Remember that Maserati GranTurismo MC Corse Concept that we saw in Paris? The car was produced by Maserati Style Center as a racing version of the 440-hp GranTurismo S made for the track. The GranTurismo has been with Maserati for almost a year and half now with hotter ‘S’ version being the range-topper. Well, if the S isn’t hardcore enough for you, you’ll be happy to learn that Maserati is considering a road-going version of the MC Corse Concept.

The GranTurismo MC Corse Concept is powered by the same 4.7L V8 from the GranTurismo S but makes an additional 10 horses for a total of 450-hp and a peak torque of 376 lb-ft. It also gets upgraded brakes, improved aerodynamics, a lighter and more stiff chassis and an upgraded suspension. Maserati Style Center topped it off with 18-inch allow wheels and an FIA-approved roll cage.

According to EVO, if the sales of the GranTurismo and GranTurismo S stay strong Maserati will build a road-going ‘halo’ model based on the GranTurismo MC Corse to compete with the likes of Porsche’s GT3 RS.

Of course, before that takes place, we’ll see a drop-top GranTurismo.

Sounds good to me! The car looks great, and I'm sure it'll be a terrific driver as well!

 

With the Pinninfarina style and handling I think the car will sell well and I would look forward to a MC

 

I like it.

 

They should totally do it!

 

wah, that car is sick....

 

nice, so whats involved with modd'n a Maserati : ?

 

They need to learn from Nissan GTR on how to make a fat car go fast, much much stiffer suspension, better steering, much better brakes, and lastly they need to loose 250 kg, would make a good car.

 

I agree, in order for a car to perform well enough on track, the car should be light, with great response suspension and well perform brakes to keep up the decreasing speed. If a car is too heavy with bad suspension response, it will just toss around like a pinball.

How much of a weight difference between Maserati and GTR r35?
