The Quattroporte GTS would be the best option as it offers great performance from the twin-turbo V8. A lot of equipment renders it different from its lower selves, which act as the most avid attractions for the masses. Some of these include 20-inch machine-polished alloys, a rear GTS badge, premium quality fine grain extended leather interior upholstery.
