Maserati has launched a one-off model of its Grecale SUV, called the 'Grecale Mission From Mars.' The company has billed it as an order from Mars. The car has a Galactic Orange finish and several other customizations that are inspired by Mars and space travel. This one-off model is part of the Fuoriserie program. To recall, the Grecale SUV was unveiled earlier this month.
