To keep pace with the more sophisticated man of the day and to compete with other marques like Mercedes and BMW, it was essential to de Tomaso that there was an Italian option of like production and style. Presented first in 1976 (see sales leaflet) the Quattroporte III (AM 130) was made available with 4.2 liter V8 @ 90° (255 bhp @ 6000 rpm) and 4.9 liter V8 options (280 bhp @ 5800 rpm ) that allow a top speed @ 250 Km/h (Compression ratio 8.5:1, 93.9x89/4930.6 cc Equipped with 4 Weber 42 DCNF).
