Maserati Quattroporte II
In 1974, at the Turin show, Maserati presented its Quattroporte II (AM 123) on a Citroën SM chassis, since Citroën had purchased the Italian company.
It had an angular Bertone body, fashionable at the time, and was the only Maserati with a hydropneumatic suspension and front wheel drive. However, the 1973 oil crisis had intervened and demand for such cars slowed. Furthermore, the front wheel drive layout and modest V6 powerplant from the Merak (offering less than 200 horsepower) didn't attract many customers.
Maserati made 13 Quattroporte IIs. Six of them originally were pre-production models and the other seven were built to order between 1975 and 1978.
