Maserati has introduced a new special edition of its mid-size SUV. The Grecale Lumina Blu brings a fresh take on the Modena trim with a striking Night Interaction paint finish and bold yellow details that stand out straight away.
On the outside you get 21 inch Pegaso wheels, yellow brake calipers and a yellow Trident badge on the rear pillar. Matrix LED headlights and tinted rear windows finish off the look.
Inside, Maserati has gone for a light Ghiaccio leather interior with open pore burl wood and a sporty steel pedal box. It mixes traditional craftsmanship with modern tech to create a calm, premium space. Standard kit includes a panoramic roof, motion-sensor electric tailgate, heated and cooled 14-way front seats, a heated steering wheel and a 360 degree camera system.
Power comes from the familiar 2.0 litre mild hybrid engine with 330 hp, matched to an eight speed automatic and all wheel drive. It aims to offer smooth everyday performance with the efficiency benefits of hybrid assistance.
The Grecale Lumina Blu adds another stylish option to the brand’s SUV range and shows Maserati pushing further into special edition models that carry extra visual flair and comfort features. I am looking forward to seeing this in person as the combination of deep metallic blue and yellow accents should look great on the road.
A triumphant week celebrating Maserati’s homecoming
Maserati has returned home to Modena with a celebration that captured everything the Trident stands for: passion, performance, and Italian flair. The event, called Maserati Meccanica Lirica, marked the return of GranTurismo and GranCabrio production to the historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant, the true heart of the brand.
From 5 to 9 November 2025, Modena hosted a week of music, art, and automotive heritage. Maserati combined its mechanical excellence with the lyrical rhythm of Italian culture to create something unforgettable.
Where music met mechanics
The celebrations began with an exclusive night at the Teatro Comunale Modena Pavarotti-Freni. Maserati turned opera into an immersive automotive experience. The Maserati Meccanica Lirica concept brought together live music, art, and engineering, showing the harmony between performance and emotion that defines the brand.
The night reached its peak when the GranTurismo Meccanica Lirica One-Off appeared on stage. The Modena Philharmonic Orchestra performed Puccini’s Nessun Dorma as the car was revealed. Composer Dardust added a modern twist by mixing classical and electronic music. It was a perfect reflection of Maserati’s blend of tradition and innovation.
Craftsmanship and tradition reborn
The celebrations then moved to the Viale Ciro Menotti plant. Maserati officially reopened its GranTurismo and GranCabrio assembly line and welcomed guests inside. Visitors met the engineers and artisans who build every car by hand.
Two Meccanica Lirica One-Offs were on display, showing off the mix of Italian craftsmanship and modern design. Maserati used the event to reaffirm its deep commitment to Modena as the home of its creativity and production excellence.
A city transformed
Over the weekend, Modena turned into a living showcase for the brand. Streets and landmarks were dressed in the city’s yellow and blue colours. Sixty Maserati models, both classic and modern, joined a spectacular parade.
A 1959 GT Spyder 3500 led the vintage line-up, while the GranTurismo Folgore represented the brand’s future as its first fully electric grand tourer. The event drew huge crowds and plenty of smiles.
The parade ended at the Modena Autodromo, where guests took to the track for hot laps in the GT2 Stradale, MC20, and the new GranTurismo. The sound of engines filled the air once again, thanks to a tuned exhaust system created to highlight that distinctive Maserati note.
A cultural homecoming
To make the event even more special, Roberto Bolle, Italy’s most famous ballet star, performed his piece Waves. The performance, a duet with laser light, captured the spirit of the week by combining tradition with technology.
Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura curated the dining experiences, celebrating the shared passion for artistry and precision that connects Modena’s food culture and its most iconic carmaker.
The modern Maserati lineup
Maserati’s current range shows how far the brand has come. Alongside the GranTurismo and GranCabrio, the line-up features the Grecale SUV, the MC20 supercar, its open-top MC20 Cielo, and the new GT2 Stradale. Power options include V6 petrol engines and full-electric drivetrains, such as the GranTurismo Folgore and Grecale Folgore.
Each model continues Maserati’s mission to redefine Italian luxury for the electric age. More importantly, they prove that performance and sustainability can coexist beautifully.
The sound of Modena lives on
Maserati Meccanica Lirica was more than a celebration. It was a statement of intent. Maserati is staying true to its roots and reinforcing Modena as the heart of its engineering and design.
Through a mix of art, craftsmanship, and performance, the brand has reminded the world why the sound of a Maserati is unlike anything else. The Trident’s voice continues to echo across the globe; proud, powerful, and unmistakably Italian.
