Dubai, UAE, June 11, 2017:  Following its international launch at the Geneva International Motor Show in March, the Maserati GranTurismo ‘Special Edition’ has arrived at official importer-dealer Al Tayer Motors showroom in the UAE.

The car is on display at Al Tayer Motors Sheikh Zayed Road showroom in Dubai and comes with the standard three year/ 60,000 kilometre extended service package.

“The UAE is one of the few Middle East markets, which is able to present a small number of units of this limited edition GranTurismo car to our Maserati aficionados. It is a rare opportunity to own a car with a classic design and now in a distinctive colour,” said Hossam Hosni, Vice President – Maserati at Al Tayer Motors.

The first Maserati Grand Touring car, the 3500 GT, was produced 60 years ago and made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Maserati not only created a new successful market segment, but also sold over 2200 units in both coupe and cabrio versions. The GranTurismo and GranCabrio Special Editions celebrate the 60th anniversary of one of Maserati’s iconic vehicles, while embodying the entire legacy of this glorious brand.

The Special Edition is based on GranTurismo and GranCabrio Sport versions and only 400 units will be produced. The main unique features of these new and exclusive versions include the New Rosso Italiano three-layer paint for the exteriors, reinterpreting the red of Fangio’s 250F - F1 champion in 1957 - and emphasizing the link with Maserati’s heritage. The MC-design 20” alloy wheels come with a new Glossy Black finish that matches the Special Edition logo wheel centre caps.

The new interior design revolves around Poltrona Frau leather or leather/Alcantara upholstery and new interior stitching available in 4 different combinations. Other distinguishing interior details are the doorsills in carbon fibre featuring the Special Edition logo and the dedicated plate on the central tunnel with a carbon fibre holder, commemorating the anniversary and the limited production run of 400 units.
