Maserati has revealed a special edition GranTurismo Folgore to mark its 110th anniversary. The 110 Anniversario is limited to just 110 units, with 55 each of the two specifications available. They are Rame Folgore (‘rame’ is copper in Italian) and Blu Inchiostro. Both get wheels unique to the special edition, an interior in denim or black Econyl and copper or blue stitching inside. Both look very smart indeed, as pretty much every configuration of this GranTurismo has thus far.
There’s another giveaway to their limited status, one that will also be found on Maserati’s Tipo Folgore Formula E racer come the new season. It’s the famous Trident logo (of course), albeit with ‘110’ numerals added to the side, found on the C-pillar. Maserati says it ‘represents the brand’s dynamism and capacity for innovation in its 110-year history’.
It seems that the Folgore 110s are mechanically unaltered, though that seems eminently wise given the standard car is capable of more than 200mph and 0-62mph in less than three seconds. The focus is much more on what Maserati’s Fuoriserie Customisation Programme can create in terms of personalisation and ‘exclusive content’. As such the full debut will take place this weekend as part of the Trident Experience in Modena. Held at the showroom on Viale Ciro Menotti, guests ‘will be immersed in the brand's more than a century of history and modern identity.’
Ideally from that immersion will come a sale of an Anniversario, Maserati’s take on the future of luxury mobility. Quite what it’ll cost yet isn’t clear, or how many examples will make it to the UK, but given the standard Folgore is a £180k car, a very limited special edition with Fuoriserie input isn’t likely to be less than £200,000. But then you’re only 110 once…
