Throughout this week, top models from Independent Model Agency are chauffeured around in the latest and most powerful Maserati creations: the GranTurismo S and the Quattroporte S. Both cars are perfectly at home cruising around town, offering a stylish and refined retreat from the feverish catwalk action and creating a sense of occasion every time they appear, thanks to the enticing sound of their exhaust note.

And for car-mad fashionistas Maserati launches today the limited edition Momaboma eco-bag. Hand-made in Italy from old Maserati brochures, the Momaboma bag celebrates the history of one of the most prestigious car brands in the world. Produced in a limited edition of 150 pieces, the Momaboma goes on sale today with a retail price of £130.

The Maserati GranTurismo S is the ultimate expression of the Trident’s sportiness. Its 440 hp V8 4.7 litre engine, electro-actuated gearbox with fast MC Shift, transaxle layout, sporty exhaust and dual-cast brakes make the GranTurismo S a true ambassador for Maserati’s sporting flair, with acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 183 mph, the highest ever reached by a standard production Maserati.

Prices for the Maserati GranTurismo S start from £88,000.

The Maserati Quattroporte S, the latest incarnation of Maserati’s iconic flagship saloon, has a dual soul as a luxury saloon with sports-car performance and is fully responsive in all driving conditions whilst cosseting the driver in its luxurious and distinctive ‘Made in Italy’ interior. It’s equipped with a 4.7 litre V8 delivering a maximum power output of 430 hp, accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of 174 mph.

Prices for the Maserati Quattroporte S start from £83,200
