MASERATI IN THE NEWS

Spy Shots: Road-Going Maserati GranTurismo MC Corse In The Works?

By Nelson Ireson, Editor / www.motorauthority.com / June 24, 2010

Maserati's GranTurismo coupe and convertible are, without doubt, some of the best-looking GT cars on the road. This new car, looking to the casual observer just like the tin-top GranTurismo, is, too. But look a little closer and you'll start wonder exactly what this car really is.

The Motor Authority spy photographers aren't sure what the car is, though judging by the large rear spoiler and more centrally-mounted twin exhaust pipes, this could be a mule for a more high-performance version of the GranTurismo. The standard car features quad exhaust pipes mounted more toward the corners of the rear facade, and a slightly different rear under-bumper diffuser as well.

An even higher-performance version of the GranTurismo doesn't seem quite right, at first, as the GranTurismo S already fills that role. The GranTurismo S MC Sport Line limited-edition car for the Middle East did up the ante a bit, however. But the real tell-tale signs come from the GranTurismo MC Corse GT4 race car, which features the same exhaust configuration and spoiler arrangement as the spied car, though the road-going version here doesn't have the extreme front and rear splitter/diffuser combo found on the race car. This could hint at a street-legal version of the racer, not unlike BMW's M3 GTS. We're not sure how that would sit with the honchos at fellow Fiat franchise Ferrari, but it's certainly a welcome idea.

The raised decklid spoiler of the spied model is uncharacteristically subtle for a race car, however, so we may simply be seeing an undisguised facelift of the car. First unveiled in 2007, the GranTurismo is due for a mild facelift, though we'd expect these minor exterior changes to be all that's coming--mechanically, the car should remain the same with the current 450-horsepower, 4.7-liter V-8 continuing to power the car's rear wheels via an automatic transmission.

We'll have to wait and see what Maserati is brewing, but whatever it is, we'll keep you posted.
