Maserati Granturismo MC Corse

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 liter V8 engine found in the GranTurismo S up by 10 horses to 450 horsepower.

    Maserati design lately is very good and I can say much better against Ferrari…

    and becoming trendsetter also, the quattroporte set the trend of 4 seater super car, follow panamera and to be unveiled lambo
