The GFG Style Peralta is not a car you park quietly. Fabrizio Giugiaro and GFG Style have taken a Maserati GranTurismo and dressed it in copper that was hand-hammered panel by panel. It looks like a sculpture that learned to accelerate.
GFG Style Peralta Trades Paint for Copper
Copper is a material with ambitions. Its surface shifts from rose gold to deep bronze as the light changes, and every panel carries the faint marks of the hammer. Paint cannot fake that depth, and the GFG Style Peralta proves it.
Still, the sculpted surfacing demands respect. Sharp creases run along the flanks, and the nose slices forward with a purposeful aggression. Aerodynamics clearly shaped the silhouette, though the sheer visual drama may be its greatest asset.

Beneath the skin, the Maserati GranTurismo Maserati platform remains intact. That matters to purists, because a mechanical base with proven chassis stiffness gives the coachbuilder a solid foundation. Compare this approach with the Lamborghini Revuelto, where the engineering is the design, and the Peralta feels like the opposite philosophy entirely.
Driver Connection Takes a Back Seat
On paper, the GranTurismo underpinnings suggest a V8 with a usable, meaty mid-range and a rear-driven character. Estimated figures sit around 542 HP and a 0-60 mph sprint near 3.6 seconds, though these numbers remain speculative for this one-off.
In reality, the question is whether the bodywork compromises the driving experience. Copper is heavy and unforgiving, so curb weight will rise compared with the production GranTurismo. Steering feedback and brake fade resistance will decide whether the Peralta is a showpiece or a usable weapon.
Verdict From the Driver’s Seat
Ultimately, this is a showcase, not a track tool. Its value lies in the craftsmanship and the rarity of a single unit built with coachbuilding skill. Expect collectors to treat it as a blue-chip coachbuild, and expect its resale value to outperform most one-off commissions.
Pricing has not been disclosed, which is typical for a bespoke project. Even so, a copper-clad Maserati of this calibre will command a serious premium, and the GFG Style Peralta earns every penny of its theatrical presence. Visit Auto News Magazine for more coverage of bold coachbuilt concepts.
