Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale looks to have sheer performance in a hot package all wrapped up as it prepares for its 2010 Paris show debut. The MC Stradale is a road-going GranTurismo with the track pedigree of the MC Trofeo and the GT4. That track-road mix should make it an exciting prospect for Maserati fans (or at least those who can afford one), and the 4.7-litre V8 engine produces 450 hp and a top speed of 300 km/hr.

Details are still scarse but the GranTurismo MC Stradale should be lighter than the standard Granturismo model, with improvements to the chassis and maybe even some carbon fibre (that’s purely speculative though). If the MC Stradale proves as good as we hope it’s going to be, it will be the arrival of a model that was missing from the Maserati line-up and should go some way to making sure that Maserati can still make performance-oriented vehicles and not just poor, luxury versions that are a shadow of what Ferrari gets to make.
