This Maserati GranTurismo Is Now A Handcrafted Copper Work Of Art

Someone looked at a Maserati GranTurismo and decided it needed a copper skin. Not copper-colored paint, actual copper, hammered by hand and shaped into a one-off body. The result is the Peralta D, the latest creation from Italian design studio GFG Style, and it's about as far from a standard Maserati as you can get without building a car from scratch.

Unveiled in Mexico at the 2026 Pastejé Automotive Invitational, the Peralta D was commissioned by businessman Carlos Peralta. The project follows the Peralta S, revealed last year, which used the mid-engined Maserati MC20 as its starting point. The new car takes a different route, using the front-engined GranTurismo platform and turning it into a copper-clad 2+2 coupe. There's a family story behind the pair, too: the S was dedicated to Peralta's sons, while the D celebrates his daughters.

The people responsible are Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son Fabrizio, who founded GFG Style in 2015 after leaving Italdesign. Their approach here is less about adding visual drama for its own sake and more about shaping the metal into something unusual. Sharp body lines, a long wedge-shaped roof, copper-tinted glass, and full-width LED lights give the car a distinctly futuristic look. Four exhaust tips at the back confirm that this isn't simply an electric design exercise.

Getting into the cabin is a performance in itself. The front canopy tilts forward, and four gullwing doors open up the interior. Maserati's digital displays remain, but GFG Style has added a passenger screen, gold-and-copper upholstery, brown leather, and a champagne holder between the rear seats. There's even an illuminated vanity mirror on the glovebox. Whoever sits in the back clearly isn't expected to rough it.

GFG Style hasn't disclosed the price or confirmed which engine powers this car. The standard GranTurismo comes with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 producing up to 543 horsepower, giving the Peralta D a serious mechanical foundation. The finished car now belongs to Peralta's collection, and there are no plans for a production run.
