In a stunning display of Italian luxury and automotive artistry, Maserati has delivered two exceptional one-off vehicles to a prominent American entrepreneur in the biomedical industry. These masterpieces, the Quattroporte Grand Finale and the MC20 Iris, represent the pinnacle of Maserati's bespoke craftsmanship, embodying the brand’s dedication to exclusivity and precision. On July 31, against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Maggiore in Stresa, Maserati marked the end of an era with the Quattroporte Grand Finale. This vehicle is not just another luxury saloon; it’s the final Quattroporte to be equipped with the iconic V8 combustion engine, a fitting tribute to Maserati’s storied history. Clad in an elegant Blu Nobile exterior, this car is a blend of power and sophistication. The carbon fiber body kit, meticulously painted to match the deep blue tone, and brushed aluminum brake calipers add to its commanding presence on the road. Under the hood, the Quattroporte Grand Finale roars with a 572-horsepower V8 engine, a symbol of Maserati’s engineering prowess. Every detail has been customized, from the unique identification number "999999" etched onto the windscreen and driver door, to the bespoke engine cover signed by the Fuoriserie team and engineers who brought this vision to life. Inside, the vehicle is a sanctuary of luxury, paying homage to Italian artisanship. The interior features a steering wheel with burl wood accents, tan door panels, and a black leather A-pillar. The Trident logo, stitched in black on the headrests, and a leather-lined boot are just a few of the personalized touches that make this vehicle truly unique. The ‘Grand Finale’ badge on the central tunnel and the dedicated door sill further distinguish this Quattroporte as a final, unmatched icon of automotive excellence. Complementing the Quattroporte Grand Finale is the equally stunning MC20 Iris. This super sports car is a testament to Maserati’s innovative spirit, blending tradition with a forward-looking design. The MC20 Iris is distinguished by its AI Aqua Rainbow color scheme, a vibrant motif inspired by the rainbow (or "iris" in Latin), chosen by the discerning customer. This bold color extends from the exterior into the cabin, where it adorns the stitching on the armrest, central tunnel, and steering wheel. The meticulous attention to detail continues with the laser-cut ‘MC20 Iris’ lettering on the door sill and the uniquely colored steering wheel paddles. Even the engine compartment and boot bear the distinctive AI Aqua Rainbow stitching, emphasizing the vehicle’s bespoke nature. These two vehicles not only showcase Maserati’s unparalleled commitment to personalization through its Fuoriserie customization program but also highlight the brand’s future trajectory. The Quattroporte Grand Finale and MC20 Iris are more than just cars; they are symbols of Maserati's relentless pursuit of perfection and its ability to marry heritage with cutting-edge design. As the automotive world shifts towards new technologies, these creations remind us of the timeless appeal of Italian craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of the Maserati brand.
