A pure Maserati runner that shares a multitude of features with the production model. Brand new front grille, representing the face of the Maserati, with a MC-specific front splitter and custom headlight trim.

The front spoiler, side skirts and grooves in the reprofiled front bumper are combined to maximize thrust at high speeds and cool the brakes. The side skirts are integrated with vents to direct the flow of air under the car body, thus increasing stability. Central positioning of the dual exhaust pipes helps to optimize airflow, minimize turbulence and improve thrust and stability. GranTurismo MC is offered with new three-layer exterior colors, including Blue Assoluto, Blue Inchiostro, Rosso Italiano and Rosso Magma.

The interior of the GranTurisma MC is a combination of stripped down innovations in motorsport, soothing comfort and progressive technology. The front sports seats have optional carbon fiber backrests. At the same time, they have the luxurious contrast of the optional Poltron Frau ™ and Alcantara leather. The standard linings are in a seductive, delicate black color. GranTurismo MC is offered with three choices of steering wheels. They can be clad in full leather, a combination of leather and Alcantara or a combination of leather and carbon fiber.

It develops 460 hp, 520 Nm of torque and revs up to an impressive 7,500 rpm. The engine can run the GranTurismo Sport and MC from zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds and 4.7 seconds at a top speed of 186 mph and 187 mph. The GranCabrio Sport and GranCabrio MC reach 62 mph from standstill in 5.0 and 4.9 seconds, respectively. Top speeds are 179 mph and 181 mph.

Maserati Levante V8

It started in 1963 with the legendary Mistral. Then came the Ghibli, the Bora and the Khamsin. In 2016 the Maserati Levante joined the illustrious family. The wind that bears its name blows across the Mediterranean and can change from benign calm to gale force in an instant. The Maserati Levante has a similar nature, although its powerful forces always remain under perfect control.

The Levante is pure Maserati, both in terms of its style and purity of dynamic purpose. The interior of the Levante exudes authentic Maserati character.Interior highlights include Pieno Fiore natural leather on the seats, standard on Levante Trofeo, hand-stitched leather on the dashboard side panels and other surfaces either in genuine wood or the new Matt Carbon Fibre Weave. There is an abundance of clever storage, plus the flexibility of 60/40-folding rear seats and a 580-litre luggage compartment.

The advanced active air suspension raises or lowers the vehicle according to need or preference. With six settings to choose from, the driver can select whatever height is appropriate for the road or terrain, from a high clearance for off-roading to a low setting for fast, efficient and smooth motorway driving.

At the front, the eye is drawn to the purposeful V8-specific front grille with a chromed frame. Below is a lower grille with Black Piano blades, a honeycomb-shaped lower grille and a sports bumper, while the door handles are painted in body color. Seen from the rear, this stylish SUV is every bit as captivating with its Sport bumper, a Matt Black insert, the body colour extractor and V8-specific exhaust pipes.

Nothing can match the distinctive Maserati engine note. In the Levante, a lightweight exhaust system with bypass valves ensures that it’s delivered to maximum effect. When Sport mode is active the valves open, providing the shortest, highest-energy route for the exhaust gases.
