Giugiaro’s Commissioned Peralta S is a Wedge-Shaped Alloy Beauty

Giugiaro is regarded as the greatest automotive designer ever, and the famed Italian automotive designer has seemingly harked back to the design iconism of 1970s conceptual supercars while merging the wedge-shaped design with the aesthetics of the alloy-finished Tesla Cybertruck. Say hello to the one-off Peralta S!

Named automotive designer of the 20th century, Giorgetto Giugiaro is the undisputed great of creating the most iconic vehicles of the past. Continuing his name and tradition is GFG Style which was founded by the Italian visionary Giorgetto and his son Fabrizio. Their latest work has seen the covers whipped off of a wedge-shaped piece of motoring perfection dubbed the Peralta S, which will be a one-off. This bespoke supercar was commissioned by Mexican collector Carlos Peralta and his sons, Juan Carlos and Nicolas, and made its debut at the Pastejé Automotive Invitational in Mexico on March 22, 2025. ​

The Peralta S very obviously draws inspiration from a time of wedge-shape excess. The lines and overall profile are reminiscent of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s iconic 1971 Maserati Boomerang concept, albeit with some modernised details which seem to be inspired by Tesla’s Cybertruck bakkie. Designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro, the wedge-shaped profile features a handcrafted aluminium body with a mirror-polished finish that seamlessly integrates with expansive glass surfaces, achieving a monolithic appearance. ​

Distinctive design elements include side windows that swing upwards in a gullwing fashion and a forward-lifting canopy like Gandini’s Stratos Zero. The interior is tailored to the owner’s specifications, combining materials such as leather, aluminium, and carbon fibre to create a luxurious yet functional environment. ​

Although unconfirmed, the Peralta S is believed to be based on the Maserati MC20 platform which would mean it rides on the hypercar’s carbon fibre chassis and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. Should the powertrain remain as it was from the factory, it would power the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with 463 kW and 730 N.m. In the case of the MC20, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 2.9 seconds and achieve a top speed of 325 km/h but since so little is known of this one-off Peralta S, no confirmation on performance can be provided.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
