  • MODENA La Lettre Du Club Novembre 2012
    Club Maserati France MODENA la lettre du Club Novembre 2012 Le mot du Président Chers Amis . Nous sommes très proches de l’assemblée générale du 2 décembre où vous seront exposés résultats et réalisations de l’année 2012 mais surtout notre programme 2013 ainsi que suggestions et propositions diverses pour une évolution du Club. Votre présence et participation nous est donc nécessaire. Lors du Mondial de l’Automobile où nombreux vous avez pu apprécier le stand Maserati, sa présen- tation et l’accueil qui nous a été réservé, tout le monde savait que Maserati avait dans ses cartons de nouveaux modèles. Le secret est levé et l’article qui est consacré à la nouvelle quattroporte devrait satisfaire tous ceux qui attendaient ce moment. La dernière manifestation du Club, présence au salon Epoqu’auto de Lyon sera évoquée dans la lettre de décembre. Afin de noircir un peu de papier et de remplir les étranges lucarnes (comme disait le Canard Enchainé) il se trouve une personnalité parisienne pleine d’idées (noires) pour ralentir la progression automobile en région parisienne. La Fédération française des véhicules d’époque est tout de suite montée au créneau. Suite au prochain numéro ? Cordialement à tous. Jean-Pierre Lasartigues Nouvelles de Maserati Présentation de la Grande Quattroporte, moteur V8 de 470 ch. et nouvelles technologies. « Maserati se trouve aujourd’hui au début d’une croissance industrielle et stratégique sans précédent qui verra notre présence mondiale s’accroître à 50 000 unités par an d’ici à 2015. Cette croissance sera basée sur trois nouveaux modèles présents sur deux nouveaux segments du marché automobile et cela commencera avec la toute nouvelle Maserati Quattroporte 2013 ».
