Maserati Celebrates 75th Anniversary with GranTurismo PrimaSerie Launch Edition

Maserati is a brand that has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. The company has launched an array of new models, including the MC20 and Grecale. However, the focus today is on the GranTurismo, as Maserati announces plans to offer the PrimaSerie 75th Anniversary Launch Edition in North America.

The special edition is based on the range-topping GranTurismo Trofeo and features a bluish grey Grigio Lamiera Matte exterior. The model rides on black wheels that feature Corse Red accents as well as a 75th anniversary logo in the center. The theme continues elsewhere as there’s Corse Red badging as well as Corse Red accents on the air vents.

Interior Features

Maserati didn’t say much about the interior, but we can see two-tone perforated leather seats with chevron accents, red contrast stitching, and 75th anniversary embroidery on the headrests. They’re joined by a 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, and a lower 8.8-inch display.

Performance

Power is provided by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine that produces 542 hp (405 kW / 550 PS). It enables the all-wheel drive coupe to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.3 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 199 mph (320 km/h).

Limited Availability

Only 50 units are coming to North America, although there’s no word on pricing at this point. That being said, the special edition won’t be cheap as the regular GranTurismo Trofeo begins at $205,000.
