September 21, 2011
Maserati has an established tradition in designing and building Italian fine cars, which is a synonymous of striving for perfection in every detail, enabling drivers to experience the thrill of powerful engines and ensuring passengers with comfort and pleasure. Every new Maserati testifies the marque’s rich history and carries unrivalled racing pedigree, luxurious comfort, extraordinary performance and unmistakable style.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC is a road car with authentic racing genes: it carries the unique style, performance, comfort and design of the GranTurismo together with the pure adrenaline of the Maserati Corse sporting heritage. The GranTurismo MC is the most powerful and fastest Maserati production car: it is in fact the first road car in the Maserati range to break the 186 mph barrier.  To automotive enthusiasts worldwide, Maserati Corse is also a synonymous with competition, constant development and lasting victory.  It is once again the heritage of Italian craftsmanship and attention to details as well as technology tested on the track for exceptional, accessible performance.

The unique features of Maserati’s newest car are inherited from the GranTurismo range, where luxury and sports are combined to provide unparalleled elegance and performance. The GranTurismo MC takes the GranTurismo S to the next level symbolizing the epitome of the modern grand tourer. The GranTurismo MC is the perfect solution to the combined demands of aerodynamics and performance while its interior perfectly weds the ultimate aesthetics of luxury and style.

New Bodywork Styling.
The streamlined styling of the Maserati GranTurismo MC express craftsmanship and high performance and it is directly inspired by the Maserati Racing Department. Maserati racing experiences contributein fact to develop an aerodynamic body with 25% more front down force and 50% more in the rear than the GranTurismo S at 124 mph. In particular, the front spoiler, skirts and slots in the front fenders push the front of the car down at higher speeds, to cool the brakes as well as deliver down force over the entire car. The GranTurismo MC’s highly sophisticated aerodynamic includes two slots on the hood to cool the engine compartment. The rear bumper has been redesigned to feature centrally located exhausts and it is combined with the diffuser profile to more efficiently promote air flow under the body. These apertures further stabilize the air flow behind the car to improve aerodynamic efficiency, while the rear spoiler produces additional down force at higher speeds. The GranTurismo MC’s 20” flow-formed rims are lighter and bear the renowned Trident symbol on the double spokes.
