  An Italian luxury-automotive brand (Stellantis) whose marketing site runs a near-black
  canvas (#02070d) split across dark and light sections, with a single amber-gold voltage
  (#ffc845) wired as --c-accent that surfaces as a CTA underline, section divider, and
  model-badge accent — never as a filled button. Type runs the Everett family in three
  optical weights: Everett-Light at 64-92px with tight -2 to -3.68px tracking for
  full-bleed hero headlines (uppercase on the dark sections, mixed-case on the white
  "model range" reveal), Everett at weight 500 for uppercase 11-22px labels, and
  Everett-Medium for the smallest nav and link caps. The white below-fold section
  uses pure black ink on a white ground — a rare two-canvas inversion that no other
  luxury automotive brand in this directory uses on the same page.

  metaDescription: "Maserati's marketing design system as DESIGN.md. Amber gold #ffc845 on near-black #02070d, Everett-Light at 64-92px, two-canvas dark/white inversion, 15 color tokens, 12 components. For React, Next.js, AI tools."
  highlights:
    - "Two-canvas inversion — the hero section runs near-black (#02070d) with white text; the model-range reveal section flips to pure white with black ink; no other luxury automotive brand in this directory uses the full inversion on the same page"

    Maserati's marketing site is built as a two-canvas film: a near-black (#02070d) opening section carries full-bleed car photography with white Everett-Light headlines at 64-92px in uppercase — the trident-badge hero sequence — and then the page cuts to pure white for the model-range reveal, where large mixed-case headlines in the same Everett-Light family render in black ink at 92px / -3.68px tracking. The inversion is not a mode-toggle or a decorative band — it is a structural act, the dark section representing night-time performance and the white section representing the day-lit "extraordinary model range" gallery. Where Ferrari keeps its marketing in a single near-black register and Alfa Romeo stays in charcoal, Maserati treats the two canvases as a cinematic cut.

    This DESIGN.md packages Maserati's marketing system into a machine-readable spec. Inside: 15 color tokens drawn from the two-canvas system (near-black family for the dark sections, pure white and near-black ink for the light sections), a single amber-gold voltage at #ffc845 (wired as --c-accent and --yellow) appearing 12 times as accent borders and underlines, three Everett optical-weight cuts (Light at 64-92px for display, regular at 11-22px for labels, Medium for the smallest caps), a near-zero radius scale (only 2px for subtle surface edge-softening), and 12 component definitions covering the dark hero, model-card gallery, amber-gold CTA link, and the light-canvas section.

    Feed this file to Claude or Cursor and it reproduces Maserati's specific moves: two-canvas dark-to-light inversion rather than a single surface, amber-gold reserved as a perimeter accent rather than a fill, Everett-Light with extreme -3.68px tracking at 92px for the full-bleed uppercase moment, and sharp 0px corners throughout. The most transferable pattern for other luxury brands is the two-canvas inversion: it lets a dark-photography hero section coexist with an editorial product-range section without either feeling like a compromise.

  questions:
    - id: "primary-color"
      title: "What is Maserati's primary brand color?"
      answer: "Maserati's brand voltage is amber gold at #ffc845, wired into the CSS as --c-accent, --yellow, and --warning. It appears 12 times in the captured marketing page — 4 as text, 3 as background fill, 5 as border — making it a perimeter accent rather than a fill color. The amber gold surfaces as underline accents beneath CTA links, border highlights on model-year badges, and section divider lines between the dark and light canvas bands. It never fills a button background — the system uses link-style CTAs with amber underlines rather than the pill-CTA convention that most SaaS brands follow. Ferrari uses Rosso Corsa as a fill voltage; Maserati uses amber gold as a detail accent. The distinction is intentional: the trident badge's gold finish is a craft signal, not a brand shout."
    - id: "typography"
      title: "What typeface does Maserati use and what are the key settings?"
      answer: "Maserati runs the Everett family in three optical weights: Everett-Light (weight 300, declared as a separate font-face variant) for the largest display headlines at 60-92px; Everett (weight 400 at body sizes, 500 at labels) for body copy, nav labels, and the 11-22px uppercase label tier; and Everett-Medium (weight 500, separate font-face) for the smallest caps at 11px. The hero h2 extraction is Everett-Light at 92px / weight 300 / -3.68px tracking / uppercase — an extreme tracking at this scale. Section headings drop to 64px / weight 300 / -1.92px tracking, also uppercase. Labels run at 11px / weight 500 / 1px tracking uppercase — the opposite end of the scale. The closest open-source substitute for Everett-Light at the display tier is Neue Haas Grotesk Display Pro at weight 300; at the label tier, Helvetica Neue or Inter at weight 500 uppercase with 0.09em letter-spacing."
    - id: "two-canvas"
      title: "Why does Maserati use two different canvas colors on the same page?"
      answer: "The near-black canvas (#02070d) and the pure-white canvas (#ffffff, with #000000 ink) are structural rather than decorative — the dark canvas carries night-photography hero sections and the white canvas carries the full-daylight model-range gallery. The cut between them is hard: no gradient, no transitional band. The extracted hero heading ('An extraordinary model range') is in black ink on white, while the above-fold hero imagery and 'The Year of the Trident' headline sit on near-black with white text. Ferrari holds a single near-black register across its entire marketing surface; Alfa Romeo uses a two-tone charcoal; Maserati makes the inversion explicit by going to pure white. The move lets model photography render at full color fidelity on white — car photography looks different on white than on dark, and Maserati's model-range section is explicitly a product catalog."
    - id: "corner-radius"
      title: "What corner-radius style does Maserati use?"
      answer: "Maserati uses near-zero rounding throughout. The extracted radius values are: 50% (6 occurrences — circular elements like the audio-play button), 66.67px (2 occurrences — a specific pill-radius on a small badge element), and 2px (1 occurrence — a hairline-radius for subtle surface softening). There is no general-purpose 4, 8, or 16px card radius. Structural cards, image frames, and CTA elements are sharp-cornered. Like Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Cadillac in this directory, Maserati treats 0px corners as the luxury-automotive default — a connection to the hard-edge geometry of precision-machined surfaces. The 66.67px value is a specific badge element rather than a general button radius."
    - id: "use-in-project"
      title: "Can I use this DESIGN.md to build a luxury automotive marketing site?"
      answer: "Yes — the file is designed to be fed into Claude, Cursor, or any AI tool that reads structured design tokens. The agent will reproduce Maserati's specific moves: near-black-to-white two-canvas inversion, amber-gold as a perimeter accent rather than a fill, Everett-Light with -3.68px tracking at 92px for the headline moment, uppercase typography at every scale from 11px to 92px, and 0px corners throughout. The pattern most worth adapting independently of the brand is the two-canvas inversion: dark canvas for photography-first hero sections, white canvas for product-range galleries. The amber-gold CTA underline (replacing the conventional filled pill button) is the second distinctive move — it works in luxury contexts where a filled CTA button would read as too transactional."

## Overview

Maserati's marketing site is structured as an alternating sequence of two canvases — dark and light — that cut between each other like film frames rather than blending at a gradient. **Two-canvas inversion.** The dark sections (`{colors.canvas}` — #02070d, wired as --c-bg) carry full-bleed automotive photography with white Everett-Light text; the light sections use pure white ground (`{colors.canvas-light}` — #ffffff) with near-black ink at 92px Everett-Light to present the model lineup as a gallery catalog. Where Ferrari sustains its near-black register for the full marketing scroll and Alfa Romeo modulates within a two-tone charcoal, Maserati makes the inversion a structural device — the darkness represents the performance identity, the white represents the product clarity. The two canvases share the same type family at the same extreme sizes; only the figure-ground relationship changes.

The amber-gold voltage (`{colors.primary}` — #ffc845, --c-accent) is strictly a perimeter accent: it appears on underline decorations beneath CTA links, on divider lines between sections, and on model-badge borders — never as a button fill. This restraint is a function of the brand's register: the trident emblem's gold finish reads as craft, not interface. Filling a button with it would reduce it from a material signal to a color assignment. The 12 captured occurrences (4 text, 3 bg, 5 border) confirm the scarcity.

Typography is the Everett family in three weights (Light, regular, Medium), all treated as uppercase instruments. The largest display moment is Everett-Light at 92px / weight 300 / -3.68px tracking — an extreme compression at this scale that gives headlines the tight-set quality of condensed display type without actually using a condensed cut. At 11px / weight 500 / +1px tracking, the label tier runs at the opposite pole: the same uppercase convention applied to the smallest chrome, giving the system a single typographic discipline from 11px to 92px.

**Key Characteristics:**
- Two-canvas inversion: near-black #02070d (dark hero / performance sections) and pure white (model-range gallery) alternate as hard structural cuts, not gradients.
- Amber gold `{colors.primary}` (#ffc845) at 12 total occurrences, all as perimeter accents (underlines, dividers, badge borders) — never as a CTA fill.
- Everett-Light at 64-92px / weight 300 / -1.92 to -3.68px tracking — the tightest display tracking in the automotive directory; the compressed setting at 92px is the brand's single strongest typographic statement.
- Uppercase typography at every scale from 11px to 92px — the discipline runs from the smallest nav cap to the largest hero headline.
- Sharp 0px rounding universally on structural surfaces — no rounded buttons, no rounded cards, no rounded image frames.
- Deep navy ink (#0c2340) appears at 116 occurrences — likely the section heading and navigation ink on intermediate backgrounds, suggesting a third surface tone between the near-black canvas and pure white.
- 120px vertical padding on major section bands — generous breathing room around each content cluster.

## Colors

### Brand

- **Amber Gold** (`{colors.primary}` — #ffc845): frequency 12. Used as text (4), bg (3), border (5). Wired as --c-accent, --yellow, --warning. The single brand voltage — appears as CTA underlines, section dividers, and model-badge border accents. Never as a button fill.

### Dark Canvas

- **Canvas** (`{colors.canvas}` — #02070d): frequency 8. Used as bg (8). The near-black page floor for dark hero and performance sections. Wired as --c-bg, --c-bg-surface. Not pure black — a very deep blue-black with OKLCH lightness ~0.12.
- **Canvas Surface** (`{colors.canvas-surface}` — #0d0d0d): frequency 1. Used as bg (1). A slightly lighter near-black wired as --c-ui-100 — used for overlaid UI panels on the dark sections.
- **Canvas Navy** (`{colors.canvas-navy}` — #0c2340): frequency 116. Used as text (58), border (58). A deep navy tone with OKLCH hue ~255 — appears extensively as ink on intermediate sections and as border color on structural elements. Not a surface color but a text-and-border tone between the near-black canvas and the white section.

### Light Canvas

- **Canvas Light** (`{colors.canvas-light}` — #ffffff): frequency as bg/text: dominant in the model-range section. The pure-white surface for the daylight gallery sections.

### Text

- **Ink** (`{colors.ink}` — #ffffff): frequency 360. Used as text (174), bg (10), border (173), gradient (3). The dominant white — carries all typography on the dark canvas sections. Wired as --light, --white, --c-white.
- **Ink Dark** (`{colors.ink-dark}` — #212529): frequency 346. Used as text (173), border (173). The near-black ink for the light-canvas sections — Bootstrap's gray-900, running all body copy and structural borders on the white ground.
- **Ink Black** (`{colors.ink-black}` — #000000): frequency 144. Used as text (55), bg (1), border (55), shadow (5), gradient (28). Pure black — the display-headline ink on the white sections and the base color of the page gradient-overlays on photography. Wired as --gradient.

### Hairlines

- **Hairline** (`{colors.hairline}` — #ffffff): a border at low opacity on the dark canvas — card and section separators.
- **Hairline Dark** (`{colors.hairline-dark}` — #212529): structural borders on the light-canvas sections.
- **Hairline Black** (`{colors.hairline-black}` — #000000): the sharpest border tone, used on photography frames and section edges.

### Semantic

- **Gradient Dark** (`{colors.gradient-dark}` — #000000): the gradient-overlay base for photography sections. Wired as --gradient (rgba(0,0,0,0.7) in CSS variable). Used to darken hero photography so white text reads against it.
- **Semantic Success** (`{colors.semantic-success}` — #28a745): declared as --green, --success. Not rendered in the captured marketing surface; part of the Bootstrap-derived semantic palette in the base CSS.
- **Semantic Error** (`{colors.semantic-error}` — #dc3545): declared as --danger, --red. Same as above — semantic state token, not rendered in marketing chrome.
- **Semantic Label** (`{colors.semantic-label}` — #6c757d): declared as --gray, --c-label, --secondary. Not rendered in the captured marketing surface; the Bootstrap gray for secondary UI states.

## Typography

### Font Families

The system runs **Everett** in three optical-weight variants loaded as separate font-face declarations: **Everett-Light** (CSS font-weight 300 or 500 depending on context) for the largest display sizes (60-92px); **Everett** (weight 400 for body, weight 500 for labels) for body copy, section labels, and sub-headings at 11-22px; and **Everett-Medium** (weight 400-500, separate font-face) for the smallest nav and link caps at 11px. The distinction between Everett and Everett-Medium at 11px is subtle but consistent — the Medium cut adds optical density at very small sizes for legibility on the dark canvas. No system stack beyond `sans-serif` is declared beyond the Bootstrap fallback (`-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif`).

### Hierarchy

| Token | Family | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Transform | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `{typography.display-xl}` | Everett-Light | 92px | 300 | 87.4px | -3.68px | uppercase | Full-bleed section headline ("An extraordinary model range") |
| `{typography.display-lg}` | Everett-Light | 64px | 300 | 64px | -1.92px | uppercase | Dark-section h1/h2/h3 hero headline |
| `{typography.display-md}` | Everett-Light | 60px | 500 | 64px | -2px | none | Mixed-case section headline variant |
| `{typography.display-sm}` | Everett-Light | 72px | 500 | 76px | -3px | none | Section headline alternate |
| `{typography.heading-md}` | Everett | 22px | 500 | 30px | 1.45px | uppercase | Sub-section headings, category labels |
| `{typography.body-lg}` | Everett | 20px | 400 | 28px | normal | none | Lead paragraph body copy |
| `{typography.body-md}` | Everett | 14px | 400 | 19.6px | 0.14px | none | Default body copy, card descriptions |
| `{typography.body-sm}` | Everett | 14px | 400 | 24px | -0.4px | capitalize | CTA link labels with capitalized transforms |
| `{typography.label-md}` | Everett | 11px | 500 | 15px | 1px | uppercase | The dominant small-cap label — badge text, section labels, CTA underline text |
| `{typography.label-sm}` | Everett | 11px | 400 | 15.4px | normal | none | Fine-print metadata |
| `{typography.caption}` | Everett | 11px | 500 | 15.4px | 0.75px | uppercase | Model-year caption, spec labels |
| `{typography.nav-link}` | Everett-Medium | 11px | 400 | 15px | 1px | uppercase | Top-nav link labels |

### Principles

The system operates at two extreme ends of the typographic scale — 92px display and 11px labels — with very little in between. The display tier uses the Light weight at extreme sizes with negative tracking (-1.92 to -3.68px), creating a headline that reads tight and cinematic rather than open and editorial. The label tier uses positive tracking (+0.75 to +1px) at uppercase, creating the classic luxury-caps convention of spaced-out small type. The body sizes (14-20px) are neutral — positive tracking at 0.14px, normal weight, no transformation.

### Note on Font Substitutes

Everett is a licensed typeface by Lettermatic. The closest open-source substitute for the Light display tier is **Neue Haas Grotesk Display** at weight 300; for standard weight, **Helvetica Neue** at the same settings is a standard commercial alternative. For the open-source path, **Satoshi** (Fontshare) at weight 300 transfers well at the 60-92px display sizes. The tight negative tracking is the essential property to preserve — any substitute run without the -2 to -3.68px tracking will feel loose by comparison.

## Layout

### Spacing System

- **Base unit:** the dominant module is 16px (9 occurrences) and 8px (8 occurrences), but the section-level padding is 120px — a jump that gives each content band maximum breathing room.
- **Tokens:** `{spacing.xs}` 4px · `{spacing.sm}` 8px · `{spacing.md}` 16px · `{spacing.base}` 24px · `{spacing.lg}` 40px · `{spacing.xl}` 120px · `{spacing.section}` 120px.
- **Section padding:** 120px vertical on major content bands (the value appears 3 times at "120px 0px" and 2 times at "120px" in the extraction). This is the most generous section padding in the automotive directory — Ferrari and Alfa Romeo use approximately 64-80px.
- **CTA padding:** 12×40px on the amber-gold link CTA — generous horizontal padding that gives the underlined link-button the visual mass of a conventional filled CTA.

### Grid & Container

- **Max content width:** approximately 997px on the largest headline (extracted from heroHeading widthPx: 997).
- **Hero sections (dark):** full-bleed photography with gradient overlay, centered headline, centered amber-gold CTA link below.
- **Model-range gallery (white):** multi-column model card grid, one model per column, each with photography + model name + CTA link.
- **Performance section:** full-bleed dark section with headline and body copy alongside a performance-spec readout.
- **The page**: alternates dark → white → dark → white as hard structural cuts with 120px vertical padding on each band.

### Rhythm

The page uses a single rhythm device: hard full-bleed bands with generous vertical padding, alternating between dark and white. There is no constrained-width editorial band in the middle; every section uses the full 1440px viewport. The only non-full-bleed content is the model-card grid in the white section, which constrains model cards to a centered multi-column layout within the full-bleed white canvas.

## Elevation

The system has **no shadow tier** visible in the captured marketing surfaces. The 5 captured shadow occurrences all belong to `{colors.ink-black}` (rgba shadow overlay) on photography — page-level gradient overlays rather than component elevation. Cards, sections, and CTAs use no drop shadow.

- **Flat (no shadow):** all structural surfaces — 100% of components.
- **Photography gradient overlay:** the dark hero sections use a gradient (`rgba(0,0,0,0.7)` — wired as --gradient) over full-bleed photography to ensure white text reads against any car color. Not a UI shadow — a photography treatment.
- **No card elevation:** the model cards in the white section have no border, no shadow, no surface lift — the photography inside each card carries the visual weight; the card boundary is defined only by the spacing grid.

## Shapes

The radius scale is **near-zero** — consistent with the performance-hardware precision that luxury automotive brands reference:

- `{rounded.none}` 0px — the universal component radius. Hero headings, CTA links, model cards, and nav elements all use sharp 0px geometry.
- `{rounded.xs}` 2px — one captured occurrence; a hairline edge-softening on a small badge surface. Functionally invisible at production scales.
- `{rounded.full}` 9999px — circular elements (the audio-play button, icon badges using the 50% border-radius value captured at 6 occurrences). The 66.67px captured value is a specific badge element approximating a pill at a fixed height.

There is no 4px, 8px, or 16px tier. The system is binary: sharp or circular, nothing between. The trident emblem's geometry is pointed and angular — rounded-corner UI surfaces would contradict the badge's visual language.

## Components

**`button-primary`** — The CTA link convention: transparent fill, white text on dark sections, amber-gold `{colors.primary}` underline decoration, `{typography.label-md}` (11px / 500 / uppercase / +1px tracking), 12×40px padding, 0px radius. "Discover more" and "Configure" are the canonical instances. The underline is the brand accent, not the fill.

**`button-secondary`** — Same transparent fill on the light-canvas sections, dark ink text, dark `{colors.hairline-dark}` underline, identical padding. The secondary CTA reads as editorial rather than interactive — a link-style UI convention consistent with the luxury-magazine reference.

**`top-nav`** — Transparent background (overlaid on full-bleed photography in the hero), white text at `{typography.nav-link}` (11px / 400 / uppercase / Everett-Medium), 60px height, 0px 24px padding. Houses the trident wordmark, model names, and the amber-gold "Year of the Trident" campaign badge.

**`nav-link`** — Transparent, white text in `{typography.nav-link}`, 1×6px padding. No hover fill visible in the captured surface — the convention is underline-on-hover consistent with the CTA link treatment.

**`hero-heading`** — The primary white-canvas headline. Black `{colors.ink-black}` text, `{typography.display-xl}` (92px / Everett-Light / uppercase / -3.68px tracking). Zero padding (the heading spans the content column). This is the loudest typographic moment in the system.

**`hero-heading-dark`** — The dark-section counterpart. White `{colors.ink}` text, `{typography.display-lg}` (64px / Everett-Light / uppercase / -1.92px tracking). Full-bleed over photography gradient.

**`section-label`** — Amber-gold `{colors.primary}` text at `{typography.label-md}` (11px / 500 / uppercase / +1px tracking). Used as the section category label above each headline — "Maserati GranCabrio," "Mcpura Cielo," "From Modena to You." The gold color signals brand-level labeling, not navigation.

**`model-card`** — White `{colors.canvas-light}` surface, black `{colors.ink-dark}` text, `{typography.body-md}`, 0px radius, 16px top/bottom padding. The model-range gallery card — holds a full-bleed model photograph above the fold and a model name + CTA link below. No border, no shadow — the card boundary is implicit from the grid gap.

**`body-paragraph`** — Transparent, white `{colors.ink}` text on dark sections, `{typography.body-md}` (14px / 400 / 0.14px tracking). The primary body copy style for the dark performance sections.

**`body-paragraph-light`** — Transparent, dark `{colors.ink-dark}` text on the white-canvas sections, same `{typography.body-md}`. The light-canvas body copy variant.

**`dark-section`** — Near-black `{colors.canvas}` fill, 120×24px padding, carrying full-bleed photography + gradient overlay + centered headline + CTA link. The structural dark band.

**`light-section`** — Pure white `{colors.canvas-light}` fill, 120×24px padding, carrying the model-range gallery headlines and card grid. The structural light band.

## Do's and Don'ts

**Do** treat the amber gold `{colors.primary}` as a material-craft signal, not a CTA fill. Every amber-gold occurrence on the page is a perimeter accent — an underline, a divider, a border highlight. Filling a button with it would reduce the trident's gold to a generic interface color, the same category error as filling a Ferrari button with Rosso Corsa.

**Do** apply the -3.68px tracking to Everett-Light only at 92px and above. At smaller display sizes (60-72px), pull back to -2 to -3px tracking. The extreme negative tracking at 92px works because the glyph spacing at that scale can absorb the compression; at 40px the same tracking value would make headlines illegible.

**Do** use the two-canvas inversion as the primary structural device: dark sections for performance and technology content, white sections for model-range and product-catalog content. The alternation creates the cinematic rhythm — interrupting it with a third surface color (gray, cream) would dilute the visual statement.

**Do** use uppercase transformation at every typographic tier. The system runs uppercase from 11px nav caps to 92px display headlines. A mixed-case label at 11px would import a different typographic register (editorial, tech-startup) into a system where the caps are a brand constant.

**Don't** introduce rounded corners at any radius between 0px and fully circular. The system is binary: 0px for structural surfaces, full circle for icon elements. A 4px or 8px rounded button would look borrowed from a different brand entirely — the sharp 0px geometry is the physical-world reference to machined aluminum and the trident badge's hard edges.

**Don't** use `{colors.canvas-navy}` (#0c2340) as a surface fill. Despite its 116-occurrence frequency (second only to white and near-black), it appears only as text and border color — a deep navy ink for intermediate content over lighter photography bands, not a background fill. Using it as a card fill would create a third canvas color that breaks the two-canvas inversion.

**Don't** set body copy in `{colors.ink}` (white) on the `{colors.canvas-light}` (white) sections. The two-canvas system is strict: white ink belongs on near-black surfaces and dark ink belongs on white surfaces. Mixing them (white text on white canvas) is a non-issue in practice but worth stating because the `{colors.ink}` token is the highest-frequency color in the system and would be the natural default import.

**Don't** substitute a conventional pill CTA for the amber-gold underline CTA. The link-style CTA (`transparent fill + {colors.primary} underline`) is the brand's interaction convention at 40px+ horizontal padding. Replacing it with a `background-color: {colors.primary}; border-radius: 9999px` pill would invert the brand signal from craft-restraint to conventional-SaaS.

## Known Gaps

- **Primary button capture:** the extractor returned `null` for the primaryButton component — no standard HTML button element matching the heuristic was detected on the captured surface. The amber-gold CTA is rendered as an anchor link (`<a>`) rather than a `<button>`, which the extractor does not capture as a primary-button component.
- **Hover and focus states:** no hover states are captured. The amber-gold underline likely intensifies or expands on hover; the link-style CTAs probably show an amber-gold fill or border on focus. Not documented here.
- **Navigation expanded state:** the top-nav mobile hamburger and the mega-menu dropdowns (model-selector panels) are not captured in the extracted marketing surface.
- **Dark mode / light mode:** the page's own two-canvas system is its version of dark/light alternation, but a user-level OS dark-mode preference is not addressed by the captured token set.
- **Configurator surface:** the "Configure" CTA on model cards leads to the Maserati configurator product (`configurator.maserati.com`), which carries its own token system — color pickers, trim selectors, 3D viewer — not captured here.
- **Motion and scroll transitions:** the page uses parallax scroll effects on photography sections and entrance animations on section headlines. Easing curves and timing are not captured.
- **Sub-brand and regional variation:** the extraction URL resolved to `/global/en`. Regional market sub-sites (IT, US, CN) may carry different campaign imagery and model availability that affect which components appear above the fold.
