Monterey Car Week 2014: An Automotive Extravaganza

Maserati makes a splash

After breakfast it was off to Laguna Seca for the North American reveal of the Maserati Alfieri. The invitation-only event for a select group of journalists was hosted by Maserati North America President Peter Grady. As he introduced the car, two models peeled back the azure cover revealing the gorgeous silver prototype below. While I had seen pictures from the reveal earlier this year in Geneva, I can unequivocally state that they don’t do it justice. In person, this car is just heart-stopping. The sensuous curves, muscular flared fenders and elegant proportions come together to create an incredibly beautiful car, and one that honors Maserati’s 100-year heritage perfectly.
