Maserati Launches Officine Fuoriserie Bespoke Program

Yahoo26-03-2025

has launched a new customization program called Officine Fuoriserie Maserati that is open to its full lineup.
The program is split between customizable "catalog" models and full-blown tailor-made bespoke cars created as one-of-one models.
Maserati launched the program by revealing an exclusive titled "Less is More...?" with a livery that mixes matte and glossy paint colors.
According to Maserati CEO Santo Ficili, "Bespoke is the history and future of luxury cars." That's why earlier today, the Italian brand launched a new customization program called Officine Fuoriserie Maserati to give its customers more freedom in customizing their cars.
The program is split into two categories. The first offers two customizable collections: Fuoriserie Corsa and Fuoriserie Futura. The second category is all about individuality and offers bespoke, one-of-one cars that customers get to design throughout the build process in conjunction with Maserati's creative department.
Maserati says the Fuoriserie Corsa models are inspired by the brand's racing heritage. They use "color as a material" with liveries inspired by racing icons throughout Maserati's history. The brand stressed that none of the Corse models use decals, instead creating each livery entirely out of paint. Fuoriserie models are meant to focus more on material and "chromatic experimentation," according to Maserati. The second collection draws its inspiration from the interior design, product design, and sportswear industries.
As for the bespoke models, Maserati says that unlike the neighbors in Maranello, it has no plans to reject a customer's creative choices to protect the Maserati image. Instead, the brand will work with customers through every step of the design process to create a one-of-one model. As part of that process, Maserati will send a wooden box with physical examples for customers to get a sense of the available color and material.
For customers with deep enough pockets, the brand will even work to create bespoke colors that won't be available on any other car. The one thing the brand won't do in the bespoke process is work with customers on bespoke bodywork, though Klaus Busse, Maserati's head of design, said that could become an option in the future.
As proof of concept for the new program, Maserati revealed the MC20 Cielo Less is More...? one-off car. It's got a custom paint job that mixes a a Blu Corse Matte base with a glossy livery made up of geometric shapes inspired by the Bauhaus art style. The shapes are finished in shades of white, blue, yellow, and red.

Italy's ‘Ultra Fast' Hyperloop Train Reaches Major Milestone

One of Italy's most ambitious transportation projects is set to begin testing after passing its feasibility study. The Hyper Transfer hyperloop project, on which research first began in 2013, will commence construction work on a test track in Veneto, spanning 10 kilometers (about six miles) between Padua and Venice. The hyperloop project is designed to transport passengers and cargo at record speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour, thanks to the use of magnetic levitation through vacuums. The vacuum means there is no air resistance on the front of the vehicle, allowing transport tubes to move at very high speeds. The technology has been tested in various parts of the world, including India, but the construction of a test site in Italy would be a major breakthrough for the concept in Europe. The hyperloop project has completed its feasibility study phase, with Luca Zaia, the president of the Veneto region, announcing that the test track would be built in his area. Zaia told the Transportation Logistics Fair in Munich this week: "It is not a futuristic vision but a concrete project born in Veneto...A revolutionary technology, strongly desired by the Veneto Region, which is now entering its operational phase." A consortium of four companies is managing the project: HyperloopTT, a Los Angeles-based technology provider and designer; Webuild, Italy's largest engineering contractor; Leonardo, a multinational aerospace and defense monitor; and Hyperloop Italia, the body that licenses the infrastructure. The test track will occupy a 10-kilometer stretch of land. It will be designed to carry both passengers and cargo, allowing the loop's safety systems and energy management technology to be properly tested. HyperloopTT CEO Andrés de Leónsaid in a statement to Newsweek: "This is the moment HyperloopTT has been working towards since 2013. We thank the Italian government, the Veneto region, and CAV for their vision and commitment to sustainable innovation. "We've partnered with some of the best engineering and transportation companies in the world, all with deep roots in the region. We look forward to bringing this first of many hyperloop systems to the world." HyperloopTT COO Andrea La Mendola said: "Italy has always been a cradle of creativity, innovation, and progress, from the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance to the engineering prowess behind their high-speed trains. Today, we stand at the dawn of a new era, poised to redefine mobility once again with the 'Hyper Transfer' project. "This hyperloop system is not just about connecting Venice and Padua in record time; it is a testament to Italy's unwavering spirit of innovation and their commitment to sustainable and efficient transport." The testing process is expected to take several years, although engineers hope that parts of the infrastructure will be operational by 2030.

Something Bold Is Coming From Alfa Romeo: New Stelvio Coming?

Alfa Romeo, like Maserati, isn't in a good place right now. The Stellantis-led marque is in dire need of a turnaround plan with the world's fifth-largest automaker confirming that a major strategy review is in the pipeline for the Italian marques, spearheaded by a new CEO. Wasting no time putting that plan into action, Alfa Romeo has announced a big reveal is set to take place on June 10, 2025, at 4:30 PM CEST (10:30 AM EDT) with the following post shared on it social media accounts: "A new chapter is about to begin. Bold, unexpected, unmistakably Alfa Romeo." So, what is the premium Italian brand cooking? It's no secret that Alfa Romeo is working on the next-generation Stelvio, its best-selling model. Despite being hit by an issue concerning the switch to a hybrid powertrain, the timing's just right. The eight-year-old Stelvio is aging, and the automaker needs to entice fans with a new model. The next-gen Stelvio will use Stellantis' STLA Large platform, which underpins the unpopular Dodge Charger Daytona EV – an architecture flexible enough to cater to both pure EV and hybrid setups. The switch from the previous all-electric powertrain plan to hybrid isn't as easy as flicking a switch, though. That said, we don't expect any powertrain details if this is indeed the new Stelvio, only a look at its new design, which was recently shared via the following patent images. But if it's not a new model, then what else could the teaser be referring to? As you can see in the single teaser provided, the imagery shows the Alfa Romeo badge with a glowing red equilateral triangle. Alfanatics will recognize the triangle from Autodelta, Alfa Romeo's historic racing division. Could Alfa Romeo be about to announce a return to motorsport? Or could it be ready to launch a performance model that harkens to classic Alfas that Autodelta worked on. Whatever Alfa Romeo's planning, we only have a couple of days to find out. So stay tuned.
