Wow! The mark of a good tuning project is if it can make you fall in love with something you've never been too fond of. That is the case with this Liberty Walk Maserati GranTurismo coupe, the first one of its kind in this world.
Doing something like this has a lot of parallels with fusion cooking. For example, you might not like a particular type of fish, but as long as it's on pizza, it might be delicious. Likewise, Italian dishes might become special if served with the Japanese attention to detail.
The LW Performance widebody kit is a world-famous accessory. There are dozens if not hundreds of unique Nissan GT-Rs on YouTube because of it, not to mention that many celebs have Ferraris and Lamborghinis kitted out in this unique way.
But a Maserati GranTurismo is an entirely different story. It's still in production, yes, but there's no country out there where this has cult status. Could Kato Wataru and his gang change all that? Their way of doing things ruins the classic sleekness of the Italian GT and turns it into a drift poser.
Because of the updates made to the car two years ago, we can't tell whether this really is an MC Stradale or not, but it would be interesting to see an actual Maserati drift car. After installing the fender flares, the large trunk spoiler and front chin, Liberty Walk's last step was to call the Vossen Wheels specialists.
"Before we knew it, time was up and it got dark…but not before capturing a few rollers. After another exhausting day, we headed back to the hotel. Next up, traveling to Osaka to visit Work Wheels Japan. You can see some of that here and watch for the behind the scenes video launch!" says the Miami forged alloy specialist.
So let's check out how they matched a white Italian coupe, black racing wheels from the US and drift-inspired Japanese tuning parts. Check out the video and photo gallery below.
