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. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Move Over, Cybertruck, This Is How You Make an Exposed Metal Wedge Car
Check out the Peralta S: It's a new one-off supercar designed by GFG Style, the Italian design firm founded by designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio. The Peralta is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car, but more important, it's a hand-built wedge car made entirely out of mirror-polished aluminum. According to GFG, the design for the Peralta S was largely inspired by the that Giorgetto Giugiaro himself designed. Step aside, Tesla Cybertruck. This is how you build an exposed-metal wedge car. It's called the Peralta S, and it's built by GFG Style, the Italian design firm launched in 2015 by the famous designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio. The body is made with hand-bent, mirror-polished aluminum that stretches across the length of a car in an unbroken arc. The only parts of the car that aren't made from aluminum are the side sills, front spoiler, and rear diffuser, which are all made from exposed carbon fiber. Rather than using traditional doors (boring), the Peralta S has a huge front-hinged canopy that extends upward, giving way to the car's cabin (cool). The out-there design doesn't stop there. Rather than use traditional windows, which would have broken the car's shape, the Peralta S has a huge gullwing-style window on each side. According to GFG Style, the Peralta draws inspiration for its styling from the 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept, which is fitting, given that Giorgetto Giugiaro designed that car too. The one-off was commissioned by the Mexican car collector Carlos Peralta and two sons, who gave the car its name. Under the crazy design, the Peralta S is based on the Maserati MC20. That means a mid-engine, rear-drive layout pushing out 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6.
