The Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT has been named "Best of the Best" in the sedan category by the American luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report.
The Italian car was chosen in the annual rankings over the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, the Audi S8, the MW M5 and the Mayback 57Sc, a statement from the Italian carmaker announced.
Robb Report said the Quattroporte, Italian for four doors, was "a styling masterpiece. The unpretentious Pininfarina shape will continue to turn heads when other sedans have become yesterday's styling fad.
"It is these concours-winning looks, underpinned by performance and fit and finish that are world-class, which make the Quattroporte Sport GT our favorite new sedan". The Maserati Quattroporte is the first car ever to be
named Best of the Best twice. The first time was in 2004, the year the luxury sedan was introduced to the market as the first vehicle engineered by the Ferrari-Maserati partnership.
Maserati has since been moved from Ferrari to Alfa Romeo by parent company Fiat.
The complete list of Best of the Best winners appears in the June edition of the Robb Report, which specialises in the world's finest luxury products and services. Aside from automobiles, Best of the Best recognition, now
in its 18th year, is given to yachts, jewelry, holidays, wine, fashion and other luxury items.
