it was not considered to be a real QP, but a four door version of the new Ghibli and Biturbo derivatives, just like the BMW 3-series came with two and four door version at the time. But technically speaking you may be right.

Update: Yes you were right, the latest one is the QP5. There was a QP4 in the nineties.

here is one of more famous QP1s. Actually it has only 2 doors, but anyway.

This vehicle was used as a fast fire engine on Italian racetracks

and now for the most enigmatic of them all, the QP2, the only ever FWD Maserati, shown at the Retromobile 2006 Christies auction

The interior is Citroen (just like the suspension system and the FWD) the revcounter and the speedometer are the classic Citroen "eyes"

Do you mean they ripped the instrument cluster from a contemporary Citroen model?

Cant't remember any Citroen from 1970s with so outrageously geometrical interior.

Those "eyes" are from CX, right?

no, it was a specifically designed dash, but with some Citroenesque features. The "eye" started with the GS and then the CX, also the first BX series had it. It turned round and it was nice to see that it ran backward when you riding in reverse, showing about 180 kph

here is another pic of the interior. The car was sold for 65,000 Euro by Christies last Saturday
