Classic Italian craftsmanship, chromatic effects, velvet-smooth fabrics and an engine to match - the new Maserati Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna limited edition concept car offers this and much more. Recently unveiled at the Frankfurt 65th International Motor Show, there happen to be only 100 units of this collection, to be ordered by customers from around the world.

The exteriors
Ultra-fine aluminium pigments have been used to create a special effects paint that gives the sense of depth. This paint has also been applied on the 20-inch Mercurio rims to create a chromatic contrast, which makes the car look both sporty and classic.

The interiors

More From This Section

This is where the collaboration between Zegna and Maserati really comes into play. Zegna has reinvented its fabrics for automotive applications. Classical warm hues, that are integral to Zegna's latest men's fashion collection, have been reinterpreted with masculine herringbone patterns to convey a sophisticated character. Genuine soft leather has been used in seats, door panels and roof lining. With fabrics created in greige tint and given an antique look matt walnut finish, the car's interiors look balanced and harmonious.

The exclusive touch
The collaboration between the two luxury brands is announced through two plates obtained from aluminum ingot bearing the words: Ermenegildo Zegna Exclusively for Maserati. While one is positioned on the outside of the pillar, the other is personalised with a limited series number and is applied to the central console. A fabric label, the likes sewed into the linings of a Zegna suit, can also be found behind the sun visor.

The specifications
The Maserati Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition is equipped with V8 twin turbo engine with 530 HP, a torque of 710 Nm, a top speed of 307 kmph and an acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph, in 4.7 seconds. Price on request.

A complete luxury experience
This collaboration doesn't just end with the car. The two brands have also come up with an 'Owner's Collection' that comprises leather goods, lifestyle accessories and a 3.5m cut of ZegnaSilk fabric, featuring the herringbone pattern as featured in the car.
