Limited editions are quite a special event here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis: all the models here are already so eclectic that any special releases shine brightly with vigor and individuality. The blogging staff on duty at Carbuzz.com confirmed this past week that the 2024 GranTurismo PrimaSerie 75th Anniversary Launch Edition will be arriving in North America Soon in limited units. Created to celebrate 75 years since the GranTurismo first was introduced, the latest model takes inspiration from the first- ever production of the aesthetic and amazing A6 1500.
The power source is the legendary 3.0-liter Nettuno twin-turbo V6 that is situated in the mesmerizing and future-forward MC20. The MC20 tips the pavement-scorching scale by cranking out 621 horsepower, well the GT car gets the job done with a still-sensational 542 horses. The PrimaSerie begins with the Trofeo version of the GranTurismo, with the 0-60 mph sprint finished in just 3.5 seconds. There is also a toned-down version with just 483 horsepower, and only 50 models will arrive in North America, decorated with the unique Grigio Memiera Matte Paintwork hue.
Other extra touches making the PrimaSerie stand out aggressively from the rest of the lineup are sporty carbon fiber accents and Corsa Red detailing on the signature triple side vents, wheels, and unique exterior badging. Inside, a very striking and decidedly not retro-themed cabin is trimmed in two-tone black-and-cream perforated leather, with the exterior adding Corsa Red stitching to the snug cockpit as a nice extra sporty touch. The dashboards and seats sport a cool herringbone motif, with all these extras assuring that the core Maserati pillars of existence are represented.
Timeless design, class-leading comfort, and exhilarating performance are represented with a sense of snappy pride and potential for constantly evolving adventure. It is no surprise that some very diehard petrolheads always crave more power, and they will be instantly pleased about the all-electric Folgore variant of the new GranTurismo, which boasts 3 electric motors under the hood. This clean-sourced and very modern luxury coupe can noiselessly skip up to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, making use of 751 eager horsepower.
Drivers who have known and respected our brand through many exhilarating and productive years will be craving the presence of the exhaust’s signature sound, and we already have things conventionally covered in that department! A video circulating last fall featured head of design Klaus Busse along with chief communications officer Maria Conti letting the world check out the GT Folgore and its exciting new design. The soundtrack was meticulously designed by the very same engineers who are responsible for the delightfully burbling sound that our brand’s V8 emits.
The word on the high-octane street is that this precisely engineered noise is up at the plate heartily to rival the Dodge Fratzonic’s EV exhaust system, an added alluring component to a package already infused with Italian style and charm. The Motor Trend review team said fondly of the Corsa drive mode: “It’s all there the moment you touch the accelerator pedal, every lb-ft of torque.” Packaging an electric powertrain under the same sensational sheet metal as its siblings, other auto experts have excitedly claimed that the Folgore edition is the “Grandest of the GranTurismos.” Crossing the finish line as a car that is high on performance while still loaded with soul, these special editions are sure to evoke sophistication and a stunning presence!
