The Tipo 107 Rapide,was capable of traveling at 200km/h (124mph) on the new motorways It was equipped with a 4.1-litre (4,136cc or 252cuin) V8 engine, producing 260hp (194kW; 264PS) DIN at 5,000rpm, and either a five-speed ZF manual transmission or a three-speed Borg Warner automatic on request. Maserati claimed a top speed of 230km/h (143mph). The car was also exported to the United States, where federal regulations mandated twin round headlamps in place of the single rectangular ones found on European models.
Between 1963 and 1966, 230 units were made.
In 1966, Maserati revised the Tipo 107, adding the twin headlights already used on the U.S. model. A leaf-sprung solid axle took place of the previous De Dion tube. The interior was completely redesigned, including the dashboard which now had a full width wood-trimmed fascia. In 1968 alongside the 4.1-litre a 4.7-litre version became also available (AM107/4700), developing 290PS (213kW; 286hp) DIN. Top speed increased to a claimed 255km/h (158mph),[6] making the Quattroporte 4700 the fastest four-door saloon in the world at the time.
Around 500 of the second series were made, for a total of 776 Tipo 107 Quattroportes. Production ended in 1969.[6]
