Maserati has turned its powerful and beautiful GranTurismo MC Stradale in to a device which is equally as quick but much more practical, technically complex and much more beautiful.

First started in 2010, the 2-seat GranTurismo MC Stradale took improvement suggestions from its Trofeo racing vehicles seamlessly blending them into its GranTurismo coupe. Maserati took these thoughts and advanced its lightweight twoseat super coupe to the fourseat 2014 GranTurismo MC Stradale.

Its allnew carbonfibre bonnet not only produces highspeed downforce and increases cooling, but does mean the fourseat GranTurismo MC Stradale keeps nearly equal dry weight while the discontinued twoseat model (1700 kg.). This means it remains the fastest and lightest vehicle in the Maserati GranTurismo variety, although it now offers relaxation to four adults rather than 2.

The continuing evolution of the GranTurismo MC Stradale also demonstrates that Maserati hasn't ignored the relevance of its own twodoor coupe range despite the world's focus on its allnew Quattroporte design.

Driven by the most effective variant of Maserati's 4.7litre V8 engine, the GranTurismo MC Stradale reaches 100km/h in merely 4.5 seconds on its way to a top rate of 303 km/h.

GranTurismo MC Stradale uses the strongest 460CV (338kW) variant of the 4.7litre V8 and partners this for the lightningfast gear shifts from its sixspeed electro-actuated "MC Race Change" transaxle gearbox.

Drawn from the GranTurismo Sport, this variant of the traditional 4.7litre V8 benefits from diamondlike coating of its tappets and camshaft lobes within Maserati's Low-friction Plan to be both strong and fuel-efficient.

The layout ensures that it sits in exactly the casing as the asymmetrical limited-slip differential.

The powertrain package also provides its motorists the pick of Race, Sport and Automatic modes, with every degree delivering added benefits within the exhaust note, the throttle response as well as the systems.

In a different lesson drawn from its racing experiences, the gearbox offers Sequential Downshifting, enable the vehicle to shift before the paddle is released to sequentially lower gears and where the driver can just maintain the down-shift paddle in while braking.

All the dynamic functionality the GranTurismo MC Stradale creates is supported by a number of the very powerful brakes in creation, with tremendous carbonceramic brake discs at all corners.

without losing some of its own capabilities as a day - to - day auto.

Its chassis poise was created to be simple to push and as comfortable as possible to keep all the built-in management, ride and stability advantages of the GranTurismo's long-wheelbase.

It got the pace to be a roadlegal racing-car, with its ride height lowered by 10-mm at the front and 12mm at the back compared to the conventional GranTurismo Sport, however it has got the managing to be considered an exceptionally useable supersports car.

While its Race mode is intended to deliver quick lap times in entire protection, the automobile has been invented especially to get progressive, comfortable, well-balanced and entertaining for most drivers.

The bonnet includes an air inlet port and two hot air extraction ports and produces the advantages of reducing weight and adding quarter more frontal downforce at 140 km / h, with lessons consider straight in the Trofeo and GT4 racing applications.

Created from both course feedback and sophisticated computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) study, the fresh bonnet provides highspeed stability without increasing drag, mainly by alleviating underbonnet pressure.

The new carbonfibre engine cover joins a plethora of other Trofeo-derived aerodynamic upgrades that include highspeed stability and efficacy through the atmosphere. These contain a deep front splitter incorporated into the front bumper, a reprofiled rear bumper, deep practical side-skirts plus a distinct rear lip spoiler to the trunk.

All of the units join as one incorporated aerodynamic device to utilize the whole span of the automobile to create downforce and also to refocus the atmosphere in the brake and motor cooling systems into regions of minimal turbulence and maximum downforce.

Its black grille as well as the red accents to the Trident mark it as one-of Maserati's MC array to even casual observers, but a number of the largest developments are inside the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, where four light-weight seats change both seats in the discontinued 2010 twoseat model.

Front seats use carbon-fibre back to reach their low weight as well as cater for Maserati's conventional luxury using a blend of leather and Alcantara trims. All seats also provide incorporated head restraints for support and security.

The conventional trims are delicate black.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale has three controls options, which have multifunction buttons plus a section around the circumference.

They may be shipped in full leather, a mix of leather and Alcantara or perhaps a mix of leather and carbonfibre.
