London, January 24, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Maserati announced its collaboration with technology and audio partners Politecnico di Milan University (Politecnico di Milano), the Italian Association of the Automotive Industry (ANFIA), and Sonus faber with the MC20 Cielo and Grecale SUV at CES 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Maserati’s ongoing partnership with Politecnico di Milano – Italy’s leading scientific and technological University– continues with the unveiling of a unique MC20 Cielo, featuring an AI driver as part of the Artificial Intelligence Driving Autonomous (AIDA) project, developed by researchers at Politecnico di Milano. AIDA is an ambitious research project led by Politecnico di Milano and MOST (the National Center for Sustainable Mobility), focused on testing and validating autonomous driving on public roads. The project aims to develop reliable technology capable of performing safely and efficiently under real world conditions. This unique super sports car represents the second collaboration between Maserati and Politecnico di Milano. The first, a specialized MC20 Coupe featuring a robo-driver developed by the university, set a record by reaching 285 km/h (177 mph) in dense fog on the runway at Piacenza-San Damiano Air Base in Italy on November 7. This milestone marked the fastest speed ever achieved by an AI-driven production car without human intervention.
Sonus faber will feature two flagship Maserati Grecale SUVs – the Grecale Trofeo and Grecale Folgore – for a series of exclusive dynamic chauffeured test drives. These events will take place in the area surrounding the Arena and offer a unique opportunity to experience the exceptional sound quality of the Sonus faber High Premium sound system featured in both vehicles.
The Maserati Grecale comes standard with the Sonus faber Premium Sound System, which features 14 independently driven speakers for an unprecedented dynamic range. Additionally, the High Premium Sonus faber Sound System, an optional upgrade, boasts 21 independently driven speakers for outstanding performance, smooth frequency response, and precise sound staging. The system has been recognized by the EISA Committee as The Best In-Car Sound System for both 2022 and 2023.
The MC20 and MC20 Cielo super sports cars continue to impress with groundbreaking Formula One-derived Nettuno engine technology and striking design elements, including butterfly doors. The MC20 Cielo features an innovative electrochromic (smart glass) retractable roof. The Grecale Trofeo, Maserati’s “Everyday Exceptional” SUV, strikes the perfect balance between sportiness and elegance, offering best-in-class interior space and a version of the Nettuno engine technology found in the MC20. The Grecale Folgore, Maserati’s first fully electric SUV, features 400-volt technology and a 105-kWh battery, delivering 542 hp and 605 lb-ft of torque—all designed and manufactured in Italy.
