Maserati’s GranTurismo MC Corse Concept takes the Maserati GranTurismo S and race-preps it with a new intake system, a competition-spec catalyst, a center exist exhaust, an increased track, new front splitter, rear spoiler and side skirts for better aerodynamic efficiency, 18 inch wheels with racing slick tyres and an upgraded suspension for track usage. The intake, cat and exhaust modifications above bring the 4.7 litre V8 engine found in the GranTurismo S up by 10 horses to 450 horsepower.
