A Grand Goodbye to the V-8 Quattroporte
In the picturesque town of Stresa, located on the shores of Lake Maggiore, Maserati has presented two exceptional cars. The Quattroporte Grand Finale marks the end of an era as the last Maserati to carry a V-8 engine. This final iteration of the Quattroporte is finished in a stunning deep blue shade known as Blu Nobile, complemented by carbon-fiber trim in the same hue. Under the hood lies the 572-horsepower 3.8-liter V-8 engine from the Trofeo model, decorated with custom signatures from the Fuoriserie team and engineers responsible for its development. This vehicle is a true testament to Maserati’s craftsmanship and engineering excellence.
Meet the Striking MC20 Iris
Alongside the Quattroporte Grand Finale, Maserati also showcased the MC20 Iris. This one-off supercar, named after the Latin word for rainbow, features an iridescent Ai Aqua Rainbow paint that shifts with hints of green, yellow, and red. A distinctive white stripe runs over the hood, and unique white decals adorn the sills and rear haunches. The interior reflects the same iridescent theme, with aqua hues decorating the sides of the seats and stitching seen on the armrest, center console, and steering wheel. Special details include a marked steering wheel and “MC20 Iris” badging on the door sill, signifying the car’s exclusive status.
Interior Luxury and Customization
Both vehicles showcase the capabilities of Maserati’s Fuoriserie customization division. The Quattroporte Grand Finale’s cabin features luxurious leather in a tan hide on the seats and door panels, while the A-pillar and trunk are clad in black leather. Deep-brown wood accents adorn the steering wheel, center console, and inner door handles, enhancing the vehicle’s sophisticated look. The headrests showcase the Maserati’s trident logo stitched in black, while the “Grand Finale” script can be found on the center console and door sills. The MC20 Iris continues this attention to detail with its custom interior elements.
These unique Maserati cars were crafted for a dedicated Maserati enthusiast from the United States’ biomedical field. The Quattroporte Grand Finale and the MC20 Iris not only exemplify the pinnacle of Maserati’s design but also serve as fitting tributes to the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in Maserati’s storied history.
