Having been developed from a race car, the Maserati GranTurismo MC is unusually exciting and responsive thanks to its engine, which is more powerful than the one featured in the GranTurismo S, its improved suspension and aerodynamics which make the GranTurismo MC feel more agile than ever.
The GranTurismo MC heart is its 4.7 L V8 engine featuring 444 hp at 7,000 rpm. Power, flexibility and instant response at cornering are secured by the car's 376 lb-ft torque at 4,750 rpm with a steeper curve at low revs. A reduced friction is guaranteed by the redesigned oil sump fluid dynamics and DLC coating ( Diamond- like Coating) on the tappets and camshaft lobes. The result is a smoother and more powerful engine with reduced consumption and, consequently, lower emissions.
Just like the GranTurismo S, the alloy engine with steel cylinder liners is exceptionally light and compact especially along the car's longitudinal axis. Optimized dynamics are provided thanks also to the single timing system which gives a lighter response, improved reliability and reduced consumption. In line with Maserati's most recent philosophy, the engine features a wet sump lubrication system, which allow to reduce the number of oil recovery pumps and extraneous noise: all with the goal of reaching an ideal combination between comfort and sporting performance.
The Maserati GranTurismo MC cabin features details to create a special environment of comfort, style and excitement, such as the seats clad in fine Italian Poltrona Frau leather, the combination of leather and Alcantara速 interior trim, a redesigned instrument panel and a new dashboard layout. The front seats have the Maserati Trident embroidered on the headrests and offer excellent support under all driving conditions. The overall dashboard styling is very different from the one of the GranTurismo S: in line with the MC more sporting concept, the luxury oriented chrome detailing has been replaced with a more racing aesthetic in black. Alcantara速 covers the central console, the central armrest, the door panel armrests, handles and the dashboard binnacle hood.
The evolution of the GranTurismo MC interior has also transformed the instrument panel, where the Maserati's traditional blue background has been replaced by purposeful black with completely new white graphics.
In the Maserati GranTurismo MC both the driver and the passenger are able to enjoy the car's exceptional comfort and attention to details. The front seats are designed to provide outstanding comfort and good lateral support at high speed cornering. They also ensure an ergonomic seating posture which prevent fatigue even during long drives.
