Turin-based design powerhouse GFG Style has once again captured the attention of the global automotive community with the debut of its latest coachbuilt masterpiece. Founded in 2015 by legendary automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son Fabrizio following their departure from Italdesign, the studio has forged a reputation for avant-garde, bespoke creations that push the boundaries of traditional automotive form and function. Their newest creation, unveiled at the prestigious 2026 Pastej\u00e9e Automotive Invitational, is a striking, one-off grand tourer known as the Peralta D. Hand-crafted from hammered copper and draped over the robust mechanical architecture of a Maserati GranTurismo, the Peralta D represents a masterclass in artisanal manufacturing, geometric design philosophy, and deeply personalized automotive engineering.<\/p>\n

The genesis of this remarkable project traces back to a collaborative relationship between GFG Style and Carlos Peralta, a prominent Mexican businessman and a longtime friend of the Giugiaro family. The commission is part of a familial pairing that highlights both the technical capabilities of the Turin studio and a deeply personal narrative. Last year, GFG Style delivered the Peralta S, a mid-engined supercar based upon the Maserati MC20 platform and constructed with a lightweight aluminum body. Commissioned by Peralta as a dedicated tribute to his sons, the Peralta S drew widespread critical acclaim for its retro-futuristic styling cues, which many automotive historians likened to a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Maserati Boomerang. <\/p>\n

Following the successful realization and delivery of the Peralta S, the creative synergy between the client and the designers naturally evolved. This led to the commissioning of a sibling vehicle\u2014the Peralta D\u2014specifically dedicated to Peralta\u2019s daughters. While the Peralta S utilized the athletic, mid-engine proportions of the MC20 to channel aggressive supercar energy, the Peralta D takes a decidedly more classical approach. It adopts the front-engined, 2+2 grand tourer layout of the Maserati GranTurismo, wrapping the donor vehicle\u2019s sophisticated mechanical components in a completely bespoke, hand-beaten copper exterior. Unveiled to collectors, designers, and enthusiasts on October 24, 2026, the Peralta D has officially taken its place within Carlos Peralta\u2019s exclusive private collection. While financial figures remain strictly confidential between the studio and the client, industry analysts note that bespoke, one-off commissions executed by high-profile design houses of this caliber invariably command multi-million-dollar valuations, reflecting the thousands of hours of specialized craftsmanship required to bring them to fruition.<\/p>\n
