GFG Style, the design firm founded by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro, has unveiled its first one-off creation for an exceptionally wealthy client. Meet the Peralta S, a unique, wedge-shaped supercar that is believed to ride on modern Maserati’s underpinnings, showcasing a custom aluminum body and an interior crafted to the owner’s exact specifications.

Named after its Mexican collector, Carlos Peralta, the coachbuilt special carries more than just his moniker—it’s a reflection of his high-end tastes. The Peralta S was designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro, drawing heavy inspiration from Giorgetto Giugiaro’s iconic 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept, which remains one of the most memorable designs of the era.
A Wedge That Means Business
Much like the Tesla Cybertruck, the Peralta S features an exposed metal body with a wedge shape. However, unlike the Cybertruck, it’s made of aluminum rather than stainless steel alloy—and it doesn’t look like it was forged from industrial-grade Lego bricks by a toddler with a fondness for big ideas and little impulse control.
The bodywork is crafted by hand from aluminum, with a mirror-polished finish that blends seamlessly into the large glass surfaces for a striking look of linearity. The design continues the wedge theme popular in the ’70s, featuring a “single unbroken arc from front to rear,” which makes it look as though it’s slicing through the air at all times.
The side windows swing upwards like tiny gullwing doors, while the canopy lifts forward, ensuring easy access to the cockpit. The side cooling intakes, rear wing, and tail elements give a subtle nod to Lamborghini’s design language, but the Peralta S keeps things cleaner and more refined. The retro-futuristic wheels, camera side mirrors, and sharp LEDs round out the exterior, pushing the boundaries of modern luxury without being over-the-top.
A Glimpse Under the Skin
Described as a “mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sportscar,” the Peralta S is handbuilt using aluminum and carbon fiber, giving it an ultra-lightweight, performance-focused build. While the exact specs haven’t been officially disclosed, Italian media note that the car is based on the Maserati MC20. Some infotainment display elements appear to confirm this connection, though the Peralta S boasts a highly bespoke two-seater cabin with a combination of leather, aluminum, and carbon fiber.

The powertrain likely mirrors that of the MC20, which means it’s packing Maserati’s carbon fiber tub and a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine. This engine is good for 621 horsepower (463 kW / 630 PS) and 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Performance-wise, it’s likely to keep up with some of the best sports cars on the market, without being a mass-production show-off.

The Unknown Price of Exclusivity
The Peralta S made its grand debut at the Pastejé Automotive Invitational in Mexico on March 22, where the design world got its first official look at the bespoke supercar. GFG Style has kept tight-lipped about the price, but considering the one-off nature of the build and the use of custom components, it’s safe to assume it cost Carlos Peralta quite a bit. After all, when you’re commissioning a car this unique, “affordable” is not a word that tends to enter the conversation.
GFG Style has promised to release more details about the car through their social media channels, so keep an eye out if you want to see what this stunning machine is capable of beyond its good looks.
