M139 is a rear wheel drive automobile platform developed by Maserati for use in a range of vehicles in the Fiat group. It underpins the 2004 Maserati Quattroporte, 2007 Maserati GranTurismo as well as the 2010 Maserati GranCabrio and also forms the basis of the 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C.
A shorter version of the platform was evaluated to underpin the 2013 SRT Viper, but was not chosen.
Famous quotes containing the words fiat and/or platform:
“Then for the Style; Majestick and Divine,
It speaks no less than God in every Line:
Commanding words; whose Force is still the same
As the first Fiat that produc’d our Frame.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
