Style Pioneer David Beckham Provides Personal Touch on Maserati Fuoriserie Essentials Collection

Maserati

The always-memorable models we provide here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis have long catered to a
luxe-aware and unique driver. This month, Tim Huber of the HiConsumption blog reported on the
exciting debut of the Fuoriserie Essentials Collection. No detail has been spared while partnering with
our loyal brand ambassadors that have their own affluent and eclectic reasons for loving the trident
brand, and style icon David Beckham is lending his expert hand with this collection’s details.
Italian for “Custom-Built”, the Fuoriserie collection draws esteemed inspiration from Beckham’s deep
love of stylish Savile Row Suits. This very unique collection also evokes the influence of Beckham’s
passion for some of the most stylish vintage Maserati sports cars, as is evident in the two-color hues
available for the DB essentials collection. There is a “Night Interaction Blue” sporting a tan leather
interior, and a very dark green “Verde Royale” livery complemented with a brown leather upholstery.
The former is based on the iconic 1967 Maserati Ghibli coupe, while the latter draws influence from the
1986 Maserati Quattroporte Royale.
The Quattroporte Royal only officially saw 51 units ever produced, and it was a special edition that was
an ultra-luxury version of the Quattroporte, which was a festive means of celebrating our 60 th birthday
that year. The Royale offered a 4.9-liter V8 that was cranking out 296 horsepower and a top speed of
147 mph, a feat of sheer bravado during the years when “Miami Vice” was situated at the top of the
Nielsen Ratings assortment. Each of these special cars can also be optioned with a large selection of
different items from the brand’s unique Fuorisserie Corse collection, which have all been influenced by
our longstanding racing heritage.
Both configurations are now available on request on the stunning MC20, and combine sportiness,
performance, and luxury tastes to render the Grecale SUV “everyday exceptional.” The MC20 was billed
by the Cnet auto review staff as “the visceral halo car Maserati deserves”, while claiming that the 8-
speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is perfectly in sync with the Nettuno 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.
Consistently rocketing forward with pure authority, the MC20 almost seems to shrink around you when
driven hard, signifying its relevance as a choice for this stylish collection.
The 2023 Maserati Grecale immediately won the top-tier approval of the Us News auto review team for
its beautiful trim, room enough for family-hauling, and excellent assortment of high-tech features. It’s
very relaxing and comfortable to drive, yet still provides exhilarating thrills through mandatory twists
and turns. The turbocharged engine options are particularly feisty and responsive, with the Trofeo’s V6
solidly establishing itself as the kingly star of the show. Facing off astutely with the likes of the BMX X3,
Mercedes-Benz GLC, and the Genesis GV70, the Grecale exclusively specializes in offering an
unforgettable driving experience at a price with some breathing room.
Over the past century, there have been so many opportunities for our brand’s ambassadors to take a
few monumental steps forward and be thrilled enough with the performance that they become a
beacon of inspiration for life. Embracing the polar opposite of mass-produced and not-so-magnetic, this
pair will exude originality and innovation at every turn. As the temperatures warm up and the city teems
with social events, we hope you make a test drive at Jim Butler a high priority during this wonderful
summer!

Growl. Glide. Glory: Maserati’s Grecale Trofeo Is Art on Four Wheels

In the world of automotive shoppers, some buy vehicles out of necessity, and others out of pure passion. The Maserati Grecale Trofeo was designed for the latter—drivers who crave more than just transportation. It’s for those who want to feel something every time they press the start button here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis. A Bold Departure from the Ordinary This isn’t your typical luxury SUV. The Grecale Trofeo isn’t for those seeking the safe, predictable options that dominate the market. Instead, it speaks to those who want something unique, a vehicle that stands apart from the usual German-dominated performance SUVs. Maserati offers a bold, refreshing alternative with this model, channeling Italy’s legacy of elegance and excitement. During a recent visit to Los Angeles, the Grecale Trofeo made every moment behind the wheel feel elevated. It certainly turned heads and made people pause, take a second look, while wondering what just drove by. The compliments from admirers tell you everything you need to know about its appeal. From the moment you slide into the driver’s seat, you feel a sense of occasion. It’s refined, stylish, and confidently different, blending performance with the unmistakable style of Maserati. If you're ready to break free from the ordinary, the Grecale Trofeo is ready to lead the way. Italian Design That Captivates Most crossover SUVs tend to blend together, but the Maserati Grecale stands out effortlessly. With smooth, sculpted lines and a confident silhouette, it embodies Italian charm without shouting for attention. Step inside, and the cabin impresses even more. Wrapped in buttery-soft Italian leather, it’s not just upscale—it’s indulgent, elevating every drive into something special. Performance That Thrills But the Grecale Trofeo is more than just good looks. It sets a new benchmark for performance in the luxury SUV segment. Nimble and poised, it reacts with precision, feeling more like a finely tuned sports car than a utility vehicle. Every movement feels smooth and controlled, anticipating your every command. The Trofeo delivers serious speed and agility. Whether carving through corners or accelerating onto the highway, it brings excitement with grace and composure. It’s fast but also fluid and refined—playful rather than aggressive. The Heart of the Beast: Nettuno V6 Engine At its heart is the Nettuno twin-turbo V6, a true Italian masterpiece born from Maserati’s racing DNA. This engine races through the rev range with virtually no turbo lag, offering a responsive, thrilling ride. The sound alone—rich and fluttery—turns any ordinary commute into something unforgettable. The Grecale Trofeo is built to deliver high-performance thrills and inspires you to embrace its full potential. Whether carving through winding canyon roads or enjoying an open highway, it excels in every environment, offering a driving experience that truly stands out. It's not just a daily driver; it's a performance machine that comes alive when given the space to unleash its capabilities. Luxury and Comfort Without Compromise Fuel economy, while solid for its class, can dip with spirited driving, especially in city traffic like Los Angeles. Inside, Maserati delivers a premium experience. Soft leather wraps every surface, while high-end materials and craftsmanship shine throughout. It feels substantial and stylish, with a satisfying thud when you close the doors. The Trofeo doesn’t forget comfort. The seats are plush yet supportive, making long drives or traffic-heavy commutes feel indulgent. Ride quality is composed, soaking up imperfections like the notorious L.A. freeway bumps with ease, especially in less aggressive suspension settings. This is more than just a luxury SUV—it’s a statement piece with heart-pounding performance and refined comfort in equal measure. Whether you're tackling a canyon run or enjoying a coast-to-coast cruise, the Grecale Trofeo elevates every journey. Intelligent Technology at Your Fingertips Thanks to its connection with Stellantis, Maserati benefits from one of the most user-friendly infotainment systems on the market. The Grecale Trofeo comes equipped with the Maserati Intelligent Assistant, a reimagined version of the Uconnect system. It’s quick, intuitive, and responsive, with crisp high-definition graphics and custom Maserati branding. The 12.3-inch touchscreen serves as the main command hub, while a secondary display below handles climate control and seat functions. The layout is sleek, though it can take some time to master the secondary screen, as it replaces traditional buttons. Once familiar, it’s a seamless experience that keeps the cabin clean and sophisticated. Practicality for Everyday Life In terms of size, the Grecale sits between compact luxury SUVs like the Porsche Macan and BMW X3. This gives it a well-balanced footprint with about 20 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row—more than a Macan, but just shy of larger rivals. With seats folded flat, you can expect plenty of space for everything from ski trips to cross-country hauls. In short, the Grecale Trofeo doesn’t just deliver style and speed—it offers brains and practicality as well. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or running errands, this Italian masterpiece has you covered. Come see what the excitement is all about. Visit Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis and take the Grecale Trofeo for a test drive. Your ordinary commute is about to become unforgettable.

2023 Maserati MC20 Cielo

Exoticism in Motion: The 2023 Maserati MC20's Agile Racecar Spirit

“Exotic” is used to describe so many of our past and present models here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis! The 2023 Maserati MC20 is one of those models that instantly conjures up a reaction, allowing whoever is glancing at it while it pulls up a few moments to take it in. The Car and Driver review team had claimed after their viewing that passers-by are “staring at it just like they do at Ferraris and Lamborghinis.” From the view out of the windshield to the delightfully raucous sounds of the untamed engine, this is a car made for diehard enthusiast drivers who can indulge in a car with sweeping and very charismatic character. For the MC20’s second model year, there is now a Cielo Spyder in the lineup, which features a retractable glass roof that electrically retracts in just 12 seconds. Most of the MC20’s sweet features come standard, but the optional front suspension lift mechanism is one savvy addition that situates the low nose in a position to easily conquer speed bumps. The famed “Nettuno” is the power source of the twin turbocharged V6 offering up power for this instantly legendary number, and it cranks out 621 horsepower. Its twin-combustion system is borrowed from Formula One race cars and paired with an incredibly smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. Its 207.6 horsepower per liter instantly renders it the most power-dense engine from a high-end supercar in existence. During Car and Driver’s speed testing, they blasted up to 60 mph with the MC20 in just 3.2 seconds, along with an 11-second quarter-mile at a top speed of 131 mph. On top of its segment-leading acceleration, the MC20’s handling can more than just “casually claim” that it is race-car sharp. Many experienced drivers who have been lucky enough to take a spin have claimed that the ride is amazingly compliant despite the car’s performance being the things that “normie brand” owners only dream of. So many future-leaning enthusiasts are asking about an electric variant, and the official statement has thus far been that one with all-wheel drive will be on the market soon. Once inside the butterfly-style doors, the MC20’s interior design went the route of only the most essential of controls populating the center console. Here you’ll also find leather seats with very sweet contrasting stitching, clean and classy aluminum pedals, and unique bits of carbon fiber trim. This is a car that is meant for taking corners with hard-boiled enthusiasm and finesse, so we admit off the bat that there are a few minor issues with rearward visibility! To aid with this task, there is a digital rear-view mirror that draws from a rear-facing camera. This feeds an image of anything pertinent behind the car to an inside rearview mirror that is mounted to the windshield. The Topgear.com review staff remarked that the thoroughly good stuff about the MC20 is drawn from “its fancy roof, simply gorgeous looks, absorbing drive, and quiet ride.” With its sworn outright rivals possessing a very stiff and harsh driving quality, they can pose frustration during the everyday drive. But when you get to edge in and tense the muscles along with giving it the chance to really blast open its lungs, it’s just “dastardly huge fun.” We are so very thrilled after the inspiring outcome and reviews of this release: everything about the MC20 is curvy, classical, striking, and consistently poised within the ideal and moment-savoring character.

2027 Maserati Grecale Trofeo

Ciao, Boring. Buongiorno, Grecale: Meet the Updated 2027 Maserati Grecale

The 2027 Maserati Grecale brings together the ingredients that have defined the marque for generations: Italian design, engaging performance, premium craftsmanship, and an unmistakable sense of occasion. For drivers searching for a luxury SUV that delivers genuine personality along with everyday versatility, the updated Grecale makes a compelling statement. For 2027, Maserati has refined the Grecale with updated styling, enhanced standard equipment, interior improvements, and a powerful twin-turbo V6 across the gas-powered lineup. The result is a luxury crossover that feels equally at home carving through winding roads or settling into a comfortable highway cruise here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis. The Grecale also demonstrates an important Maserati philosophy. An SUV can be practical enough for everyday life while still delivering the excitement that enthusiasts expect from an Italian performance vehicle. Andiamo! The Grecale Gets a Fresh New Look The 2027 Grecale receives subtle exterior updates that give its sophisticated design an even sharper presence. Revised front and rear styling adds fresh visual energy while preserving the distinctive proportions that make the Grecale immediately recognizable as a Maserati. The trident badge remains the centerpiece of the experience, but the Grecale's appeal extends far beyond its emblem. Sculpted bodywork, expressive lighting, and available large wheels give this SUV a confident stance from every angle. It is a design that feels distinctly Italian. Rather than blending into the luxury SUV crowd, the Grecale brings its own personality to the road. That character continues inside. Benvenuto to a Cabin Built Around Luxury Step into the 2027 Grecale and the premium atmosphere becomes immediately apparent. Maserati combines rich materials, elegant design, and modern technology to create a cabin that feels special without sacrificing everyday comfort. Even the entry-level Grecale receives an impressive collection of standard equipment. Features include a stitched synthetic-leather dashboard covering, power-adjustable front seats with memory settings, and 20-inch wheels. Higher trims elevate the experience even further with premium leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, genuine metal accents, and carefully crafted details throughout the cabin. The Modena trim adds heated front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, and a premium 14-speaker Sonus Faber audio system. The result is an environment designed to make everything from the morning commute to a long weekend drive feel more memorable. Maserati Put the V6 Front and Center For enthusiasts, the biggest story may be what happens under the hood. Maserati's twin-turbo V6 now powers the entire gas-powered Grecale lineup. The base model and Modena each receive a 385-horsepower version of the engine, while the range-topping Trofeo takes performance even further with 523 horsepower. That gives Grecale shoppers a remarkable range of performance personalities while keeping the unmistakable character of a Maserati V6 at the heart of the lineup. The Modena provides a particularly compelling balance. Its 385 horsepower gives the SUV plenty of energy, while Sport mode sharpens the experience for drivers ready to enjoy a more spirited drive. Forza! The Grecale Was Born for Curvy Roads The Grecale's performance story goes beyond horsepower. Its chassis is engineered to create a balanced, responsive driving experience. Steering inputs feel light and immediate, while the SUV remains composed when the road starts to twist and turn. That combination is exactly what makes a performance-oriented luxury crossover so appealing. The Grecale can provide excitement when the road opens up, yet it can settle into a relaxed rhythm when the destination is still hundreds of miles away. Sport mode adds another layer of personality, bringing the V6's character to the forefront. The exhaust note adds an unmistakable soundtrack to the experience, giving the Grecale the kind of emotional appeal that cannot be captured by a specification sheet alone. This is where Maserati's Italian heritage really shines. Dolce Vita Meets Daily Driving A performance SUV should not have to be exciting only when the pavement gets interesting. The 2027 Grecale is equally comfortable during relaxed driving. Switch into its more relaxed GT setting and the SUV delivers a smooth, well-damped ride that makes highway cruising particularly enjoyable. The cabin remains quiet and composed, allowing passengers to appreciate the premium surroundings while the Grecale handles the miles with ease. That dual personality is one of the Grecale's greatest strengths. It can be an engaging driver's SUV when the mood strikes, then transition into a refined luxury cruiser when the journey calls for something more relaxed. That is quintessential Maserati. Tecnologia With Italian Style The Grecale's technology is integrated into the cabin rather than simply added as an afterthought. A high-resolution central display works alongside a digital instrument cluster to provide drivers with important information and entertainment features. Built-in navigation is standard, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make smartphone connectivity seamless. The updated dashboard clock is particularly distinctive. Beyond displaying the time, it can serve as an information display with options including performance data, a compass, and a g-meter. That is a fun touch for an SUV with this much performance personality. The Grecale also surrounds the driver with modern convenience and driver-assistance technology. Depending on trim and configuration, shoppers can enjoy features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. Modena Adds Even More Italian Flair For drivers who want an especially well-equipped Grecale, the Modena trim builds on the already impressive foundation. Larger 21-inch wheels give the SUV an even stronger stance, while the Sonus Faber audio system creates a premium listening environment. Heated front seats add comfort, and additional technology helps make highway driving more relaxed. The Modena also maintains the 385-horsepower twin-turbo V6, creating an appealing combination of luxury and performance. It is the kind of vehicle that can make a simple drive feel like an occasion. Rare, Refined and Unmistakably Maserati Luxury is not simply about materials or technology. It is also about individuality. That is an area where the Grecale has a particularly strong personality. The trident emblem carries decades of Italian performance heritage, while the SUV's design gives that heritage a modern form. The result is a vehicle that feels exclusive without sacrificing the practicality expected from a modern crossover. For drivers who appreciate something beyond the ordinary, that distinction matters. La Dolce Vita Has Four Wheels The 2027 Maserati Grecale brings together Italian style, twin-turbo V6 performance, premium craftsmanship, advanced technology, and everyday comfort in one beautifully balanced SUV. It can deliver an exhilarating drive through winding roads, then settle into a refined highway cruiser for the journey home. It offers sophisticated design without losing its sporting character, and it brings the unmistakable presence of Maserati to a segment filled with luxury competitors. For drivers ready to experience la dolce vita from behind the wheel, the 2027 Maserati Grecale deserves a place at the top of the list.
