2017 Geneva Motor Show: Maserati GranTurismo Special Edition revealed

Maserati has revealed two limited special edition cars at the Geneva Motor Show. The new Maserati Levante SUV gets a premium interior cabin styled by Ermenegildo Zegna, while the Maserati GranTurismo ‘Special Edition’ gets many bespoke cosmetic features to celebrate 60 years of the GT name.

At the 87^th annual Geneva Motor Show, Maserati has debuted two cars at the show based on their current product line up. The first is the Maserati GranTurismo ‘Special Edition and the second is the Maserati Levante Ermenegildo Zegna.

The Maserati GranTurismo ‘Special Edition’ features new Poltrona Frau full leather or leather and Alcantara upholstery with interior stitching which is available in four colour combinations. The centre console, paddle shifters, instrument cluster garnish, panels on the dash and door trim strips are all have a carbon fibre finish. The piping on the floor mats will also match the colour combination you desire with door sills in carbon fibre with ‘Special Edition’ logo with the production number of the limited 400-unit run of the car.

The car will have a limited production run to celebrate the 60^th anniversary of the first Maserati Grand Touring car, the 3500 GT which also made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The car will be available in coupe and cabriolet forms and the main highlight of the exterior is the New Rosso Italiano three-layer paint for the exteriors, reinterpreting the red of Fangio’s 250F.

The car also gets other exterior changes which include three “extra campionario” new exterior paints available, in addition to the four typical Maserati range colours. You also get a carbon fibre hood, front splitter, door handles, side mirrors and rear lip spoiler, and MC-design 20-inch alloy wheels with a new Glossy Black finish.

The Maserati Levante SUV already has a plush premium interior all on its own from the factory. But the Italian marquee felt that it still needed a real designer touch. So they called in Italian luxury men’s wear designer, Ermenegildo Zegna to spruce up the interior even further.

The conceptual Ermenegildo Zegna of the Levante SUV gets a 100% ‘Chevon’ silk interior cockpit. The material as been developed specially for Maserati to deliver a heightened level of soft touch in beige colour. The upholstery fabric features a “Nattè” pattern on the door panels while the roof liner and the sun visors get a “jersey” design patters. The Top section of the dash is finished in full premium black leather and two other combinations are also available. To finish it all off, the ‘Zegna’ logo, is also highlighted in the interior.
