In 63 years of life, Barbie has had more than 150 professions obeying her motto: “You can be whatever you want to be”, with which it has inspired children, especially girls, by reminding them that the limit is oneself so they can become whatever they want and make their dreams come true.
In 1962, this doll added the cars to her sets starting with the Austin Healey 3000 Mk II and from there his collection has not stopped growing. Time has done its thing and the then girls have become women but their desire to continue playing with cars has not disappeared.
Although I speak in a personal capacity, the collaboration between the firm of the trident and Barbie confirms that now the cars must be bigger so the new Maserati Grecale 2023 adapts to the multifaceted lifestyle of flesh and blood Barbies, ranging from a business meeting to a glamorous event like the Neiman Marcus 2022 Fantasy Gifts Reveal where One of the three units of the Barbie x Maserati Grecale Trofeo SUV stole all eyes.
Barbie’s iconic shade of pink covers the body, sealed with an iridescent top coat, giving it an unmistakable rainbow effect. The exterior girly look could not clash with the interior since it has black leather seats with pink leather accents throughout. The doors are decorated with Barbie pink stitching and the headrests are marked with a signature “B” badge.
To pay homage to the Maserati 250F’s timeless design and vintage Barbie doll packaging, fine lines in a vibrant yellow color adorn the Maserati Fuoriserie logo and air ventswhile the Neiman Marcus and Barbie logos are featured in gloss black.
As the top of the range of this SUV mounts V6 3.0L Nettuno with 530 horsepower, offering a 0 to 100 km/h 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 285 km/hthe motorization is respected, in addition to being coupled to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.
This US-exclusive custom edition is priced at $330,000, and through March 31, 2023, 10% of its value will go to the Barbie Dream Gap Project, Barbie’s global initiative that partners with charities to help provide equal opportunity and remove barriers for girls.
