|
Released in 1975, the Quattroporte II was designed to provide economical GT style transport in the Quattroporte tradition. Utilising the 3.0 litre V6 of the Merak, the car had a number of surprising features: Front wheel drive, hydro-pneumatic suspension, automatic regulation of ground clearance and power assisted controls. With little performance, potential production was stopped after only 5 vehicles. |
