Maserati Gives Americans Fancy Pantsy Quattroporte And Levante Zegna Pelletessuta Editions

Maserati is using the ‘first come, first served’ basis to sell the 100 units of the Quattroporte and Levante Zegna Pelletessuta special editions, which have started arriving at U.S. dealerships.

Available for the S versions of both models, they’re limited to 50 cars each and pack a special upholstery, offered exclusively by Maserati and Zegna. Named the Pelletessuta, the material blends new and old technologies for the nicely crafted interior.

“The result of research using thin strips of Nappa leather in place of fabric yarns which are woven together and interlaced replicating the traditional method of weaving cloth to obtain a real ‘fabric’ from leather”, the Trident brand explained. “This is an example of combining new avant-garde technologies with century-old traditions to create innovation.”

Finished in custom Blu Sofisticato metallic paint, on top of the Dark Brown interior, the Quattroporte S Zegna Pelletessuta get blue brake calipers, unique ‘Zegna Edition’ badge inside and sports seats. The SUV comes in Bronzo tri-coat with black interior, sits on 21-inch polished Helios rims and gets black calipers.

No pricing information has been announced, but expect to pay a lot more than the standard Levante S and Quattroporte S, which start at $84,490 and $105,490 respectively in North America. Both share a 3.0-liter V6 engine that develops 424 HP and 428 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque. Nought to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) takes 5.0 seconds in the SUV and 4.8 seconds in the sedan, while top speed stands at 164 and 179 mph (264-288 km/h), respectively.
