Hi,
I am a newbie to Maserati forum potetially planning on a QP purchase.
I am interested to find out the performance figures for:
0-100mph
0-125mph
80-120mph
Have read the recent article at EVO and am impressed by the finesse and style in the execution of power vis-a-vis the Alpina B5 and supposedly the M5.
What are the potential problems and maintenance owners would normally encounter during the course of ownership? :roll: I understand that clutch is one of the major.
Thanks in advance.

Some performance results by google. Actually u do the research yourself... Zapped.

Appreciate the links
1/4 mile ET = 13.6s @ 105mph

Information on the QP is indeed limited. :?

I have not driven the QP yet but will definitely soon, just doing some educated research first prior to visiting the dealership so at least I know what I am getting myself into....just in case my heart decides to fall hopelessly in love

hehe...finally found what I was searching for:
According to Car and Driver: June 2004
The times recorded for the QP as follows:-
Top Speed : 275 km/h
0-60mph: 5.2 s
0-100mph: 12.4 s
0-130mph: 21.8 s
Performance stats look pretty decent for a uber-limo

In comparison to the Grandsport:-
Top speed: 290 km/h (at 7550 rpm)
0 to 100 km/h acceleration: 4.85 s
0 to 200 km/h acceleration: 17.4 s
