The flagship sedan beats Bentley Flying Spur, BMW M5 and Audi S8 becoming the first-two time winner.

Maserati once again takes Robb Report’s top honor for a luxury sedan, this year with the new Quattroporte Sport GT.

Despite stiff competition from Bentley, BMW and others, one car stood apart as the most beautiful and engaging, and the most fun to drive, according to the hard-to-impress Robb Report editors.

With its 400 hp Ferrari-derived 4.2-liter V8, front-mid-engine design and F1-inspired, 6-speed transmission, the editors quickly discovered that “the Q-Porte’s priority is performance, ...putting the sport in sport sedan.”

They went on to call the Quattroporte Sport GT a “styling masterpiece,” with a classic Pininfarina shape that “will continue to turn heads when other sedans have become yesterday’s styling fad.”
