What you see before you is a remarkable one-of-a-kind creation: the Peralta S, a mid-engine supercar ingeniously hand-built with a striking exterior crafted predominantly from mirror-polished aluminum. This innovative design is poised to challenge even the most futuristic vehicles on the market, including the Tesla Cybertruck, with its bold aesthetic.

Originally unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in 1971, the Maserati Boomerang was the brainchild of renowned car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. It quickly gained fame as one of the most iconic concept cars ever produced, thanks to its distinctive greenhouse windows and unique doorstop shape, which set it apart from other automotive designs of its time.

In an exciting homage to his father’s legacy, Fabrizio Giugiaro, who co-founded GFG Style alongside Giorgetto, recently introduced his own rendition of this legendary car during the Pastejé Automotive Invitational vehicle show held in Mexico. The new model, named the Peralta S, draws inspiration from the Maserati supercar lineage, akin to the original Boomerang. However, aspiring enthusiasts should note that this exquisite car is not available for public purchase.

The Peralta S is a bespoke coachbuilt vehicle that has been meticulously commissioned by an independent private buyer through GFG Style. Its design is rooted in the Maserati MC20, ensuring that it retains the powerful twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produces an impressive 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque.

This formidable power is efficiently channeled through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that delivers exhilarating performance to the rear wheels. The Maserati MC20 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in a mere 2.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). For comparison, the McLaren GT boasts a slightly higher top speed of 203 mph (326 km/h) with a time of 0 to 60 mph clocking in at 3.2 seconds.

The Peralta S showcases its innovative design through its sleek, mirror-polished surface that seamlessly curves along the vehicle's length. Notably, the side sills, front spoiler, and rear diffuser are crafted from exposed carbon fiber, making these the only components not made from aluminum.

However, some critics have raised eyebrows at the elongated LED headlight strips, which might channel a bit too much of the Cybertruck's aesthetic for some tastes. On a positive note, the vented dish wheels pay homage to the Boomerang, capturing a strong '70s vibe that resonates with automotive enthusiasts.

In a departure from the original Maserati’s design, Giugiaro opted for a single, large rooftop door that hinges just in front of the windshield, rather than the traditional two gullwing doors. The new design incorporates two smaller glass panels that still allow for a gullwing opening, blending innovation with nostalgia.

The car's profile presents a striking visual, characterized by an uninterrupted silhouette that flows from the nose to the tail. At the rear, the integrated spoiler lifts up, cleverly concealing the lights beneath, which create a captivating "shadow light" effect when illuminated.

Fabrizio Giugiaro faced considerable challenges in creating the Peralta S, as he had to work with an existing MC20 platform. This complexity arose from the way the MC20's body is intricately woven into its carbon fiber chassis, limiting the extent to which he could innovate. In contrast, his father had the luxury of starting from a blank canvas, which undoubtedly facilitated a more creative design process.

Inside, the cabin of the Peralta S retains many elements reminiscent of the original 1970s models, with the dashboard, door panels, and seats all draped in luxurious leather. While there are modern enhancements, such as steering wheel controls and updated air vents, the interior largely preserves the character of the MC20.

As Fabrizio Giugiaro eloquently stated, “The Peralta S embodies a quintessential 1970s attitude, diverging from the contemporary automotive landscape. My aim was to enrich it with stylistic references and cues from a historically significant past, while also paying tribute to my father through a modern reinterpretation of the Boomerang’s volumes.”

Ultimately, the Peralta S will become part of the private collection of its owner, making it unlikely that this stunning automobile will grace the streets anytime soon. Car enthusiasts and fans of automotive history may regret missing the chance to see such a unique piece of art in motion.
