Meet The World' s Rarest Maserati Gran Turismo Sport

Aug. 13, 2020 7:35 PM ET by Sebastian Cenizo Video / 19 Comments One of just three in the world. When it comes to Italian exotics, just owning one should be enough for most people. If you ever get bored, you can replace it and restart the love affair. At least that was the notion that Islam Hammad, the owner of a Maserati Gran Turismo Sport, once had. The man was looking to replace his Italian GT with a Lamborghini Huracan but quickly realized that in his part of the world, Huracans are a dime a dozen. Getting something more unique, rarer, more eye-catching is a challenge when you live in a place like Dubai. So what can you do? Why not modify your Maserati? ArabGT ArabGT ArabGT ArabGT As the video from our friends at ArabGT above explains, modifying exotic Italian sports cars and supercars is a challenge, not only because of price but also because there are few aftermarket parts available and even fewer workshops that know what they're doing with precious metal like this. Nevertheless, you can get some fancy wheels or a performance upgrade, but to truly stand out, you need something no one else has. Thus, Hammad enlisted the services of Fos Concepts in Dubai, where his Maserati received a body kit called Antivirus. Just three Maseratis in the world have this kit, and Hammad's is the only one in the region. Take that, Bugatti Chiron owners. First, the body was changed to that of the MC Stradale model, a car that also donated its brakes. Then the over-fender body kit was applied with extensive use of carbon fiber, a favored material that resurfaces in the custom interior. Carbon is applied to the steering wheel and other trims, some of it even in red, while a new touchscreen display replaces the standard infotainment system.

Finally, Airlift Performance 3P management controls the air suspension system, complete with a hardline trunk install, allowing Hammad to slam the car when parked and drive it at a useable height when on the road. So how much did all this cost? In total, all of the parts added up come to $39,000. Seems pretty reasonable for something this rare - even if the end product is arguable rather divisive.
