AWAKENING OF THE SUN

As we rise into the warming months of spring (my favourite season) we are hit with the blooming rebirth of Australia’s beautiful florals. As they too search for the warmer rays of light symbolising new life, regeneration, and raw beauty. It is amongst these 3 months we all find deeper meaning toward our days outside. In pursuit of the perfect route, we step into the first piece of the puzzle; the Maserati Ghibli GranLusso.
In just moments of your first sight you begin to appreciate each and every detailed plan and thought that was invested into giving this vehicle life. Painted in the sophisticated colour of Bianco Alpi and coated in infallible Italian style, this car has the power to naturally ignite the passion for luxury within anyone. This is when you really start to thank yourself for each step you took that led you to the moment of finding yourself in front of such a rare masterpiece.
While sitting at a short standstill or making your way through quiet residential streets at a low speed, the purr of the v6 twin turbo engine vibrates through the soles of your feet infiltrating your whole being with what feels like a sudden rush of newly generated serotonin. This elegant yet sporty sedan provides you with a truly unique experience of driving pleasure. While passing through a world full of common choice there is a sudden comfort that wraps itself around you, the soft black leather interior curated by the one and only Ermenegildo Zegna. As you then enter an open highway you are overcome with pure adrenaline that suddenly reminds you of the very reason why this vehicle isn’t just an artwork for the eye, this noble rear wheel drive vehicle has a 350 horse powered engine that can reach 0-100kms in just 4.9 seconds!
After enjoying the liberating drive through the streets of Sydney we come to a halt before our final route, parked at the top of what feels like an aisle that will lead you to a royal haven, a Jacaranda filled sky is presented in front of us. Lining both sides of this quaint residential street are the browning tree trunks full of wisdom and their overgrown branches that have enveloped each other to create a ceiling of magical bliss a top of us. When driving under the decorative canopies that gracefully turn a blue sky into purple rain there is a harmonious connection between the familiar returning Jacaranda and the childhood supercar dream.

The colour purple, much like the Maserati Ghibli GranLusso often represents royalty, luxury, power and ambition – finally the perfect route. Equivalent to the distinct magic of the blossoming Jacaranda, another rare beauty designed to transform the canvas of Sydney is the Maserati Ghibli GranLusso. As these two extravagant motifs intertwine, you realise there is no other place for this vehicle to be.
