Maserati is set to debut two exquisite special editions celebrating its legendary vehicles - the MC20 Iris and the Quattroporte Grand Finale. These unique one-offs, not only showcase the brand's unparalleled custom-build talent but also mark the end of an era for the Quattroporte, the last model equipped with the iconic V8 combustion engine, as the company moves towards electrification.

Despite recent doubts and speculation surrounding Maserati's future, the Italian marque has demonstrated its enduring vitality by unveiling two bespoke models crafted by its exclusive Fuoriserie coachbuilding division. The first is the Quattroporte Grand Finale, an exceptional iteration of Maserati's flagship sedan, and the second is the MC20 Iris, a uniquely styled and thematically inspired version of their latest mid-engined supercar, showcasing Maserati's commitment to excellence and innovation.

As a grand farewell, the Grand Finale bears the unique vehicle ID number, 999999, prominently displayed on both the windshield and the driver's door. Additionally, a custom engine cover bears the signatures of the Fuoriserie team and the engineers who brought this special project to life.
The 572-horsepower car features brushed aluminum brake calipers and a carbon fiber body kit meticulously color-matched to its striking Blu Nobile paint.

The MC20 Iris stands out as a unique masterpiece, inspired by the rainbow theme reflected in its name. The bespoke design, chosen by the customer, features a distinctive Al Aqua Rainbow color that adorns the Trident emblem and the center of the hubcaps. This vibrant hue makes the MC20 Iris easily recognizable, setting it apart from other exceptional one-off models in the lineup.

The last Quattroporte's interior exemplifies exquisite Italian craftsmanship, crafted with premium materials to fulfill the customer’s specifications. A leather-lined trunk, burl accents on the door handles, and a distinctive 'Grand Finale' badge featured on the central tunnel and door sills add a final touch of elegance. The design also includes a steering wheel adorned with burl accents, tan door panels, and a black leather A-pillar, complemented by the Trident logo stitched in black on the headrests.

The attention to detail in the MC20 Iris is exceptional. The "+" and "-" symbols on the steering wheel paddle shifters match the color of the viewfinder along the upper edge of the wheel, moving beyond the standard white. Additionally, the door sills feature laser-cut MC20 Iris lettering, while Al Aqua Rainbow stitching extends to the engine compartment and trunk, underscoring the car’s bespoke craftsmanship.

The MC20 Iris carries forward its unique design theme into the interior, where the Al Aqua Rainbow color accentuates the stitching on the armrest and central tunnel, both upholstered in luxurious ICE leather. This marks the debut of ICE leather on the central tunnel, a first for the model, and it is also featured on the steering wheel, further enhancing the vehicle's bespoke aesthetic.

Although the buyer's identity remains undisclosed, it's known that these Maseratis were delivered to a prominent U.S. entrepreneur in the biomedical sector, reflecting the exclusivity and high value of these bespoke vehicles.
