Maserati Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato: A fusion of Italian art and engineering
Maserati has teamed up with one of the world’s oldest winemaking families, Marchesi Antinori, to create a special edition of the Grecale SUV. Inspired by the famous Il Bruciato wine from the Tuscan region of Bvlgari, the model symbolizes the bond between the automotive industry and the Italian art of living. In this project, Maserati sought to combine emotion, culture and design to transform driving from an everyday experience into a sensory pleasure.
Design inspired by Tuscan wine
The special Alchimia Scarlatta exterior color is inspired by the color composition of wine and changes in different lighting from burgundy red to golden copper. This color effect is created using Chromaflair pigments to give the viewer a sense of depth and dynamism of a moving liquid. Exclusive 21-inch wheels with a special Fuoriserie design, glossy black calipers and special Tributo badging make the car stand out from every angle. Even the soft lines and curves of the body are designed to reflect the warmth and softness of wine.
Luxurious cabin and handcrafted details
The interior of the Grecale Tributo is full of fine details; a combination of red and brown leather with Italian hand-stitching, which contrasts with the piano black trim and shiny metal details, creating a sense of authenticity and modernity. The seats, with their cannelloni design (vertical grooves) and the Maserati trident logo on the headrests, convey a sense of sportiness and luxury at the same time. The Sonus faber sound system, with its 14 speakers and crystal-clear sound, offers a concert hall-like experience. The large panoramic roof also brings natural light into the cabin, making the space warm and intimate.
Power and performance
Although the focus of this version is on the luxury experience, Maserati has chosen the Grecale Trofeo as the base model, which is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno engine with twin turbochargers. This engine produces more than 520 horsepower and allows the car to reach 100 km/h from standstill in less than 4 seconds. The adaptive air suspension, eight-speed ZF transmission and intelligent differential provide a combination of grip, smoothness and driving precision. However, Maserati is not looking for blind excitement with this version, but rather a balance between power and calmness.
An experience for connoisseurs and collectors
Maserati has announced that the Tributo Il Bruciato will be produced in limited numbers, and each car will likely be custom-designed for the customer. Everything from the interior color and materials to the upholstery details can be customized to the owner’s taste. More than a track car, this car is designed for those who want to drive a “story”; a story of Italian tradition, art, and authenticity. Just as a special wine is made for a special person, this car is made for collectors and lovers of the Italian lifestyle.
