Peralta S Supercar Debuts in Mexico, Fusing Italian Design with Maserati MC20 Power
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector
A new chapter in coachbuilt Italian supercars was written on March 22 with the unveiling of the Peralta S, a stunning, wedge-shaped one-off designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro and developed by GFG Style. Presented at the Pastejé Automotive Invitational, Mexico's most exclusive automotive event, the Peralta S wowed crowds with its radical lines and handcrafted precision.
Commissioned by Mexican collector Carlos Peralta, the namesake supercar represents GFG Style's first fully bespoke vehicle built for a private client. Its unveiling was marked by the presence of both Fabrizio and the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro, whose 1972 Maserati Boomerang served as the car's primary inspiration.
Underpinning the Peralta S is a chassis reportedly sourced from the Maserati MC20, including its carbon-fiber monocoque and twin-turbocharged V6 engine. Though technical specifications have yet to be officially confirmed, the supercar's form is as breathtaking as its presumed performance.
The body is crafted entirely by hand from aluminum and carbon fiber, finished in a mirror-like polish that flows into a seamless glass canopy. That canopy, which opens forward to allow cockpit access, is paired with gullwing-style side windows—both functional and theatrical. The wedge profile, sharply defined LED lighting, camera-based side mirrors, and dramatic rear wing evoke a retro-futuristic aesthetic while maintaining aerodynamic purpose.
Inside, the cockpit is tailored to Peralta's tastes with bespoke materials and configurations, though GFG has yet to reveal full interior details. In the days following the debut, the company promised to share additional insights into the Peralta S via its social channels.
Only one will ever exist, and it's destined to remain in Peralta's private collection. But for one night in Mexico, the Peralta S captured the imagination of a global audience—blending the past, present, and future of Italian automotive art.

GM's $4B Bet: Why Trump's Tariffs Just Rewired U.S. Auto Manufacturing
General Motors (NYSE:GM) is pulling a hard left on its decades-long offshore strategy. The automaker just unveiled a $4 billion investment plan to boost U.S. production over the next two yearsreshuffling factory lines in Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee. Why now? Trump's tariffs. After years of defending its Mexico-heavy footprint, GM is betting that protectionist trade policies aren't going away. CFO Paul Jacobson told investors the changes will raise U.S. vehicle output by 300,000 units a year, with pickups like the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra coming back stateside. That shift alone could reduce GM's estimated $5 billion tariff exposureone reason shares popped 2.4% at 12.54pm after the news. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with GM. It's a rare reversal. For decades, GM offshored to cut costs and sidestep ballooning retiree liabilities. But now, political risk has become just as costly. CEO Mary Barra, once criticized by Trump for closing an Ohio plant, has recalibrated. After several meetings with the president, Barra appears convinced: Mexican-made cars may face long-term penalties. The new plan brings production of the Equinox SUV to Kansas by 2027, along with the revamped Chevy Bolt EV. Meanwhile, Tennessee will assemble gas-powered Chevy Blazers, and Michigan's Orion plantoriginally meant for electric pickupswill shift gears to build gasoline versions starting 2027. The pivot isn't just logisticalit's strategic. By adding 3,000 to 4,000 U.S. jobs, GM could quiet critics and hedge political risk ahead of another turbulent election cycle. The company still plans to make some vehicles in Mexico, just at lower volumes. But the message is clear: GM is building againat home. With EV demand cooling and tariffs heating up, this could be the kind of long-game play investors shouldn't ignore. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio
