The 2011 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale is the road-ready
production version of the GranTurismo
MC Corse concept - a car which was unveiled at the Paris
Motor Show in 2008. The GranTurismo MC Stradale was also inspired
by the Trofeo GranTurismo MC and the race-winning GT4 motorsport
models.
The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale is the lightest and most
powerful car in Maserati's lineup thanks to its 450 horsepower
4.7 litre V8 engine. It has a top speed in excess of 300km/h
(186 mph), yet at the same time it uses no more fuel than the
GranTurismo S model.
The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale uses advanced electronics
to cut gear-shift times from the upgraded MC Race Shift electro-actuated
transaxle gearbox to just 60 milliseconds. This all helps to
slash the 0-62 mph (100km/h) sprint time, which the Maserati
GranTurismo MC Stradale covers in just 4.6 seconds.
The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale is also the first Maserati
in history to have a dedicated Race mode alongside the upgraded
Auto and Sport modes in its simplified dashboard layout.
With the removal of the rear seats, the Maserati GranTurismo
MC Stradale becomes the first two-seat Maserati since the MC12.
The GranTurismo MC Stradale has also benefited from new Brembo
carbon-ceramic brakes, custom-developed Pirelli tyres, a unique
suspension layout and rigid, light-weight, carbon-fibre race
seats. The car's race-bred heritage is underscored by a 110kg
weight reduction from the GranTurismo S, down to 1770kg. It
mirrors Maserati's racing advantages by retaining an optimal
48:52 weight distribution, ensuring balanced handling and even
tire wear.
