One-Off, MC20-Based Peralta S Is Making Its American Debut in Monterey

GFG Style

Earlier in 2025, Italian design house GFG Style traveled to Mexico to unveil a one-off, Maserati MC20-based supercar called Peralta S. The model was designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro as a tribute to the 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept that his father, Giorgetto, penned. It was built at the request of a collector, so it’s already spoken for, but fortunately for fans of dramatic car design, it’s scheduled to make its American debut in Monterey, California, in August 2025.

Fabrizio Giugiaro channeled the spirit of his father’s Boomerang concept without merely hitting “copy and paste.” The head-turning wedge-shaped silhouette remains, but nearly all of the 1972 show car’s defining styling cues have been re-imagined to some extent. Polished aluminum body panels give it a distinctive look, the front end gets a light bar, and the back features a speed-activated wing that’s almost Countach-like. The wheels are cool: They’re a modern take on the alloys fitted to the Boomerang over 50 years ago.

And, this isn’t merely a re-skinned MC20, either. GFG Style notably replaced the Maserati’s butterfly doors with a massive, front-hinged canopy that’s both unusual and cool. You’ll be disappointed if you’re hoping to see a modern re-creation of the Boomerang’s wild-looking steering wheel, however. Step inside, close the canopy, and you’ll be sitting in front of a modified version of the MC20’s three-spoke steering wheel.

It doesn’t sound like GFG Style made any significant modifications to the drivetrain. Power for the Peralta S comes from a stock, MC20-sourced 3.0-liter V-6 that’s twin-turbocharged to 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. Mid-mounted, it spins the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. We don’t blame GFG Style for leaving the engine stock: Maserati’s Nettuno V-6 is a gem.

GFG Style will display the Peralta S during the Monterey Motorsports Festival taking place on August 16, 2025, as part of the annual Car Week festivities. It doesn’t sound like the coachbuilder will make a second example of the coupe, but it’s open to designing and building more one-off models in the coming years.

    Mid-engined wedge cars are cool… the wants are high (but not the ones I can afford). I’ve built a Lotus 7 replica, and am far enough along on a 32 Ford Roadster replica that I’m pretty sure I’ll be successful… I wonder if there’s a mid-engine build in my future someday. Or maybe the 32 will meet all my car needs (seems unlikely, but I do hope ha)
