This is the GFG Style Peralta S, a wedge-shaped Maserati tribute designed by Giugiaro.
Inspired by iconic wedge-shaped supercars of the 1970s, this supercar was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son.
Some people call it the Maserati Peralta S because it is primarily a tribute to the 1972 Maserati Boomerang, also designed by Giugiaro.
But you’ll never guess what lies underneath.

Why Giugiaro created the Peralta S
The GFG Style Peralta S is a one-off supercar designed by a company created by famed Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.
In the 1970s, Giugiaro designed the Maserati Boomerang, a concept car that unfortunately never made it to production.
Over half a century later, this incredible vehicle is back with a modern twist, starting from the fact that it’s made entirely out of mirror-polished aluminum, which means this supercar doubles as a gigantic mirror if you want.
There’s more because instead of using ‘normal’ doors, the Peralta S has a massive front-hinged canopy that extends upward, and it also features a fully retractable – and absolutely massive – wing at the back.
Under the surface and the retro-futuristic body, you’ll find the underpinnings of the record-breaking Maserati MC20.
You’ll also find the same 621hp, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine as the MC20.
It’d be difficult to tell if you didn’t know, but it kind of makes sense when you look at the overall shape and proportions of the Peralta.
Back when wedge-shaped cars were all the rage
Wedge-shaped supercars used to be a thing in the 1970s and 1980s.
Everyone had a go at it, from Honda to Maserati and even Aston Martin.
This particular design trend isn’t really a thing anymore, but automakers still toy with the idea from time to time.
About a year ago, Honda brought back one of its iconic wedge-shaped vehicles in modern form.
Hopefully, sooner or later, we’re also going to have a production Peralta S.
