Maserati has strengthened its presence in India with the opening of VST Maserati’s first flagship showroom in Bangalore, operated by the VST Group as Maserati’s official partner in South India.
The opening held on October 11, was marked by the regional debut of the brand’s newest super sports car, the MCPura.
The celebratory launch was attended by Giandomenico Milano, Consul General of Italy in Bangalore. The occasion signified Maserati’s expansion of its retail network in India, bringing the Trident’s heritage and innovation closer to customers in South India.
The facility offers direct access to Maserati’s celebrated line-up, including the Grecale SUV, the new-generation GranTurismo grand tourer, and now the MCPura, Maserati’s next-generation super sports car that represents the brand’s purest vision of design and performance.
Speaking at the event, Arun Surendra, Chairman and Group Managing Director of VST Group, said: “The debut of the Maserati MCPura alongside the opening of our first Bengaluru showroom marks a milestone for VST Group as Maserati’s official partner in South India. With a legacy of over one hundred years, we have built trusted partnerships across industries and now bring that commitment to the luxury automotive market. Our vision is to deliver a Maserati ownership experience in this region that reflects Italian craftsmanship, global standards, and VST’s tradition of excellence.”
Philippe Claverol, Head of Maserati Overseas Region, commented: “We are delighted to inaugurate this new flagship showroom in Bengaluru, which reflects Maserati’s latest retail identity and our commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience in South India. Showcasing the MCPura here, alongside the opening of this landmark facility, underscores the importance of this market and brings the Trident’s performance legacy and design excellence closer to our clients in the region.”
The MCPura, evolved from the acclaimed MC20, combines a lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque chassis with the now-iconic 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, the result of a true technological revolution covered by international patents and 100 per cent made at Maserati. Delivering 630 PS at 7500 rpm and 720 Nm of torque from 3000 rpm, the MCPura accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. The secret of its performance lies in the innovative pre-chamber combustion system with twin spark plugs, a technology derived from Formula 1.
Hand-built at Maserati’s historic plant on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena, alongside the Nettuno engine and the GT2 Stradale, the MCPura represents the highest expression of Maserati’s engineering innovation and artisanal Italian craftsmanship. Available immediately for built-to-order in both Coupé and Cielo (convertible) versions, it combines race-derived technology with elegance and refinement, setting a new benchmark for luxury performance in India.
