In the world of exotic automotive design, few concepts are as legendary as the Maserati Boomerang—a 1970s design icon that pushed the boundaries of futuristic aesthetics. Fast forward to today, and GFG Style, the design house founded by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro, is breathing new life into this legend. Their creation, the Peralta S, is a striking, modern reinterpretation of the Boomerang, built on a platform that combines cutting-edge performance with retro-modern elegance.
A Legendary Legacy, Reborn
The original Maserati Boomerang was never intended for production. Introduced as a concept car in 1971, it stunned enthusiasts with its angular, wedge-shaped silhouette, wraparound glass cabin, and minimalist interior. Though only one was ever made, it became a poster child for avant-garde automotive design.
The Peralta S pays tribute to this legacy, retaining the wedge-like proportions and signature low-slung stance. But instead of being a museum piece, it’s fully driveable, track-ready, and fitted with a modern 621-horsepower powertrain.
MC20 Power in a Bold New Body
Underneath the futuristic skin, the Peralta S is powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine found in the Maserati MC20, one of the most acclaimed Italian supercars of recent years. This Nettuno engine produces 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, allowing the car to achieve a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h) and sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under 3.2 seconds.
This blend of style and substance places the Peralta S firmly in hypercar territory, capable of delivering both incredible acceleration and top-tier handling.
Radical Design by GFG Style
While the performance numbers are thrilling, the real head-turner is the design. GFG Style—led by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro, who also penned the original Boomerang—has delivered a work of art. The Peralta S boasts a fully carbon fiber body with:
- A sharply chiseled front fascia
- Sculpted wheel arches
- Aerodynamic side channels
- A wraparound windshield that evokes a spaceship cockpit
Its rear is adorned with modern lighting and an active aerodynamic wing, combining retro flair with 21st-century tech. Even the wheels pay homage to the Boomerang with a turbine-like spoke layout.
Lightweight and Agile
Thanks to its carbon fiber construction and lightweight chassis, the Peralta S maintains a curb weight of under 3,300 pounds (1,500 kg). This not only helps its power-to-weight ratio but also enhances its cornering capability and responsiveness.
The suspension has been tuned for both track and road performance, with adaptive damping and adjustable ride height to ensure comfort doesn’t take a backseat to capability.
A Cabin Built for the Future
Step inside, and the interior is where the Peralta S truly sets itself apart. Instead of sticking to tradition, the cockpit is designed to match the radical exterior, with:
- Minimalist digital interfaces
- A floating dashboard
- Fully customizable ambient lighting
- Racing-style bucket seats in Alcantara and carbon fiber
Everything inside the car speaks to a fusion of art and speed, where drivers feel like they’re piloting a concept car brought to life.
Limited Production, Infinite Appeal
GFG Style has hinted that the Peralta S will be produced in limited quantities, likely under 25 units worldwide. This exclusivity makes it a collector’s dream—particularly for fans of Italian automotive design and Giugiaro’s revolutionary work.
Each model will reportedly be hand-built and highly customizable, allowing owners to tailor the car to their exact taste, from paint finish to interior trim.
Aerodynamics and Performance Optimization
Every detail on the Peralta S is designed to enhance airflow and maximize aerodynamic performance. The aggressive front splitter, active rear wing, and underbody channels work together to generate downforce at high speeds, ensuring the car stays glued to the road. Engineers at GFG Style utilized advanced wind tunnel testing to refine the aerodynamic efficiency of the car.
The Return of Giugiaro’s Signature Design
The Peralta S is not just a car—it’s a design renaissance. With Giorgetto Giugiaro at the helm, the car represents a return to bold styling that doesn’t compromise functionality. Giugiaro’s influence is unmistakable in the angular lines and futuristic profile that bridge his historical contributions with a bold modern vision.
Driver-Focused Technology
Beyond its looks, the Peralta S delivers with cutting-edge tech aimed at the driving enthusiast. A track mode display, real-time telemetry, augmented reality HUD, and AI-assisted driving aids elevate the experience for both everyday driving and spirited canyon runs.
GFG Style isn’t just building a fast car—they’re redefining what it means to be connected to your machine.
Sustainability in Supercars
Even in the realm of high-performance vehicles, sustainability has its place. The Peralta S integrates eco-conscious materials in its interior, including recycled carbon composites and vegan leather. Paired with efficient engine management systems, the car demonstrates that green thinking can live in the supercar world without compromising thrills.
The Maserati That Could Have Been
Although it’s not officially badged as a Maserati, the Peralta S exists as a spiritual successor to one of the brand’s most iconic concepts. By using Maserati MC20 hardware and design language inspired by the Boomerang, it bridges past and future in a way few supercars ever achieve.
It’s a celebration of Italian design heritage with the performance of a modern track monster.
The Giugiaro Legacy Lives On
For Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son Fabrizio, the Peralta S is more than just a showpiece—it’s a declaration. That bold, timeless design still matters in an industry shifting toward efficiency and digital conformity.
The Peralta S reminds us that cars can still be emotional, provocative, and wildly beautiful, even as they push the limits of power and performance.
