Maserati, an Italian luxury carmaker, has unveiled a special creation the ‘Grecale Tributo IL Bruciato’ which is a one-off SUV made in collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, one of Italy’s oldest and most prestigious wine-making families.
This project is part of Maserati’s Fuoriserie personalisation programme, which allows customers to design their own bespoke versions of Maserati cars, that blends art, heritage and engineering into one masterpiece.
This one-of-a-kind SUV draws its inspiration from IL Bruciato which is a world-renowned wine produced in Bolgheri, Tuscany. The Grecale Tributo IL Bruciato is painted in a stunning new shade called Alchimia Scarlatta which is developed using Chromaflair pigment, meaning its colour changes slightly under different lighting. The effect of this premium SUV mimics the deep red and copper-gold hues of fine wine swirling in a glass and gives the car a dramatic yet elegant look.
Customers have a choice to choose between 21-inch Pegaso Forgiati or Crio Fuoriserie alloy wheels. Both of them add a sporty touch, while black brake callipers and the Fuoriserie logo on the fenders remind that this isn’t a regular Maserati, but it is a piece of automotive art.
From the inside, the luxury continues with Tan and Dark Red leather upholstery, ribbed seats and the iconic Trident logo embossed on the headrests. The interior of this ultra-luxury SUV is designed to offer a relaxing and aesthetic experience. A 14-speaker Sonus faber sound system and a panoramic sunroof complete the ultra-premium experience of this car.
Speaking about the project, Giovanni Perosino, Maserati’s Chief Marketing and Communication Officer, said “Grecale Tributo IL Bruciato is the upshot of an exclusive project that has revolved around Maserati’s essence as the epitome of Italian luxury around the world. Produced for the few, almost tailor-made, inspired by tradition, innovation and artisanship 100% made in Italy. An expression of the Maserati Fuoriserie personalisation programme, for our customers to create the car of their dreams: one-offs with the ability to combine unmistakable design, extraordinary performance, prestigious materials and the most extreme and refined creativity. Just as Maserati finds its roots in the spirit of granturismo, this special version of the Grecale is a tribute to Italian know-how, where every curve tells a story and every journey becomes an experience”.
