In similar fashion, we don&#8217;t &#8220;need&#8221; an excuse to photograph and report on the sumptuous Italian exotic saloon. But we&#8217;ll take any we can get. This year&#8217;s is called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/22\/geneva-preview-maserati-quattroporte-sport-gt-s-awards-edition\/\">Awards Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Created to mark the innumerable honorable citations the QPorte has accrued since its launch a couple of years ago, the Awards Edition starts off with the top-of-the-line Quattroporte GT S. From there, the Trident marque has upgraded it with special &#8220;Quarzo Fuso&#8221; paint, tastefully muted brightwork, and an interior decked out in the creamiest of leathers and Alcantara. 20-inch wheels round out the package housing upgraded Brembo brakes.<\/p>\n<p>New trimmings does not a new Quattroporte make, but then it doesn&#8217;t require much in the way of enhancement. It&#8217;ll do for an excuse, though.
