Love is said to be a universal language. So, whether one is Italian or Chinese, it's still easy to understand. This concept is what drove the creation of a new special edition from Maserati. Dubbed as the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious, this special model created between Maserati and Canotwait_ basically marries Italian audacious performance with Chinese love-inspired style.

A Special Few-Off Edition In Digital Aura

Canotwait_, the fashion brand founded by celebrity William Chan, has tapped Maserati – in particular the carmaker's Maserati Fuoriserie customization program – to create a special edition based from the electrified Ghibli Hybrid. The hybrid vehicle served as a blank canvas on which Canotwait_ can paint its young and daring fashion and style. The result of this artwork is the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious.

Only eight examples (at the start) of the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious will be created by Maserati Fuoriserie. This makes the special model a "few off" edition, as marked by special exclusive elements such as a new special exterior purplish coat color dubbed Digital Aurora.

Exterior Inspired By Audacious Love

Digital Aurora is a distinct emotional color defined by the terms "love" and "audacious." It's inspired by the sunrise and the Aurora light. In effect, it blends burned purple with calming bluish hints. Since it's a three-layer coating, Digital Aurora also features an experimental pink glass flakes pigment for a digital effect. Interestingly, purple – which adds a touch of mystery and rarity -- is one of William's favorite colors.

Completing the exterior looks of the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious are 20-inch Teseo wheels in Dark Miron finish. To make the eight examples of the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious more exclusive, they would wear two customized badges from Canotwait_. One of these can be seen above the Maserati air vents, while the other badge is found inside the cabin.

Celebrating Love On A Special Day

Interestingly, Canotwait_ picked May 20 as the date of unveiling the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious and the launch of a pop-up store in Shanghai. This is because the numerical equivalent of the date – 520 – is a set of Chinese love numbers with a hidden meaning: “I love you.” In fact, May 20, is considered a day of celebrating love among Chinese.
