The GranTurismo Prisma is in town for just over a month.
The latest Maserati GranTurismo was launched in 2023, along with the announcement of the GranTurismo Folgore, the first Maserati to go with a 100% battery-electric drivetrain and three electric motors.
However, throw Fuoriserie, Maserati’s bespoke artisan arm, into the mix and you’re sure to end up with something eye-catching and special. And that’s exactly what’s happened with the GranTurismo Prisma, a Fuoriserie one-off created to celebrate the history and future of the GranTurismo.
The GranTurismo Prisma’s bodywork features a chromatic interplay of 14 different colours that are all hand-painted.
Two of these colours “look ahead to the future, whilst the other twelve have been selected from the hues of the most popular GranTurismo models of the past, such as the characteristic Amaranto from the 1947 Maserati A6 1.500, and the Oro Longchamps that brightened the 1973 Maserati Khamsin.”
On top of that are 8,500 letters hand-applied and hand-varnished one by one, making up the names of Maserati cars.
The hand-painted Maserati Tridente emblem stands proud on the B-pillar, reminding everyone that Neptune is always nearby.
On the inside, the GranTurismo adopts the twin central display for infotainment and climate controls, first seen in the Grecale.
A digital instrument cluster is standard fare, and a heads-up display (HUD) is also available optionally.
Although it may seem that the GranTurismo is a 2+2 coupe, it was actually designed from the get-go to truly fit four adults comfortably.
The GranTurismo is available in three versions internationally. Two versions feature internal combustion with the three-litre twin turbo Nettuno V6 engine putting out 490hp in the Modena version, and 550hp in the Trofeo. Both come with all-wheel drive.
A full-electric Folgore is fitted with three electric motors offering over 760hp, also in all-wheel drive format.
Naturally, the Fuoriserie bespoke program is available to GranTurismo customers to customise their coupes to their hearts’ content. Expect to pay a pretty penny for the privilege though.
For those who wish to catch the car in person, the Maserati GranTurismo Prisma will be available for public viewing from 20 January to 25 February 2024 at 26 Dempsey Road.
Satiate your palette with Italian cuisine as you take in the artisanal bodywork of the Prisma.
