29.12.2006 Jamiroquai front-man Jay Kay has waxed lyrical about the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT

Jamiroquai front-man Jay Kay has waxed lyrical about the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT which he had 'on approval' for a month. It's been a busy year for Jamiroquai's lead singer: a summer packed with live concerts, a new single, 'Runaway', released in the Autumn and a greatest hits album, 'High Times: Singles 1992-2006', which recently reached the top spot of the Official UK Album Chart.

And if this was not enough, his own clothing range - JK for Hugo, by Hugo Boss - will hit the high street stores within the next few weeks. Despite all this going on, Jay still managed to squeeze in some time to dedicate to the other great passion in his life: cars. Maserati caught up with him upon his return from a well deserved break in his Scottish hideway, fresh from having driven the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT.

"I don't know what it is", he says, as he drops a gear and smiles at the exhaust note of the Maserati V8, "but there is something about new Italian sports cars that really gets me going. Sitting in one of these, you look around and say well life ain't that bad, really!. Driving one does cheer you up. They are not everything, but they do make the bad days better. This Maserati is exquisite", he continues, "it's a gentleman's express, with a real thoroughbred under the bonnet waiting to get out.

Jamiroquai front-man Jay Kay has waxed lyrical about the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT which he had 'on approval' for a month.


"The Quattroporte is a superstylish executive car, nicer and more exclusive than the Bentley Continental GT or an Aston Martin. If you are a businessman and you want something with style and pedigree you could do a lot worse."

Meanwhile a Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT was recently sold for the incredible sum of $2.6 million at a charity event in Qatar. The auction was organised in support of Rota (Reach Out To Asia). The group aims to help school age children in the Middle East and Asia. The car was sold twice during the course of the evening. The first buyer secured a prestigious Bordeaux Pontevecchio coloured model for $1.8 million. The vehicle featured an ivory interior and was personalised in a 'Thousand and one nights' theme with a wood and silver instrument panel. The buyer promptly donated the car back to Rota which, in the following sale, achieved a price of $800,000 to make a total of $2.6 million dollars.
