Maserati Quattroporte III 1979–1985 Arrives in 1:18 Scale by Cult Scale Models

The Maserati Quattroporte III has arrived in 1:18 scale from Cult Scale Models, bringing one of Maserati’s most elegant grand saloons to collectors in a beautifully presented hand-made resin model.

Produced between 1979 and 1985, the Quattroporte III represented a return to traditional luxury saloon values for Maserati. Long, formal, imposing and unmistakably Italian, it combined understated prestige with the presence expected from a flagship Maserati. Now, Cult Scale Models has recreated this distinctive four-door classic in 1:18 scale, with three colour options available: Silver, Red and Blue.

This is a particularly appealing subject for collectors of classic Italian road cars. While Maserati is often associated with coupes, sports cars and racing machinery, the Quattroporte III tells a different part of the story. It was a luxury express rather than a circuit hero, designed for comfort, refinement and effortless style. In model form, that gives it a very different charm from the usual supercars and racing models.

A Classic Maserati Saloon in 1:18 Scale

The Quattroporte III has a strong, formal shape that suits 1:18 scale very well. At approximately 27 cm long, the model has real presence on display, capturing the long bonnet, square front end, upright glasshouse and generous rear proportions of the original car.

Cult Scale Models has produced the model in hand-made resin, allowing the body shape and exterior detailing to be rendered cleanly. The sharp saloon profile, chrome-effect window surrounds, front grille, bumpers, wheels and rear light treatment all contribute to the period character of the car.

It is the kind of model that appeals not because it is loud or dramatic, but because it is elegant, restrained and unusual. The Quattroporte III was a car of quiet confidence, and that same feeling comes through in this 1:18 release.

Hand-Made Resin with Collector Details

This Cult Scale Models release is a hand-made resin model in 1:18 scale. The model measures approximately 27 cm long and is supplied with a display base. It also features photo-etch parts, helping to add refinement to areas such as exterior trim and fine detailing.

Each version is presented in a green Cult Scale windowed box, making it suitable for display while still keeping the model protected. As with many Cult Scale Models releases, this is aimed squarely at collectors who appreciate unusual subjects and limited-run classic road cars.

The model is a limited edition of just 120 units, which adds to its appeal. Low production numbers are always worth noting with Cult Scale Models, as once these releases sell through, they can become difficult to find again and often appreciate in value.

Three Colours Available

The Maserati Quattroporte III is available in three colour options, each giving the car a slightly different personality.

CML159-1 Silver offers a very classic luxury saloon look. The silver finish highlights the clean lines and formal proportions of the Quattroporte III, giving the model a refined, understated appearance.

CML159-2 Red gives the car a warmer and more distinctive Italian character. It brings out the Maserati identity nicely and adds a little more visual drama without losing the elegance of the original shape.

CML159-3 Blue is perhaps the most traditional executive choice of the three. The dark blue finish works especially well with the chrome-effect details and tan interior, giving the model a sophisticated period look.

All three versions share the same core appeal: a large, elegant Italian saloon recreated in a scale that allows the proportions and detailing to be fully appreciated.

An Unusual and Welcome Subject

One of the best things about this release is the choice of subject. The Maserati Quattroporte III is not the kind of car that appears regularly in 1:18 scale, and that makes it a refreshing addition to the market.

Collectors of classic Maserati models will already know that many important road cars remain underrepresented in larger scales. The Quattroporte III fills an interesting gap, especially for those who prefer luxury saloons, coachbuilt Italian design or cars from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

It also sits very nicely alongside other classic European saloons and grand tourers. Its long, angular shape gives it a strong display presence, while the Maserati badge adds a level of prestige that makes it stand out from more common executive cars of the period.
