 258 percent year-over-year increase. This month's feat marks another significant month for the Trident on the brink of the luxury automaker's 100th anniversary. This is the company's twenty-first consecutive month of sales increases in the Americas.

Available with "Q4" all-wheel drive offering four-seasons versatility, the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans continue to enjoy strong sales as winter's inclement weather approaches. Together with the GranTurismo (coupe) and GranTurismo Convertible, the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans benefit from updates for the 2015 model year, which are arriving in showrooms now.

"Reflecting the broader appeal and versatility of the expanded model range and its exceptional performance and style, Maserati has recorded its best October ever," says Peter Grady, President & CEO of Maserati North America, Inc. "We anticipate continued growth this holiday season as Maserati holds its firm footing. In its one-hundred year history, the brand has never been more relevant than today," says Grady.

For MY2015, the highest-specification Quattroporte GTS—equipped with a potent twin-turbo V8 producing 523HP—arrives with new features that make it more immediately recognizable as the flagship of the range. Detail accents such as lower bodywork color-matched to the car's body; a refreshed trident badge; and red accented wheel center caps now differentiate the GTS. Both the GTS and all-wheel drive Quattroporte S Q4 now offer contrast stitching and Black Piano lacquered trim as well.

The Ghibli also features new enhancements for MY2015, including navigation and Bluetooth that now become standard on the rear wheel drive Ghibli. A new standard brake caliper finish and contrast stitching are also available on Ghibli and Ghibli SQ4. Additionally, a three-month subscription to the SiriusXM "All Access" package is now offered to customers purchasing any new GranTurismo, Quattroporte and Ghibli models. The full MY2015 product line will be on display in California at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 21st, 2014.
