Jim Butler Maserati

The 2026 Maserati Grecale Trofeo represents the pinnacle of Maserati’s compact luxury SUV lineup, blending Italian performance heritage with everyday versatility in a way few vehicles can match. Designed for drivers who demand excitement without sacrificing refinement, the Grecale Trofeo brings supercar-inspired engineering into a beautifully tailored SUV that feels just as at home on a scenic highway as it does in daily traffic.

At the core of this flagship model is our celebrated 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6, a powerplant developed with racing DNA and precision craftsmanship here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis. Producing 523 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, this engine delivers immediate response and confident acceleration, supported by an eight-speed automatic transmission and Maserati’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The result is a driving experience that feels purposeful, composed, and unmistakably Maserati.

Powertrain And Performance That Elevate Every Drive

The Grecale Trofeo’s V6 engine is derived from the same engineering philosophy that powers Maserati’s high-performance sports cars. It provides a broad power band and smooth delivery that makes the vehicle feel effortlessly capable at any speed. Whether merging onto the highway or enjoying a winding back road, the Trofeo responds with authority and balance.

The all-wheel-drive system enhances traction and stability across changing road conditions, while the finely tuned chassis delivers a blend of agility and ride comfort that sets the Grecale Trofeo apart in its segment. Drivers consistently praise the way the vehicle feels planted and confident without sacrificing refinement. This balance makes the Trofeo a performance SUV that remains enjoyable every single day.

Italian Design That Turns Heads

From every angle, the Grecale Trofeo showcases unmistakable Maserati style. Sculpted body lines, an athletic stance, and signature LED lighting give the SUV a presence that is elegant and assertive. The bold front fascia proudly displays the Trident emblem, signaling performance pedigree and Italian craftsmanship.

Available 21-inch wheels further enhance the Trofeo’s dynamic appearance, while subtle performance accents distinguish it from other Grecale models. The design communicates motion even at a standstill, reflecting Maserati’s belief that performance should be as beautiful as it is powerful.

A Cabin Crafted For Luxury, Connection, And Performance

Inside the Grecale Trofeo, the focus shifts to comfort, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology. Premium materials, carefully selected textures, and precise detailing create an environment that feels both modern and timeless. The cabin is designed to welcome drivers and passengers alike, whether the journey lasts five minutes or five hours.

A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster anchors the driver’s view, offering crisp graphics and customizable displays. At the center of the dashboard sits a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, complemented by an 8.8-inch lower display dedicated to climate and comfort controls. This intuitive layout allows drivers to stay focused while enjoying seamless access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings.

Seating is supportive and inviting, designed to provide comfort during long drives while maintaining a sporty feel. Three-zone automatic climate control, ample storage solutions, and thoughtful interior layout make the Grecale Trofeo an SUV that feels genuinely easy to live with.

Technology That Enhances Every Moment

Maserati’s latest infotainment system delivers quick response and modern connectivity. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, allowing drivers to integrate their digital lives effortlessly. Voice control and intuitive menus further simplify everyday use.

With up to 21 speakers, the system transforms commutes and road trips alike into immersive listening experiences, reinforcing the sense that the Grecale Trofeo is designed for those who appreciate the finer details.

Confidence Through Advanced Driver Assistance

The 2026 Grecale Trofeo includes a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies designed to support confidence and peace of mind. Features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and automated emergency braking help reduce stress during long highway drives and busy city conditions.

Available enhancements such as matrix LED headlights and a head-up display further elevate the driving experience by improving visibility and keeping key information within the driver’s line of sight. These systems work seamlessly in the background, enhancing safety without intruding on the joy of driving.

Practical Versatility Without Compromise On Performance

Despite its performance focus, the Grecale Trofeo remains a true SUV in terms of usability. The rear cargo area offers approximately 20 cubic feet of space, providing ample room for luggage, groceries, or weekend gear. A flat load floor improves convenience, while rear seating accommodates adult passengers comfortably.

Owners frequently describe the Grecale Trofeo as an ideal balance between excitement and practicality. It delivers the thrill expected from a Maserati while supporting real-world needs such as commuting, travel, and family outings.

Loved By Drivers, Admired For Its Character

Maserati drivers often speak about more than just performance. Many describe an emotional connection, highlighting the sound, feel, and sense of occasion that comes with every drive. The Grecale Trofeo continues this tradition, offering an experience that feels special each time the engine starts.

Enthusiasts consistently point to Maserati’s ability to combine soul and sophistication, creating vehicles that stand out not only for how they perform, but for how they make drivers feel. The Grecale Trofeo embodies this philosophy, delivering confidence, excitement, and pride of ownership. Maserati’s long-standing commitment to craftsmanship and character fuels that emotional connection. 

Every detail of the Trofeo engages the driver, from the throttle response to the refined feedback through the steering wheel. It is an SUV that encourages longer drives and rewards attention, turning routine trips into memorable moments. For many owners, the Grecale Trofeo becomes more than transportation. It becomes a reflection of personal style and passion, offering a driving experience that feels intentional, engaging, and unmistakably Italian every time it takes to the road.

For those seeking an SUV that rises above the ordinary and delivers a driving experience rooted in heritage and innovation, the Grecale Trofeo stands as a confident and rewarding choice.

Grecale

In a segment crowded with well-built but emotionally distant vehicles, the Maserati Grecale stands apart. This compact luxury SUV brings Italian passion into daily driving, proving that practicality and excitement can coexist beautifully. Designed for drivers who want comfort, technology, and space without giving up the thrill of driving, the Grecale delivers a truly distinctive experience every time it starts up.

Many luxury SUVs excel at being sensible. They offer strong safety ratings, efficient powertrains, and polished interiors. What they often lack is personality. The Grecale fills that gap by offering something rare in this class here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis: a sense of occasion. It is an SUV that turns everyday routines into something memorable, whether navigating city traffic or cruising down an open highway.

Italian Design That Makes an Impression

The Grecale is instantly recognizable as a Maserati. From the bold grille featuring the iconic trident to the sculpted body lines and signature side vents, every angle reflects the brand’s performance heritage. The long hood and athletic stance give it a presence that feels purposeful rather than generic.

This design philosophy carries through in subtle but meaningful ways. The Grecale looks refined without being understated, expressive without being overdone. It is the kind of vehicle that draws attention naturally and rewards a second glance, setting it apart in parking lots filled with familiar shapes.

Grecale Performance With Genuine Character

The Maserati Grecale lineup offers a range of turbocharged powertrains designed to balance everyday usability with thrilling performance. Each engine option delivers smooth, confident acceleration and a driving feel that encourages engagement rather than isolation.

Power delivery is responsive and satisfying, making highway merges and passing maneuvers effortless. The available high-performance variant brings a deeper connection to Maserati’s racing DNA, offering an exhilarating surge of power that feels more like a sports car than a traditional SUV.

What truly defines the Grecale’s performance is its character. The sound, the throttle response, and the way the vehicle reacts to driver input all work together to create a rewarding experience. The Grecale rewards drivers who enjoy the act of driving itself, not just the destination.

A Cabin Designed to Feel Special

Step inside the Grecale, and the difference is immediately clear. The interior blends modern technology with classic Italian craftsmanship. Premium materials, detailed stitching, and carefully selected finishes create an atmosphere that feels upscale and inviting.

The layout is intuitive and driver-focused, with a digital instrument display and a dual-screen infotainment system that places essential controls within easy reach. Wireless smartphone integration allows seamless access to navigation, music, and communication, keeping drivers connected without distraction.

Available premium audio elevates every drive, transforming commutes and road trips into immersive listening experiences. The cabin is quiet and refined, yet never disconnected from the road, striking a balance that suits both relaxed cruising and spirited driving.

Maserati Grecale: Space and Comfort for Everyday Life

While performance and design capture attention, the Grecale also excels where it matters most for daily use. The cabin offers generous space for passengers, including comfortable rear seating that accommodates adults with ease. Thoughtful storage solutions and a practical cargo area make it well suited for families, professionals, and active lifestyles.

Whether carrying luggage for a weekend getaway or managing daily errands, the Grecale adapts effortlessly. The rear seats fold to expand cargo capacity, offering flexibility without sacrificing comfort or style.

Ride quality is smooth and composed, designed to handle city streets and longer journeys with equal confidence. Adaptive suspension and multiple drive modes allow the Grecale to shift its personality based on driving conditions and personal preference.

Technology That Enhances the Drive

Advanced driver assistance systems support confidence on every journey, helping drivers stay aware and in control. These features work quietly in the background, enhancing safety while allowing the driving experience to remain engaging.

The infotainment system is responsive and easy to navigate, offering a modern interface that complements the Grecale’s premium feel. Climate controls, vehicle settings, and connectivity options are all designed to simplify everyday use.

The Grecale: A Distinctive Alternative in a Competitive Segment

The compact luxury SUV category is one of the most competitive in the market, yet the Maserati Grecale brings something genuinely different. Where others focus purely on efficiency and predictability, the Grecale emphasizes emotion, design, and driving enjoyment.

It offers the space and convenience expected from a luxury SUV while delivering a sense of individuality that many competitors simply cannot match. The Grecale is not designed to blend in. It is designed to be remembered.

A Maserati That Fits Real Life

The Grecale represents a new chapter for Maserati, bringing the brand’s performance heritage into a format that works seamlessly with modern life. It is compact enough for urban environments, versatile enough for family responsibilities, and dynamic enough to excite drivers who value engagement behind the wheel.

This is an SUV for those who want more than transportation. It is for drivers who appreciate craftsmanship, who value how a vehicle feels as much as how it functions, and who want every drive to feel intentional.

Final Thoughts

The Maserati Grecale proves that practicality does not have to come at the expense of passion. It delivers comfort, technology, and versatility while preserving the spirit that has defined Maserati for generations.

For drivers seeking a luxury SUV that offers both everyday usability and unmistakable character, the Grecale stands as a compelling choice. It transforms routine drives into experiences and reminds drivers why they fell in love with cars in the first place.

GranTurismo

The 2026 Maserati GranTurismo stands as a pure and confident expression of what the Maserati name represents. From its sculpted Italian design to its richly appointed interior and thrilling twin turbo V6 performance, this grand touring coupe is engineered to excite the senses while delivering effortless long distance comfort. It is a vehicle designed not just to be driven, but to be enthusiastically put to the test here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis. 

From Luxury Arrivals to Mountain Switchbacks

At a glance, the GranTurismo commands attention. Its flowing proportions, wide stance, and unmistakable Maserati design cues make it a standout on any road. Every line serves a purpose, blending elegance with athletic intent. This is a coupe that looks just as at home pulling up to a luxury resort as it does carving through winding mountain roads. The design balances beauty and aggression in a way only Maserati can achieve.

For 2026, the GranTurismo receives thoughtful enhancements that further elevate its appeal. A newly tuned sport exhaust system now comes standard across the lineup, enhancing the vehicle’s already evocative soundtrack. It delivers a rich, engaging tone that reflects Maserati’s motorsports heritage while remaining refined during everyday driving. 

The GranTurismo: Power Delivered Through Precision Engineering

In addition, the new Meccanica Lirica package adds a bold visual statement with distinctive badging, unique wheel designs, and a beautifully coordinated interior color theme inspired by Italian craftsmanship. Carefully curated exterior color recommendations highlight the vehicle’s sculptural form and reinforce its exclusivity.

Under the hood, a twin turbocharged 3.0 liter V6, from Maserati’s cutting edge performance engineering, powers the GranTurismo. This engine features advanced combustion technology with roots in Formula 1, delivering strong power and a characterful sound across the rev range. Two gas powered configurations are available, each paired with a smooth shifting eight speed automatic transmission and a confidence inspiring all wheel drive system. 

From Relaxed Cruising to Full Engagement

The result is a coupe that feels composed and responsive in all driving conditions. Driving modes allow the GranTurismo to adapt seamlessly to the road ahead. In Comfort mode, the standard air suspension provides a smooth and controlled ride, ideal for daily driving or extended highway travel. GT mode strikes a perfect balance between performance and refinement, making it an ideal choice for most situations. 

Switch to Corsa mode, and the GranTurismo sharpens its responses, delivering more immediate steering feel, firmer suspension tuning, and an even more engaging exhaust note. This flexibility allows drivers to tailor the experience to their mood and surroundings. Performance is a core part of the GranTurismo’s identity, yet it never comes at the expense of comfort. 

Acceleration is quick and confident, allowing the coupe to merge effortlessly onto highways or power out of corners with ease. The chassis feels planted and well balanced, inspiring confidence whether cruising or driving with enthusiasm. 

Everyday Usability Wrapped in Italian Style

This is a grand tourer in the truest sense, built to cover long distances quickly and comfortably while keeping the driver fully engaged. Inside the cabin, the GranTurismo surrounds occupants with premium materials and refined Italian design. Every surface reflects attention to detail, from the leather upholstery to the precise stitching and carefully selected trim elements. The front seats provide comfort and support, making long journeys feel effortless. Excellent outward visibility adds to the sense of control and ease behind the wheel.

The GranTurismo features a classic two plus two layout, offering additional flexibility for carrying passengers or personal items. The rear seating area is ideal for children, storage, or essentials, while the trunk provides ample room for weekend luggage. This versatility reinforces the GranTurismo’s role as a luxury coupe built for real world use as well as spirited driving.

Intuitive Technology Designed Around the Driver

Technology plays a central role in the GranTurismo’s interior experience. A large central touchscreen houses Maserati’s Google based infotainment system, offering intuitive access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity come standard, allowing seamless integration with smartphones. A separate climate control display ensures easy adjustments without distraction, while an available head up display keeps key information directly in the driver’s line of sight.

Music lovers will appreciate the available premium audio systems crafted by Italian sound specialist Sonus Faber. These systems boast a custom design for the GranTurismo’s cabin, delivering rich, immersive sound quality that enhances every drive. Whether enjoying a favorite playlist or the natural soundtrack of the engine, the experience feels unmistakably Maserati.

Luxury and Performance In The GranTurismo, Now Open to the Elements

The design integrates safety and driver assistance features to support confidence behind the wheel. Standard technologies include automated emergency braking and parking sensors, while available packages add advanced features such as blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane assistance. These systems are designed to work smoothly in the background, providing added reassurance without detracting from the driving experience.

For those who prefer open air motoring, Maserati also offers the GranCabrio, which delivers the same performance and luxury with a retractable soft top. It provides an alternative way to enjoy the GranTurismo spirit while embracing the elements.

The 2026 Maserati GranTurismo is more than a luxury sports coupe. It is a statement of style, performance, and craftsmanship that reflects the soul of the Maserati brand. Designed for drivers who appreciate beauty, power, and refinement in equal measure, the GranTurismo continues a legacy that blends Italian passion with modern engineering. This vehicle thrives on long roads, unforgettable journeys, and the simple joy of driving.

MCPURA

There are moments in the automotive world when innovation, heritage, and pure driving passion meet in one place. Experiencing the Maserati lineup, powered by the Nettuno V6, at a facility built for speed and precision offers exactly that! We continue to push our modern identity forward here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis, and the current family of vehicles reflects that commitment beautifully. 

From the refined GranTurismo and open-air GranCabrio to the versatile Grecale and the head-turning MCPURA, each model demonstrates how far Maserati performance has come. Yet one connecting thread ties these vehicles together in a remarkable way. Every one of them is powered by the handcrafted twin-turbo Nettuno V6, Maserati’s extraordinary centerpiece of modern engineering. The HotCars.com staff put the GT2 Stradale through its paces at The Concours Club in Miami, a setting that allowed every detail of its performance to shine. 

The MCPURA and the Evolution of Maserati Super Sports Cars

The MCPURA carries forward the spirit of the acclaimed MC20, yet it brings a heightened focus on the relationship between driver and machine. Its foundation is familiar: the breathtaking 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6. Developed and assembled in Modena, the Nettuno engine showcases an uncompromising approach to performance. It features a 90-degree architecture, dry-sump lubrication, and an impressive 11:1 compression ratio that places it in true motorsport territory.

What defines the engine even further is its pre-chamber combustion technology. This system ignites a concentrated mixture inside a dedicated chamber, sending a high-energy flame into the main cylinder. The result is astonishingly quick combustion, thrilling throttle response, an 8,000-rpm ceiling, and the unmistakable character that Maserati drivers love. Its 620-plus horsepower and robust torque curve create an experience that feels alive at every moment.

The MCPURA retains the MC20’s carbon-fiber monocoque, rear-wheel-drive layout, and quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission. Its specifications mirror the outgoing model in the most important ways, yet its aero refinements and design updates highlight Maserati’s dedication to continuous improvement.

Aerodynamic Mastery on the Track

Seeing the MCPURA in motion is a reminder of how thoughtfully Maserati approaches every contour and surface. More than two thousand hours of wind-tunnel testing shaped this model, and the results are immediately apparent. The vehicle is divided visually into an elegant upper section and a purpose-built lower half. This creates a clean, sculpted profile without relying on exaggerated wings or oversized vents. The hood and side intakes integrate seamlessly into the body, directing air toward the intercoolers while maintaining its smooth silhouette.

The underbody is fully faired and features vortex generators that guide airflow toward a precision-engineered rear diffuser. Even the carbon-fiber monocoque and wheel arches were refined to enhance stability and cooling. A subtle rear lip spoiler provides just the right amount of downforce while preserving the car’s timeless design.

On a proper performance circuit, these details come alive. High-speed curves feel planted. Late-braking moments are confident. Heat management remains consistent. The MCPURA moves with a fluid balance that reflects the hours of development behind it. Each lap is an illustration of what happens when design and engineering share the same objective.

Experiencing the GT2 Stradale Up Close

Another exciting moment came when the GT2 Stradale entered the track. This model represents the most powerful road-going internal-combustion Maserati offered to date. It blends the sophistication expected from the brand with the exhilaration of a machine inspired directly by competition. The GT2 Stradale is the road-legal interpretation of the GT2 race car, and it channels that heritage with striking authenticity.

Powered by a version of the Nettuno V6 tuned for peak performance, the GT2 Stradale delivers more than 630 horsepower and accelerates with incredible intensity. Its aerodynamic package transforms the experience even further. A deep front splitter, flat underbody, rear diffuser, and adjustable wing work together to generate an impressive level of downforce. At speed, the car settles into the track surface with the confidence of a true race-bred performer.

Riding in the GT2 Stradale is an unforgettable moment. It corners with precision, reacts instantly to throttle inputs, and releases its power down the straights with unmistakable authority. The sensation captures the essence of Maserati’s motorsport lineage, brought into a form that drivers can enjoy every day they choose to.

A Final Run in the GranTurismo

The day continued with time behind the wheel of the GranTurismo Trofeo, a grand tourer that blends long-distance comfort with genuine track capability. While its character differs from the MCPURA and GT2 Stradale, its performance nature is unmistakable. Its balance, responsiveness, and elegant confidence reflect why the GranTurismo remains such an iconic nameplate. Most owners may never take it to a circuit, but knowing it thrives there adds another layer of pride to the experience.

The Nettuno Heartbeat of Modern Maserati

Switching between these three extraordinary vehicles highlights something very special. The Nettuno V6 is more than an engine. It is the identity of Maserati’s modern performance era. Each model uses it differently, yet the signature feel remains consistent. The sharp throttle engagement, the smooth and uninterrupted power delivery, the unmistakable sound, and the sense of connection all define what makes these cars genuinely Maserati.

As the track day wrapped up, one takeaway stood above all others. Maserati is crafting a lineup with purpose, innovation, and enthusiasm for the future. The brand is moving confidently toward a new era of performance, and every model reflects that direction with unmistakable clarity. The experience on the circuit made it even more evident that Maserati’s engineering philosophy is delivering something truly exciting for drivers who appreciate craftsmanship, emotion, and performance in perfect harmony.

Lumina Blu

The Maserati Grecale Lumina Blu arrives as a special series designed to elevate every moment on the road. It brings together an exclusive finish, a richly crafted interior, and a suite of advanced features that showcase the brand’s dedication to Italian luxury and cutting-edge performance. This edition builds upon the celebrated Grecale Modena while adding signature touches that set it apart as one of the most captivating variations in the lineup here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis.

The exterior of the Lumina Blu makes a bold impression through its Night Interaction paint, a deep and expressive metallic tone that shifts beautifully in changing light conditions. This distinctive color highlights the sculpted character of the SUV and gives the body a look that feels both refined and daring. Whether parked or in motion, the finish amplifies the elegance and athletic stance that Maserati is known for worldwide.

Natural Wood Accents Meet Contemporary Sport Design

Enhancing the presence of the vehicle are 21-inch Pegaso wheels that contribute to a strong and confident posture. Yellow brake calipers add an eye-catching contrast while the yellow Trident emblem on the C-pillar signals the exclusive identity of this special series. Matrix LED headlights sharpen the visual signature in the front, and tinted rear windows complete the look with a sleek and sophisticated touch. Together, these elements create a harmonious balance between style and performance appeal.

The interior of the Grecale Lumina Blu continues this feeling of elevated refinement. Every detail reflects the artistry of Italian craftsmanship. Buyers can select between premium Chocolate leather or Ghiaccio leather, both offering a rich and inviting atmosphere. These materials are complemented by open-pore burl wood accents that introduce warmth and natural texture to the cabin. The sporty steel pedal box adds a modern detail that enhances the dynamic nature of the SUV.

Light, Space, and Luxury Meet in a Thoughtfully Styled Interior

The cabin presents an ideal fusion of comfort and technology. The panoramic roof fills the interior with natural light, creating an open and inviting environment. A motion-sensor electric tailgate adds convenience during daily tasks, while the front seats bring exceptional comfort with heating, cooling, and versatile adjustments. 

Drivers who choose the Ghiaccio leather configuration enjoy 14-way power adjustment, giving them an even more tailored seating experience. The heated steering wheel adds another layer of comfort during cooler days, and the 360-degree Surround View camera provides added visibility in tight spaces, enriching the sense of confidence and control behind the wheel. Powering the Grecale Lumina Blu is a 2.0-liter mild-hybrid turbo engine that delivers smooth and responsive performance. 

The engine works seamlessly with an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system that includes a mechanical limited-slip rear differential. This combination produces effortless acceleration and consistent capability, creating a driving experience that feels refined and exhilarating in all conditions. The mild-hybrid system enhances both efficiency and everyday performance, demonstrating Maserati’s commitment to advanced engineering that supports modern driving needs.

A Model Lineup That Defines Modern Italian Luxury

Maserati’s history of crafting distinctive vehicles is reflected in the philosophy behind the Grecale Lumina Blu. The brand creates automobiles with unmistakable character that people recognize around the world. Design, innovation, and exclusivity come together across the entire range, setting high expectations for performance, comfort, elegance, and safety. Maserati vehicles are present in over 70 markets, carrying forward a tradition of Italian excellence.

The current lineup offers a diverse selection of models that each embody the spirit of the Trident. The Grecale SUV stands as an example of versatility and style. The GranTurismo continues the legacy of the Italian grand tourer with sculpted lines and advanced powertrains. The GranCabrio brings open-air freedom to the experience with the same attention to luxury and craftsmanship.

A Legacy Preserved, A Future Customized

The brand’s performance-focused MC family showcases Maserati’s connection to racing heritage. The MCPURA coupe and MCPURA Cielo convertible are equipped with the pioneering V6 Nettuno engine, which draws from Formula 1 technology to create an exceptional power unit for the street. Maserati further demonstrates its motorsport DNA through the GT2 Stradale, a road-ready version of the GT2 race car, and the limited-production MCXtrema, designed exclusively for track enthusiasts who seek the highest level of performance.

Maserati continues to push the boundaries of luxury mobility by listening closely to the evolving needs of drivers. Customization programs like Maserati Fuoriserie allow owners to create a vehicle that aligns with their individual taste. The Maserati Classiche initiative preserves and celebrates the brand’s historical models, ensuring that classic Maseratis remain appreciated and supported. The Maserati Corse racing program continues to build excitement around the brand’s competitive capabilities.

Exclusivity You Can Feel in Every Detail

The Maserati Grecale Lumina Blu represents this vision of innovation and craftsmanship working together. It is more than a special edition. It is a refined expression of Maserati’s dedication to creating vehicles that stand out through design, comfort, and performance. From the expressive exterior to the handcrafted interior and advanced technology package, every element has been selected to enhance the driving experience and surround passengers with authentic Italian luxury.

For drivers who value sophistication, capability, and unmistakable style, the Grecale Lumina Blu offers a compelling option. It combines the heritage of Maserati with the needs of today’s discerning automotive enthusiast, creating a vehicle that feels contemporary and timeless at the same time. As a special series, it delivers a rare blend of exclusivity and practicality, making it an ideal choice for those who want an SUV that rises above the ordinary.

Bruciato

The Maserati Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato offers a striking new collaboration that blends Italian automotive mastery with winemaking heritage. This exclusive model emerged from the Italian luxury automaker’s Fuoriserie personalization program, in partnership with the esteemed winemaking house Marchesi Antinori and its renowned Il Bruciato wine. 

The result is a vehicle that honors Italian craftsmanship, evoking the terroir of Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, while delivering our signature performance and elegance here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis.

At Maserati, the project is described as “a tribute to Italy, to the region, to the authentic beauty of Bolgheri, a gem on the Tuscan coast, and to one of its most iconic labels.” The synergy between winemaking and automotive design becomes tangible: just as fine wine reflects the land from which it comes, this special-edition Grecale is engineered to reflect refined Italian style, detail and passion.

Design & Visual Identity

The exterior distinguishes itself in a bespoke finish known as “Alchimia Scarlatta,” a deep red paint with Chromaflair pigment that shifts between burgundy, copper-gold and dark raspberry tones depending on the light. Visual cues continue with 21-inch Pegaso Forgiati or Crio Fuoriserie wheels, gloss-black accents, and blacked-out brake calipers bearing the Fuoriserie signature. Acceptance of this unusual but bold aesthetic shows how a luxury vehicle can become a moving work of art.

Inside, the cabin features two-tone leather upholstery in tan and dark red hues, intricate “cannelloni” ribbing on the seats, contrasting stitching and a subtle Trident emblem on the headrests. A 14-speaker Sonus Faber audio system adds a sensory dimension that compliments the sight-lines and finishes. The special edition conveys not just performance, but premium ambience.

Performance & Emotion 

While technical specifications may mirror other models in the Grecale line, its emotional appeal and craftsmanship sets this edition apart. Owner impressions of the Grecale platform in general are glowing. One customer shared:

“The steering is precise and the chassis tightly tuned. The car feels very agile and it’s fun to drive.” Grecale Forum

Another praised the audio system:

“The 3D-sound creates an incredible sound stage … I can really highly recommend it.” Grecale Forum

Those kinds of comments underline that this vehicle isn’t simply about statistics; it’s about the whole experience. At a St. Louis dealership, where buyers often seek a luxurious daily driver and weekend escape vehicle in one, that combination resonates strongly.

Appeal & Exclusivity

Collaborations between automotive houses and other luxury sectors, such as wines, watches or fashion, often signify a desire to elevate the vehicle beyond transportation into a lifestyle statement. In this case, Maserati’s tribute to Il Bruciato wine captures that spirit. As one press article noted:

“The Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato is a limited edition, or as Maserati prefers to call it, ‘a series of one-offs.’” Carscoops

While production numbers and pricing remain undisclosed, the special edition is clearly tailored for those seeking rarity, artisanal finishes and a connection to Italian culture, all wrapped within a performance SUV body.

Why It Works for St. Louis Buyers

In a region like Greater St. Louis, where drivers value a blend of urban refinement and suburban adaptability, this Grecale edition hits multiple notes. The styling turns heads in the Central West End or Clayton, while the SUV form provides practicality for daily drives, lane changes and family logistics. It speaks both to enthusiasts who appreciate bold design and to buyers who desire a luxury car with a distinct story behind it.

Customer reviews of the standard Grecale reinforce its appeal. One user commented:

“I’ve had a lot of cars from all the usual luxury manufacturers, and no other car has held my attention and interest as this Grecale.” Grecale Forum

That sense of emotional investment matters, particularly when choosing a luxury vehicle that likely becomes a daily companion.

Craftsmanship & Storytelling

The link to Marchesi Antinori and the terroir of Bolgheri gives the Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato storytelling depth. At Maserati, the design team described the project as echoing the “elegant dynamism of the House of the Trident” and “the decisive character of Il Bruciato wine.” The craftsmanship is visible in the rich paint, bespoke leather, audio system and engineering detail. 

For a buyer accustomed to fine distinctions, between leather hides, wheel finishes or interior ambient lighting, these subtle touches matter.

Summary

For luxury buyers in the St. Louis area seeking a vehicle with both performance and personality, the Maserati Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato stands out. Its SUV silhouette provides versatility while its Italian-wine-inspired design ensures exclusivity. It is luxury tailored with precision, marrying heritage and horsepower in one striking package.

The vehicle demonstrates how Maserati continues to evolve, not just with raw performance, but with rich cultural collaborations, premium materials and distinctive styling that resonate with discerning drivers. Whether navigating urban streets or cruising across the Midwest, the experience is elevated.

For those ready to explore the intersection of Italian craftsmanship and modern driving, a visit to our Jim Butler showroom will reveal how this special-edition model brings the essence of Tuscany into daily life.

MCPURA

The 2026 Maserati MCPURA is more than a name; it’s a statement of performance, design, and legacy. This new evolution of Maserati’s celebrated mid-engine platform carries forward everything that made the MC20 a landmark for the brand, while adding a distinct sense of style and exclusivity. 

Inspired by Maserati’s GT2 Stradale race car, the MCPURA receives reimagined front and rear fascia designs, a striking new signature color called AI Aqua Rainbow, and an interior that embraces the tactile luxury of Alcantara. It also introduces a redesigned steering wheel, bringing the driver closer to the experience of precision driving our brand is known for here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis. 

The original MC20 marked Maserati’s triumphant return to the world of mid-engine performance cars, a lineage that traces back to the iconic Merak of the 1970s. The MCPURA continues that journey, combining the artistry of Italian design with cutting-edge engineering. Whether configured as a sleek coupe or the open-air Cielo convertible, this car captures the perfect balance between high-performance athleticism and refined grand touring comfort.

The Heart of the MCPURA

Powering the MCPURA is Maserati’s extraordinary 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6. This handcrafted engine is a marvel of technology, featuring a dry-sump lubrication system and producing an impressive 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The power flows through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that delivers lightning-quick gear changes and a seamless rush of acceleration. This configuration channels its performance directly to the rear wheels, giving drivers a sense of pure connection to the road.

The lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is the foundation of the MCPURA’s agility and strength. Aluminum subframes at the front and rear secure the suspension, steering components, and the powertrain, while keeping weight low and rigidity high. Maserati’s team designed the structure to accommodate the convertible’s retractable glass roof, ensuring minimal weight difference between coupe and Cielo. The Cielo adds just 259 pounds over the coupe, an impressive feat that preserves balance and responsiveness.

Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and a sophisticated multilink suspension system give the MCPURA the stopping power and cornering precision that define world-class supercars. The Cielo’s suspension tuning has been slightly adjusted to maintain handling consistency with the roof mechanism’s added mass, while the electronic differential calibration optimizes stability and smooth steering input.

Intelligent Drive Modes

The MCPURA adapts to the driver’s intent through four carefully tuned drive modes: Wet, GT, Sport, and Corsa. Each mode fine-tunes the throttle response, transmission behavior, and suspension stiffness for the perfect blend of comfort and control. A press and hold of the center rotary controller engages Corsa mode, designed for track-level performance. Suspension firmness can be toggled between soft, medium, and firm depending on the chosen drive mode, offering flexibility from daily comfort to full dynamic precision.

A simple swipe across the glass surface of the controller adjusts these settings. A single button shifts between automatic and manual transmission modes. This streamlined approach creates an intuitive cockpit that feels modern, minimalistic, and entirely focused on the driver.

A Cockpit Crafted for Purity

Inside, the MCPURA’s interior expresses the spirit of Italian craftsmanship in its purest form. Alcantara covers nearly every surface, including the seats, dashboard, and door panels. This material not only reduces glare but also saves weight and heightens the tactile experience. Laser-cut detailing reveals contrasting hues beneath the surface, adding visual intrigue without distraction.

A redesigned steering wheel features a flattened top for improved forward visibility, keeping the digital instrument cluster fully in view. The minimalist center console places the essentials within easy reach: controls for drive selection, window operation, and audio adjustment, as well as the rotary drive-mode selector. This uncluttered layout emphasizes simplicity and control, both hallmarks of Maserati’s driver-centric philosophy.

The retractable glass roof opens or closes in 12 seconds, transforming the MCPURA from coupe to open grand tourer seamlessly. Every element of this system is engineered for balance, precision, and long-term reliability, another reflection of Maserati’s commitment to excellence.

A Supercar That Thrills

On the road, the MCPURA delivers a breathtaking experience. Maserati estimates a 0–60 mph sprint in under three seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200 mph. Those numbers only hint at the sensation of acceleration the car provides. The Nettuno engine’s power delivery is smooth, linear, and urgent, producing an unmistakable sound that intensifies as the revs climb.

Thanks to the dual-clutch transmission’s quick reflexes and the chassis’ exceptional balance, the MCPURA feels precise yet forgiving, equally at home carving through a winding back road or cruising on a grand tour. The steering is crisp and communicative, and the car’s composure through corners showcases its race-bred DNA.

Maserati designed this supercar not only for the racetrack but for real-world driving pleasure. Its adjustable suspension, refined interior, and intelligent traction systems make it one of the few mid-engine exotics capable of delivering everyday usability without sacrificing performance.

The Essence of Italian Engineering

Every MCPURA is built by hand at Maserati’s historic factory on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena, Italy, a site that has produced Maseratis for over eight decades. Limited annual production ensures exclusivity, allowing each car to receive the meticulous attention to detail that defines Italian craftsmanship.

The name “MCPURA” reflects more than just its lineage. It signals a dedication to pure driving: an authentic connection between car, driver, and road. Maserati has confirmed that the Nettuno V6 will remain in production well into the next decade. This ensures that this era of exhilarating internal combustion continues to thrive even as the automotive world evolves.

From Modena to Missouri: The Maserati Spirit Lives On

The MCPURA embodies the best of both worlds: timeless Italian design and advanced modern engineering. From its carbon-fiber core to its Alcantara-lined cockpit, every element of this vehicle serves a purpose: to create an unforgettable driving experience. It represents the essence of Maserati: power, beauty, and purity, all working together in harmony.

For St. Louis enthusiasts seeking something truly special, the 2026 Maserati MCPURA delivers more than performance; it delivers presence. Whether parked in the valet line or driving down a highway, it’s a symbol of refined passion and engineering mastery. This is not simply a car. It is a continuation of a legacy that began in Modena and continues today, redefined for a new generation of driving purists.

GranTurismo

The Maserati GranTurismo stands as one of the purest expressions of Italian grand touring excellence. Even as the brand continues to expand into SUVs, supercars, and electrified models, the GranTurismo and its open-air sibling, the GranCabrio, remain at the heart of what our brand represents: timeless design, emotional performance, and a deeply refined driving experience.

For 2025, the GranTurismo continues its second-generation evolution, blending tradition with innovation in a way few vehicles can. This beautifully sculpted two-door coupe delivers the perfect harmony between exhilarating power and everyday elegance. Whether gliding down Highway 40 through St. Louis or carving through the rolling countryside of Show-Me-State wine country, the GranTurismo transforms each drive into something unforgettable at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis. 

The Familiar GranTurismo With a Modern Edge

Experience the heart of Italian performance. The Maserati GranTurismo remains a masterpiece of design and engineering, built on an innovative platform introduced in 2024. The 2025 model lets you feel every mile with the exhilarating power and sound of its twin-turbo V6 engine.

Maserati has stayed true to the GranTurismo’s heritage of grace and grand touring confidence. Every curve of the exterior feels sculpted by motion itself: low, wide, and undeniably Italian. It’s a shape that looks just as stunning pulling up to a downtown restaurant in Clayton as it does gliding along the Great River Road at sunset.

Performance That Feels Alive

At the core of the GranTurismo lineup is the Nettuno engine, Maserati’s own 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 masterpiece. In the Modena trim, this engine produces 483 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, while the Trofeo version amplifies the thrill with 542 horsepower and 479 lb-ft. Both are paired with an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, delivering instant traction and commanding acceleration. Its adaptive air suspension and advanced chassis control systems harmonize comfort and control, ensuring a refined ride on St. Louis’s scenic backroads or the open interstate.

A Cabin Crafted for the Senses

Step inside the GranTurismo, and the atmosphere immediately shifts. The cabin embodies Maserati’s dedication to artistry and performance. Every surface is finished in fine Italian materials. Leather, Alcantara, and metal accents that blend seamlessly into the brand’s modern design language.

The driver’s cockpit is anchored by a 12.3-inch primary display for infotainment, positioned above an 8.8-inch touchscreen for climate and vehicle settings. This dual-screen setup creates a sleek, futuristic aesthetic while keeping key functions within effortless reach. A 12.2-inch digital gauge cluster delivers crystal-clear driving information, and Maserati’s signature digital clock on the dashboard is a subtle nod to tradition.

Connectivity is intuitive, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in navigation ensuring seamless integration for every journey. Optional upgrades like a 360-degree camera system, a digital rearview mirror, and a 19-speaker Sonus Faber sound system further elevate the experience. Whether streaming classical music on a weekend getaway or enjoying quiet solitude, the GranTurismo’s sound environment feels carefully orchestrated.

Everyday Practicality, Maserati Style

While the GranTurismo is first and foremost a grand tourer, its thoughtful design ensures daily usability. The 2+2 seating configuration provides generous space for front occupants, with finely contoured, heated, and ventilated seats designed for long-distance comfort. The rear seats, ideal for shorter trips or carrying extra luggage, add to the GranTurismo’s flexibility.

A well-designed trunk offers space for weekend bags or a few carefully chosen purchases from classy downtown St. Louis boutiques. Every inch of the cabin feels designed for purpose: elegant, ergonomic, and exceptionally crafted.

Safety and Confidence

Maserati offers a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems to enhance confidence on every drive. Available features include blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and highway driving assist. These intelligent technologies work seamlessly in the background, adding peace of mind without compromising the vehicle’s pure driving engagement.

2025 Maserati GranTurismo: The Essence of Italian Grand Touring

The 2025 Maserati GranTurismo embodies everything the Maserati name stands for: performance born of passion, craftsmanship refined through generations, and design that speaks a universal language of beauty. It’s the ideal companion for the driver who sees every road as an opportunity to experience emotion, not just transportation.Whether it’s the exhilarating strength of the Trofeo or the quiet confidence of the Modena, the GranTurismo lineup represents a true fusion of past, present, and future.

Maserati GranCabrio

Grand touring cars have always carried a special allure. They’re built for covering long distances quickly and comfortably while turning heads with timeless style. The classic GT recipe is simple: elegant lines, an engine up front, rear-wheel power, and two seats. The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo follows the spirit of this tradition while introducing a modern twist. 

With seating for four and intelligent all-wheel drive, it expands the definition of a GT without compromising the qualities enthusiasts crave here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis. 

The Convertible Maserati That Defines the Segment

The GranCabrio is the open-top sibling of Maserati’s GranTurismo, carrying the same DNA but with the added joy of open-air driving. A “Trofeo” badge on the fender signifies the most thrilling version of the car. Even so, the Trofeo isn’t harsh or punishing; it maintains the balance of comfort that is essential in a true grand tourer.

This model represents Maserati at its best. After years where some sedans and SUVs missed the mark, the GranCabrio shows that the brand still knows how to craft a luxurious sports car worthy of its trident badge.

Nettuno Power Under the Hood

At first glance, the long hood and sculpted lines might lead one to assume there’s a massive V8 or even a V12 beneath. Instead, Maserati equips the GranCabrio Trofeo with its now-celebrated 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6. In this configuration, it produces 542 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The result is a 0–60 mph sprint in just 3.4 seconds—serious speed by any measure.

Numbers aside, what makes the Nettuno engine stand out is its character. Many twin-turbo V6 engines can sound muted, but Maserati’s unit delivers a rich, throaty growl, especially with the top down. It strikes the right balance between refined and exciting, never obnoxious, always engaging. Power delivery is smooth and confident, exactly what a grand tourer should provide.

A Transmission That Fits the Mission

Instead of an exotic dual-clutch or race-inspired gearbox, Maserati wisely chose the ZF eight-speed automatic. Known for its reliability and precision, this transmission shifts quickly and seamlessly. When paired with Maserati’s signature metal paddle shifters mounted to the steering column, it becomes an absolute joy to use. Each pull of the paddle feels substantial, with a satisfying click that reminds drivers of the craftsmanship behind the wheel.

Designed With Italian Flair

Maserati has always been associated with beauty, and the GranCabrio doesn’t disappoint. Where some recent Maserati models divided opinion, the GranCabrio is universally admired. With the roof up, the car maintains an elegant silhouette. With the roof down, its proportions shine even more, making it one of the most graceful convertibles in its class.

The design is understated compared to some Italian exotics, but that subtlety is part of its charm. Even in black, the car commands attention without shouting for it. It’s a head-turner in the most sophisticated way.

An Interior That Balances Luxury and Function

Inside, the GranCabrio delivers an atmosphere that blends modern technology with classic Italian craftsmanship. While not overly dramatic, the cabin feels special thanks to high-quality materials, supportive seating, and thoughtful design. Small details, like the near-perfect steering wheel and premium finishes, elevate the driving experience. Importantly, the interior is designed for comfort during both spirited drives and long highway stretches.

Comfort Meets Capability

The hallmark of a grand tourer is its ability to straddle the line between performance and comfort. The GranCabrio Trofeo does this masterfully. With adaptive air suspension offering multiple modes, the car glides over city streets yet tightens up when the road demands precision. Drivers can even soften the suspension while keeping steering and throttle response sharp, creating a perfect balance between sportiness and ride quality.

On long journeys, the GranCabrio remains stable and composed, even at higher speeds. Road noise is minimal, and with the top down, conversations can be held easily at highway pace. The Sonus Faber audio system further enhances the cabin experience, ensuring music or phone calls come through crystal clear.

More Than Just Performance Numbers

What makes the GranCabrio Trofeo stand out isn’t just its horsepower or acceleration times; it’s the complete package. Every element, from the sound of the Nettuno V6 to the craftsmanship of the paddles, contributes to an experience that feels both indulgent and exhilarating. This isn’t just a car for weekend drives; it’s a companion for every journey, whether it’s a road trip across Missouri or a simple night out on the town.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo proves that Maserati is still a master of the grand touring formula. It blends breathtaking style, thrilling performance, and genuine comfort in a way few cars can match. While others may boast bigger engines or flashier designs, few strike the perfect balance quite like this convertible GT.For drivers in Missouri looking for a car that embodies Italian elegance while delivering real-world usability, the GranCabrio Trofeo represents the pinnacle of the segment. It’s not just a convertible; it’s a statement of passion, performance, and timeless design.

Maserati GT2 Stradale

In September 2025, all of us here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis turned their attention to northern Italy, where the second edition of the TUTTO BENE Hillclimb transformed the road to Mottarone into a rolling celebration of design, culture, and performance. Against the breathtaking scenery of Lake Maggiore, Maserati captured hearts and headlines by debuting the striking GT2 Stradale in a stunning Giallo Genio finish with a sophisticated black and grey interior.

The event itself was not about speed records or competition. Instead, it embodied the philosophy of “slow down to go fast”, a reminder that the true joy of driving comes from the experience. With no official timing or racing pressure, participants and spectators alike enjoyed the sound, feel, and artistry of the automobiles as they made the climb, united by the love of motoring.

A Stage Worthy of Icons

The Hillclimb, designed by BorromeoDeSilva with support from Race Service, unfolded along the historic Strada Borromea, a private route that winds more than seven kilometers from the town of Gignese to the summit of Mottarone. Approximately 80 cars joined the parade, ranging from contemporary performance machines to timeless classics, each carefully selected under the simple yet powerful motto: “only cool cars allowed.”

On this road, surrounded by Italian landscapes and historic charm, the Maserati GT2 Stradale proved to be the showstopper. The sound of its Nettuno engine reverberated through the hills, leaving no doubt that Maserati’s spirit of performance remains strong.

The GT2 Stradale: Race-Bred, Road-Ready

For Maserati, the GT2 Stradale represents a bold new chapter. Derived directly from the Maserati GT2 that signaled the brand’s triumphant return to closed-wheel racing, this road-going version blends two core Maserati pillars: racing heritage and refined elegance.

The Stradale, powered by the V6 Nettuno engine, showcases explosive acceleration while refined enough for daily driving. Its reduced weight compared to the Maserati MC20 makes it the most powerful road-legal Maserati with a combustion engine. Every curve, detail, and sound speaks to a car that was created to connect track-bred performance with road-going comfort.

This is not simply a sports car; it is a statement. The Stradale embodies Maserati’s dedication to translating decades of racing expertise into an exhilarating yet accessible driving experience. For those who crave exclusivity paired with dynamic capability, this vehicle is the ultimate expression of Italian craftsmanship.

Tradition Meets Innovation

By participating in the TUTTO BENE Hillclimb, Maserati demonstrated once again how seamlessly the brand bridges heritage with modern vision. Events like this highlight more than horsepower; they showcase culture, design, and lifestyle. The GT2 Stradale stood as a living symbol of Maserati’s ongoing mission. It brings the thrills of the racetrack to the open road without compromising elegance.

The message was clear: Maserati is not simply building cars. Maserati is cultivating an experience that reflects Italian excellence, contemporary luxury, and timeless passion for driving.

The Maserati Lineup: Beyond Stradale

While the spotlight naturally focused on the GT2 Stradale, the Maserati lineup continues to expand and innovate. From the Grecale SUV, crafted for everyday versatility, to the legendary GranTurismo and the new GranCabrio, every model is designed to set benchmarks in style, performance, and comfort.

At the very top of the performance spectrum, the Maserati MC family carries Formula 1-derived technologies into production cars, combining state-of-the-art engineering with unmistakable Italian flair. Each model is a continuation of Maserati’s mission to deliver luxury without compromise.

Why It Matters in St. Louis

For Maserati enthusiasts and future owners here in St. Louis, the GT2 Stradale’s presence at such a prestigious international event underscores what sets Maserati apart. It is not just about driving; it is about belonging to a tradition that values craftsmanship, performance, and individuality.

Owning a Maserati means more than owning a car; it means embracing an identity where every detail, from the roar of the engine to the stitching of the leather, reflects a pursuit of excellence. The GT2 Stradale is proof that Maserati continues to innovate while staying true to its legendary heritage.

A Future Written in Performance and Elegance

The TUTTO BENE Hillclimb highlighted a simple truth. Maserati is building the future of mobility with the same artistry and spirit that made it iconic. Whether it’s the visceral thrill of the GT2 Stradale, the everyday sophistication of the Grecale, or the forward-looking design of the Folgore range, Maserati remains dedicated to delivering vehicles that inspire.

As the automotive world evolves, Maserati continues to set the pace, blending tradition, technology, and passion into every model. For drivers who want more than transportation, Maserati offers something rare: a chance to become part of a story that celebrates performance and elegance in equal measure.
