The models have seats made from woven leather, and only 100 will be offered.
It’s hard to believe, but Monterey Car Week is almost upon us. The event spans the week of August 12, but kick-off events in the area are already underway. Maserati will grace the Quail Meadows starting August 14, and the company will have a pair of limited-edition offerings to entice attendees with. Tweaked versions of the Quattroporte sedan and Levante SUV will offer special trim and interior options.
Specifically, both vehicles will offer a brown PELLETESSUTA interior. That’s not just some fancy name for a run-of-the-mill option – the material is comprised of thin strips of Nappa leather that is woven together, as opposed to being just a big slab of hide. The process essentially mimics that of traditional hand-woven fabrics, with the obvious difference being it’s leather instead of cloth. The end-result is a material that’s said to be durable, lightweight, and in the automotive community, exclusive. Maserati says it’s the only automaker to offer this type of interior.

And it won’t be available on many Maseratis. All total, the company plans to build just 50 Quattroportes and 50 Levantes with the special interior for North America. In addition to the leather, special-edition Quattroporte S Q4 GrandLusso sedans will also receive a custom Blu Sofisticato exterior with blue brake calipers and the interior finished in brown. The Levante S GranSport SUVs will wear an exclusive shade of Bronzo tri-coat on the outside, punctuated with 21-inch polished Helios wheels. Inside, the Levante’s special interior will be finished in black with wood trim. Both models will also get Zegna Edition badging, signifying the company responsible for the leather construction.
Maserati doesn’t mention any pricing for the special edition models, but the company does say orders will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Deliveries are expected to begin in the spring of 2020.

NEW PELLETESSUTA™ INTERIOR BY ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA
The soft, luxurious, lightweight PELLETESSUTA™ material is not only durable but brings comfort and beauty to Maserati interiors. The result of research using thin strips of nappa leather in place of fabric yarns which are woven together and interlaced replicating the traditional method of weaving cloth to obtain a real ‘fabric’ from leather. This method is an example of combining new avant-garde technologies with century-old traditions to create innovation. Through a longstanding partnership between Zegna and Maserati, two historical Italian companies, Maserati is the only automotive company to bring this elevated exclusive interior to the market.
