Maserati GranTurismo MC

Maserati will officially unveil its new GranTurismo MC during the FIA GT's "Media Days." Now the car that was merely a concept back in September could be coming to a race track near you.


The GranTurismo MC racer is based on the GranTurismo S road car. Its production stats are similar to the concept shown at the 2008 Paris auto show. It weighs less than 3090 lbs thanks to a fully-stripped interior, Lexan windows, a carbon fiber dashboard, and multiple composite body panels. Maserati didn't specify the horsepower, but if the GranTurismo MC has the same 450-hp engine as the concept, it will boast a racecar-like power-to-weight ratio of 7 lb / hp.

Also, like the concept, the rest of the car is engineered to FIA standards. Thus it is equipped with a data acquisition system, six-point racing harness, and an integral roll cage. It also features more aerodynamic bodywork, extra-firm racing suspension, enlarged brakes all around, and slick racing tires on 18-inch wheels.

A Maserati GranTurismo MC will be entered by a private team to partake in some GT4 European Cup events during the second half of this season.
