It has been 7 years since Maserati decided to partner with Italian fashion house Emenegildo Zegna, beginning with Maserati’s centennary celebrations in 2014. Revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2013, the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition Concept touted a beautifully deep bronze paint job and an interior with very fine wool textile and soft leather upholstery. All of us here at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis had a lot of love for it at the time, and it was a valuable collaboration between two companies linked by exclusive style and tradition.

Being masters at working with hide, the pair debuted the results of another collaboration, the brand-new Pelletessuta Woven leather interior. Very thin strips of lightweight Napa fabric for 100 special edition vehicles were created and previewed during Monterrey Car Week in August. These 100 limited edition models have finally reached dealerships in the U.S., and until they sell out, the two models will remain as a full expression of rich-blooded Italian form and prowess. Meanwhile, back home in Italy, Maserati paid homage to its compatriots and beloved country in crisis by lighting the towers at the Modena headquarters with the three colors of Il Tricolore, the Italian flag.
There are 50 models of the 2020 Quattroporte S Q4 GranLusso, which already comes equipped with a Luxury Zegna Package interior, unlike the entry-level Quattroporte. Each of these very special models wears a custom Blu Sofisticato metallic paint with blue brake calipers. On the inside, dark brown Pelletessuta interior includes sport seats for the front passengers, and a Zegna badge ties up the work. The other 50 models up for grabs are the 2020 Levante S GranSport finished in Bronzo Tri-Coat and 21-inch polished Helios rims, and these interiors are properly doled up with black Pelletessuta fabric and accented with custom Radica wood trim.

As the experts at Car and Driver themselves said, the Levante is “The one SUV in its class that offers a leather-and-silk interior and its Ferrari-derived powertrains can induce automotive nirvana, especially with the throttle open wide”. The Quattroporte is known for having amazing and engaging handling for a larger sedan, and a perfectly firm ride with 20 and 21-inch wheels. With engines coming from sister company Ferrari, we have always guaranteed that these are cars that will be instantly special, and always holding on to high appeal with its Italian roots. The GTS models come with a powerful twin-turbo V8, and GranLusso and GranSport trims also can be upgraded to the V8-powered GTS spec.
