About the Maserati GranTurismo Liberty Walk Black with Gold Wheels AB Models 1:18
TL;DR: AB Models' 1:18 resin Maserati GranTurismo wears Liberty Walk's widebody kit in gloss black with gold wheels over the 2013 model's Pininfarina-designed body. The one-piece resin casting has no opening panels, applying an unusual widebody treatment to a grand tourer rather than the studio's typical exotic subjects.
Liberty Walk kits usually land on cars built for outright drama, Lamborghinis and GT-Rs, so finding one on a Maserati GranTurismo is a genuine surprise. AB Models' resin cast in black and gold treats that surprise as the whole appeal, letting a grand tourer wear a kit built for something more aggressive.
AB Models' Resin Cast of a Liberty Walk GranTurismo
Wide Fenders on a Grand Tourer's Long Body
The GranTurismo's proportions are already long and low by Maserati standards, a shape built for high-speed comfort rather than track-day aggression, which makes Liberty Walk's overfenders read a little differently here than on a shorter, more compact exotic. The flares extend the car's width without shortening its visual length, so the GranTurismo keeps its grand-touring silhouette even under a kit designed for something more confrontational. AB Models casts that flare transition as one continuous resin surface, holding a clean edge along the car's long doors and rear quarters where a stepped seam would be most visible.
Gloss Black Paint and Gold Wheel Contrast
Gloss black is a demanding finish for a scale model, since every surface imperfection shows under direct light, and resin's cast surface holds that gloss evenly across a body this long without the faint waviness a stamped panel occasionally shows near a seam. The gold wheels are the color decision doing most of the work here, a warm accent against the black that draws the eye straight to the widened arches and the wheel fitment inside them. That contrast is a classic tuner-culture pairing, and it reads as confidently on an Italian grand tourer as it does on the exotic supercars Liberty Walk usually kits.
An Unusual Canvas for Liberty Walk's Kit
The GranTurismo's Pininfarina-Designed Lines
Maserati commissioned Pininfarina to design the GranTurismo, and the result leans toward classic Italian grand-touring proportions, a long hood, a sweeping roofline, and restrained surfacing rather than aggressive vents and scoops. That restraint is precisely what makes a Liberty Walk kit stand out so clearly here. On a car already covered in aggressive styling cues, an overfender kit can blend into the noise. On a GranTurismo's calmer surfacing, the kit's flares and stance work stay the visual focus from every angle. The contrast between Pininfarina's restraint and Liberty Walk's aggression is really the entire argument for this build existing at all.
Why a Tuner Kit Suits a Different Kind of Buyer
This isn't a build for a collector chasing the most obvious Liberty Walk subject. It's a pick for someone who already owns the expected Lamborghini or GT-R kits and wants a build that says something more specific about taste, a grand tourer treated like a supercar rather than another exotic wearing the kit it was arguably designed for. AB Models, as a smaller resin specialist working in this same tuner-focused segment, gives that niche pairing a genuinely finished presentation rather than a novelty. That specificity is worth paying for at this tier, since a broader, more generic tuner subject wouldn't carry the same conversation-starting quality on a shelf.
A Rare Tuner Pick Among Italian GTs
A widebody Maserati earns its place through rarity rather than obvious appeal, and that's a legitimate collecting strategy on its own. AB Models' resin construction keeps the price sensible relative to a hand-built alternative, while still delivering the flare crispness and wheel contrast the build depends on. Set next to a stock GranTurismo or a Liberty Walk supercar, this piece makes the case that the studio's design language has more range than its usual subjects suggest, and that range is exactly what a discerning tuner-focused shelf should show. It's a quieter statement than a pink Murcielago, but for a shelf built around variety rather than repetition, quieter is often the more interesting choice.
