Maserati’s new MC Sport Line

December 8, 2010

The extensive list of Maserati personalization options available throughout the entire Maserati range is now enriched with the new “MC Sport Line”. The “MC Sport Line” has been created to emphasize the sporting DNA of Maserati and it is for customers who wish to express their passion for sports cars with a dynamic look as well as advanced technical solutions to enhance their driving experience. The world of racing inspired the designers of the Maserati Style Center in this project: all the MC Sport Line components are made of carbon fiber, which is the material that has long been the choice in professional racing teams. Customers can select options to personalize both the exteriors and the interiors of the Maserati GranTurismo, whether GranTurismo S Automatic owners have also the possibility of enhancing the handling of their car using a special suspension setup.

The aerodynamic look and performance of the GranTurismo can be enhanced with the addition of two front deflectors and a rear spoiler in carbon fiber. The new aerodynamic parts increase the down-force, allowing the car to slice accurately through corners even faster. An even sportier exterior can be achieved by combining the carbon fiber aerodynamic additions with door handles and side mirror housings in the same material. Aggressive Neptune design 20” wheels can complete the GranTurismo race-inspired look. Their gloss black surfaces are a perfect complement of the carbon fiber’s dark hue.

Carbon fiber sets the style in the “MC Sport Line” inspired interiors: dashboard, door panels and rear side panels have all carbon fiber moldings, while other interior details can be finished in gloss black. The carbon fiber door sill with the script “MC Sport Line” and it dominates the central tunnel. For those in search of the ultimate in racing style, a black leather steering wheel with carbon fiber rim and machined aluminum pedals with “MC” logo in red are also available.

The “MC Sport Line” also provides the option of a race-bred suspension and upgraded disc brakes on GranTurismo S Automatic.

A more immediate braking action during sustained spirited driving is guaranteed by a “MC Sport Line” suspension combined with perforated and slotted front and rear disc brakes. Blind holes have been added to the braking surface for more uniform wear of the brake pad and disc surfaces, allowing keeping braking efficiency constant over time. The electronically controlled dampers installed on the Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic can be replaced with a fixed-setting type combined with a larger-diameter roll bar for the rear. The Factory suggestion is combining the aerodynamic package with the sport suspension set-up as this combination allows both the wings and the suspensions to work more effectively to achieve the best performance in handling.

The MC Sport Line features beautifully crafted pieces created from race-inspired materials, it emphasizes Maserati’s proud competition heritage and allows you  to express your own passion for the Trident brand, whether you’re choosing your first Maserati or want to add a new sportier look to your current GranTurismo. MC Sport Line accessories are available either as optional equipment or as individual components that can be retrofitted to any GranTurismo.

Maserati GranTurismo Convertible: drop the top – top the rest

December 3, 2010

The GranTurismo Convertible is the latest Maserati model launched in 2010. The new Convertible redefines the market for open-top high end sports cars, offering both superior performance and four full-size seats.

Maserati has become well-known for elegance, outstanding quality and higher performance thanks to a continuous search for perfection in every detail, resulting in a unique Maserati experience for owners. This is the tradition that Maserati celebrates in launching the first four seat open-top car to emerge from the Viale Ciro Menotti complex in Modena, the first car with four comfortable seats and without compromising the unique, exciting handling of all Maserati cars.

The retractable multilayer soft top permits a huge range of color combinations while optimizing functionality, space and weight requirements. The soft top is available in six standard exterior colors (black, blue, burgundy, chocolate, titanium grey and java), complemented headliners available in black, beige and beluga grey. The durability of the soft top system has been demonstrated by several severe tests that exposed the roof to the most challenging weather conditions.

In designing the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible particular attention was paid to the rear passengers, who will enjoy uncompromised comfort not typically found in open-top cars. The rear seats are enhanced by a relaxed, 22 degree seatback angle that gives occupants an outstanding seating position unlike other convertibles. The GranTurismo Convertible’s rear passenger seats are designed to ideally transporting two adults in ideal comfort.

Aerodynamic efficiency has been achieved thanks to the underbody components’ & body special designs that have been specified to maximize down-force while minimizing drag.

Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is so exhilarating to drive, immediately and predictably responsive to every driver input and eminently enjoyable also thanks to its balanced weight distribution. With the top up, 49% of the car’s weight is carried by the front wheels and 51% by the rear wheels (48% / 52% with the top down).

The most powerful of Maserati’s V8 engine is the heart of the GranTurismo Convertible. The engine features a 4.7 liters displacement and power delivery of 433 bhp at 7,000 rpm. The torque is reasonably flat and offers a maximum of 361 ft-lb at only 4,750 rpm. The engine cylinder banks are set at a 90° angle with four valves per cylinder.

The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible provides aural thrills thanks to its clever multi-setting exhaust system. The exhaust valve bypass is controlled in order to open only at over 3,000 rpm. This mechanism gives the car two distinct driving personalities: discreet and comfortable at low speeds, responsive and powerful at high revs with a remarkably enjoyable sound.

The performance-enhancing Limited Slip Differential is a standard feature common to all Maserati models. The mechanical system works in harmony with the Maserati Stability Program by providing torque to both rear wheels and, at the same time, allow maximizing the traction during acceleration and cornering. The limited-slip differential is developed and utilized mainly in motorsport, and it is especially effective in transitional handling situations such as powering out of a corner, where having an optimize traction and torque is a clear advantage.
