The guys from Autospots.nl caught a facelifted Maserati Quattroporte at the Maserati hometown of Modena, Italy.

The current generation Quattroporte was launched in 2004, but now Maserati will have to change it if they want it to compete with models like Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide. Next generation Quattroporte is expected to be unveiled in 2012.

The spy pictures show a new front fascia of the car with new headlights, a new lower bumper and the grille seems to be slightly retouched with a less curvy top and bottom.
