Closely related to the V8 – it shares the same bore and combustion chamber design, valve gear, twin turbos and ignition system – the V6 manages to produce a higher specific torque output than the larger engine. It also delivers its full 407lb ft of torque from 1500rpm, 500rpm lower than the V8. Peak power is 416bhp at 5500rpm
The smaller engine results in a weight saving of 40kg over the 1900kg V8, although the four-wheel drive model adds 70kg. The rear-drive Quattroporte V6 will reach 62mph in 5. 1sec, while four-wheel drive knocks 0. 2sec off that time. CO2 output for the 4x4 is slightly higher, at 246g/km, than the rear-drives 244g/km.
All Quattroportes will be available with either 19, 20, or 21-inch rims, with 20-inch wheels as standard. On 19s, the car comes with 245/45 tyres at the front and 275/40 at the rear. The 20-inch wheels wear 245/40s at the front and 285/35s at the back, while cars with 21-inch rims lowers the profiles down to 245/35 and 285/30.
While both rear-drive Quattroportes will go on sale in the UK in June, the all-wheel-drive V6 will not be built in right-hand drive.
