In addition to the ‘Barbie’ lettering on the front wheel arches, you’ve got a massive ‘B’ on the C-pillar.
The gloss black wheels complete the look along with the carbon diffuser and the shiny tailpipes.
The cabin is a little less flashy.
The seats are upholstered using a combination of black leather and sports fabric with contrast pink stitching.
Pink was also used for the door panels and the center console.
The Barbie Maserati is based on the high-performance ‘Trofeo’ version of the Grecale.
Under the hood, you’ll find Maserati’s flagship V6 ‘Nettuno’ engine, putting out 530 hp.
The car is no slouch: it does 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, and it has a top speed of 177 mph.
Maserati said it will only build two units.
The first one will be available from Neiman Marcus, a luxury retailer based in Los Angeles, and priced at $330k.
Details about the second car will be revealed at a later date.
