Maserati granturismo/Maserati mc corse granturismo modern car which is issued by a Maserati with a more luxurious design

Maserati GranTurismo coupe and convertible are undoubtedly some of the most beautiful GT cars on the road. This new car, looking to the casual observer, like the GranTurismo tin top, too. But look a little closer and you’ll start to know exactly what this car really is.
Our spy photographers are not sure what the car is, nor are we – although judging by the large rear spoiler and more centrally mounted dual exhausts, this could be a mule for a high performance version of the GranTurismo more. The standard car has quad exhaust pipes
more fitted to the corners of the rear facade, rear diffuser and a slightly different sub-carts too.
An even more performance GranTurismo does not look very well at first, like the GranTurismo S has already fulfilled that role. The GranTurismo MC S Line Sport car limited edition for the Middle East was the ante a bit, though. But the real tell-tale signs from the GranTurismo MC Corse GT4 race car that has the same configuration and arrangement of exhaust spoiler as the spied car, while the road version here does not have the extreme front and rear splitter / diffuser combination found on the race car. This might suggest a street-legal version of the pilot, not unlike the BMW M3 GTS. We’re not sure how that would sit down with the bosses at Ferrari Fiat franchise partner, but it is certainly a welcome idea for us.

The decklid spoiler raised spied the model is unusually subtle for a race car, however, that we may be seeing just a facelift of the car undisguised. Unveiled in 2007, the GranTurismo is due for a facelift light, but would expect these minor exterior alterations to be all that is coming – mechanics, the car must remain the same with the current 450-hp, 4.7-liter V-8 continues to power of the car rear wheels through an automatic transmission.

Maserati had its flagship GranTurismo S to even higher levels of performance with the creation of the GranTurismo MC Concept.
Designed just like a track day special, it boasts significant changes in style are designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency, without spoiling the elegant lines of the original model.
The Maserati Corse Concept features two large air intakes designed to improve the flow of air from the engine and brakes, combination air input / output integrated into the bonnet and guard pumped to accommodate the biggest clue.
The side profile underwent extensive aerodynamic testing and incorporates new side air vents connected to the side skirts similar to the Nissan GT-R to channel hot air from the engine compartment around the car.
The rear exit dual exhaust has integrated into the rear diffuser and spoiler to a much steeper angle to complement the effects of aerodynamic splitter added new front.
Maserati Racing Department engineers almost completely removed all traces of the original interior to save weight and added an FIA approved roll cage, Sparco racing wheel, racing seats and carbon panel and control console.
Corse Concept runs a highly tuned version of the 4.7-liter V8 engine of the GranTurismo S, which now develops 510 Nm and 330.9kW to 4,750 rpm.
This was achieved by installing a high performance system air consumption combined with an exhaust system equipped with a catalytic converter type of race.
The end result is a total weight of less than 1,400 kg and a power to weight ration of less than 4.2 kg / kW.

Geneva Preshow: Maserati's Go-Faster GrandCabrio Sport

Monday, February 21, 2011 0 comments

It's been a year-and-a-half since Maserati lifted the wraps off a drop-top version of its GranTurismo coupe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in late 2009, and now the Italians are getting ready to expand the range of the GranCabrio with the presentation of a sportier variant at the upcoming Geneva Auto Show.

The new GranCabrio Sport follows in the footsteps of its hardtop sibling offering an improved chassis, more horse power and optimized gearshift response. The convertible is motivated by a more potent and fuel-efficient version of the firm's all-alloy 4.7-litre naturally-aspirated V8 churning out 450HP and 510 Nm or 376.2 lb-ft of peak torque, an increase of 10HP and 20Nm respectively over the standard GranCabrio. The top speed of the GranCabrio Sport is 285km/h or 177mph.

The company said the engine benefits from what it describes as "Maserati’s Friction Reduction Program", without providing any specific details, but claims a 6% reduction in fuel consumption.

The V8 is coupled to an upgraded ZF six-speed automatic transmission equipped with the MC Auto Shift software from the Quattroporte Sport GT S, which promises faster shift times. Maserati's engineers also revised the car's Skyhook active-suspension system and added grooved and drilled dual-cast brake discs.

On the outside, the GranCabrio Sport receives some mild tweaks in the form of a black grille, smoked headlamps with white sidemarks, new front corner splitters and redesigned side skirts. There's also a new shade of red called Rosso Trionfale, said to have been inspired by the red Italian national colors used on 1950s racing Maseratis.

Sales of the GranCabrio Sport will start from summer 2011.
