Maserati produced two unique cars, Quattroporte Grand Finale and MC20 Iris

At the 1963 Turin Motor Show, Maserati premiered a four-door luxury sports sedan, the Maserati Quattroporte. Six decades later and after six generations, this model came to an end, and the last car was called the Quattroporte Grand Finale. It was delivered to a collector in the United States, who also bought a special edition MC20 Iris.

The Quattroporte Grand Finale is finished in Blu Nobile, and is equipped with a specially developed carbon fiber aerodynamic package. The last edition of the Quattroporte will be remembered in automotive memoirs and catalogs as the perfect interpreter and culmination of Maserati excellence, and the 5.26 meter long car is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine with 572 hp (426 kW). The vehicle identification number 999999 is written on the windshield.

The cabin is decorated with Italian craftsmanship, with the use of high-quality materials made according to the specific requirements of the customer. There are also wooden decorations and leather inserts, which fit perfectly into the interior, as well as the Maserati logo embroidered on the headrests and a special Grand Finale emblem.

The Maserati MC20 Iris is finished in AI Aqua Rainbow and the same theme also continues in the interior of the car. The central tunnel and the steering wheel are covered with special leather. The name of the car and the theme were not chosen by chance, since Iris is the Latin word for rainbow.

It is not known how much the collector paid for these unique cars.

2025 Maserati MC20 Tributo Modenese

Celebrating its 110th anniversary since it was established in Bologna, Maserati has unveiled its new unique car, the MC20 Tributo Modenese. With this car, which will debut at Monterey Car Week, the Italian manufacturer also pays tribute to the city of Modena, where the headquarters are located today.

The MC20 Tributo Modenese is the work of Fuoriserie, the Maserati personalization program, that allows you to create one-of-a-kind Maserati cars, styled by you. The car has a black and blue body, with yellow details, as well as a graphic on the hood representing the trident, Maserati’s trademark. There are also black rims behind which are hidden contrasting yellow brake calipers.

At Monterey Car Week, which will be held from August 9 to 18, Maserati will also display the MC20 Icona, MC20 Cielo and an all-new super sports car, which will be inspired by the GT2 racing car. In the previously published teaser, you can see the openings on the front fenders, a carbon splitter and a motorsport-inspired hood.

Maserati has not announced which engine will power the MC20 Tributo Modenese. The standard MC20 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno engine with 621 hp (463 kW) and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear axle. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km / h).

Stellantis will not sell Maserati

In a recent interview with Reuters, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said that the company cannot afford to have brands that are not profitable. This means that some of the 14 brands that are part of the Stellantis group could soon be sold or shut down. One of those who were in a difficult position is Maserati, but Stellantis said that Maserati will stay.

This way of thinking in the company is not surprising since the business results in the first half of the year are devastating. Since the beginning of the year, Stellantis shares have fallen by over 20%, net revenues are down 14 percent, and net profit is down 48 percent. Also, operating income fell by 40 percent. The reason is bad sales results in North America, where 18 percent fewer vehicles were delivered in the first six months than in the same period in 2023.

At the moment, Maserati offers eight models (Grecale, Levante, Ghibli, Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio, MC20 and MC20 Cielo), and the Grecale and GranCabrio SUVs are also available as fully electric.

Also, Lancia and DS have the best chance of being shut down in the near future, while Fiat, Opel, Peugeot, Citroen, Jeep and Ram have no reason to worry.
