Quattroporte... Lets break that down shall we?

Quattro: Root word Quad, meaning four (4).
Porte: Meaning hatch or opening. This case, a door.

Quattroporte=4 door

Its basically a Maserati 4 door. they just tried to sell it by giving it a fancy name, "Quattroporte". They have a Maserati concept Quattroporte now. It made me laugh when I heard of it...

I just wanted to make sure that the "Italian termanology" was understood. Who knew that you could make another term for 4 door, and make it sound cool?!

Yeah "Quattroport" automatically makes me think "4-valve", but the word for that is actually "Quattrovalvole"

Yea, Ferrari used the Quattrovalvole. On the later 308GTS. Due to emisions, it lost power, but the later Quattrovalvole gained some back. but this is nutz- The Ferrari 308 had a 2.7L(I think) Mid einge V8. I shit you not.

BTW: I'm not a red head, I'm actually half blonde!

No, my dad has brown hair and my mom is blonde... Go figure eh? So I have dark blonde looking hair and a normal person's intelligence. :)

Actually it's a 3.0L V8. I should know. Incidentally, henge and I were working on "our" project 308GTSi last night, got the alternator and oil cooler removed, among other things. The engine's going to be ready to come out in a couple more weeks.
