MASERATI: RACING LUXURY FOR FOUR:

THE FOUR SEAT GRANTURISMO MC STRADALE MAKES ITS DEBUT IN GENEVA

The MC Stradale will be the star on the Maserati stand, alongside the new Quattroporte versions as they make their European debut

The 2013 Geneva International Motor Show (7 March 2013) will see the all-new Maserati Quattroporte make its European public debut and the unveiling of the latest version of Maserati GranTurismo that combines a new level of performance and luxury, a combination that epitomizes Maserati style, performance, luxury and exclusivity.

In line with this philosophy, Geneva will see the world debut of the new four seatGranTurismo MC Stradale, the optimum expression of sportiness combined with the luxury of the coupé made in Italy’s supercar central, the city of Modena. Although the new Quattroporte is the first Maserati to be built at the new Giovanni Agnelli plant in Turin, the GranTurismo MC Stradale will be built at the historic Maserati factory in Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena.

Just like the previous two seater version, the new four seater GranTurismo MC Stradale takes its inspiration from the racing GranTurismo which competes in the Maserati Trofeo Championship, offering the perfect combination of sportiness, luxury and elegance, comfort and style, functionality and dynamism that can now be enjoyed by four people. The new aesthetic exterior features, with their clear racing edge, are highlighted by the new carbon fibre bonnet which frames an important central air intake and two rear extractors and the new forged 20" alloy rims. The new GranTurismo MC Stradale boasts a cabin that has four comfortable seats and an interior design featuring new materials and style.

Also confirmed, the 4.7 litre, 460 HP aspirated V8 engine which made its debut in the GranTurismo Sport and which is now, with its installation on the new GranTurismo MC Stradale, present throughout the entire 4.7 litre GranTurismo range. Combined with an MC Race Shift 6-speed electro actuated gearbox, this engine ensures outstanding performance - with a top speed of 303 kmh - which can be enjoyed in this new four passenger configuration. Powerful stopping performance is guaranteed by the Brembo carbon ceramic brake disks. In keeping with Maserati's principles, the new GranTurismo MC Stradale makes the most of the work invested in the previous model in terms of reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
