The Peralta S Supercar Monterey debut is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about moments of Car Week 2025. If you crave innovation, design pedigree, and raw automotive artistry, this is your call to attention.
A bold debut for the Peralta S Supercar
Making its first and only appearance at Monterey Motorsports Festival, the Peralta S is far more than another exotic supercar. Built by Italian design house GFG Style, co-founded by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro, the car celebrates a one-off vision for collector Carlos Peralta. After being revealed in Mexico earlier this year, it’s now headed to the U.S. for the very first time.
The festival, taking place on August 16 at the Monterey Fairgrounds, offers a rare opportunity to witness this machine in person. It’s an exclusive moment for car lovers, and it’s not expected to repeat.
Power meets sculpture: a supercar with purpose
Beneath its striking, hand-formed aluminum wedge-shaped body lies the beating heart of a Maserati MC20. That means a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 621 horsepower, powering the rear wheels with ferocity and finesse.
The body features carbon fiber aero enhancements, and a theatrical front-hinged canopy opens the way into the futuristic interior. Inspired by the iconic 1972 Maserati Boomerang, this creation is pure visual drama with performance to match.
A celebration of Italian automotive heritage
Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI) also returns to Monterey with its official support and cultural mission. For a second year, ASI will award a special vehicle at the event that embodies historical significance and Italian passion. With over 150,000 members and 300 clubs across Italy, ASI’s presence underlines the global importance of preserving automotive heritage.
President Alberto Scuro praised MMF’s format for attracting younger audiences to the world of classic cars. Their continued support adds real credibility to the show’s ambitions.
What not to do when collecting cars
Another highlight of the festival will be a practical and fast-paced session hosted by internationally respected expert Laura Kukuk. Known as a “classic car detective,” Laura will share critical insights on inspections, authenticity, and understanding a vehicle’s true history.
Collectors and enthusiasts alike will gain valuable tools for navigating today’s complex automotive market. Her session begins at 5:30 PM on August 16 and promises to be packed with sharp, useful takeaways.
A festival for every kind of car lover
From hypercars and classic muscle to JDM favorites and EVs, the 2025 Monterey Motorsports Festival has something for everyone. General admission starts at $119, with junior and kid-friendly pricing available. The Vino & Vibes package adds access to premium wineries and a more relaxed experience.
Whether you’re a fan of Italian design, historic preservation, or simply want to get close to world-class machines, this year’s festival is the place to be.
Summary
With the Peralta S Supercar Monterey debut, ASI honors, and insightful collector workshops, this year’s Monterey Motorsports Festival blends innovation, legacy, and community like never before. It’s a rare moment for enthusiasts to witness greatness in motion.
