Maserati MC Sport Line & Carbon Fiber Accessories

May 12, 2012

Maserati owners can now take advantage of exclusive individual upgrades from the MC Sport Line accessories available at Authorized Maserati Dealers such as Maserati Beverly Hills. Developed by designers at the Maserati Styling Center in Modena in collaboration with engineers from the Maserati Corse Racing Team thanks to their expertise with the carbon fiber components, the “MC Sport Line” is ideal for customers who desire advanced technical solutions to enhance their driving experience and vehicle dynamic look. The Maserati GranTurismo, for example, can be boosted with the addition of two front deflectors and rear spoiler, both in carbon fiber and both developed from the experience derived at particular race track testing sessions. These additions allow Maserati owners to increase their vehicles’ down-force, stability and let them slicing through corners faster. Available carbon fiber side skirts secure instead a more dynamic side profile and, for a sportier look, can be combined with side mirror housings and door handles also in carbon fiber. The gloss black painted 20” wheels surface further enhance the race-inspired transformation and perfectly complement the dark shade of the carbon fiber.

The interior of the Maserati GranTurismo and Quattroporte can also be customized with the MC Sport Line Accessories. Rear side and door panels, dashboard and instrument panel can be personalized with crafted carbon fiber but, for the ultimate racing style, the carbon shift paddles and black leather steering wheel clad in carbon and machined aluminum pedals with the red MC are a must. Door kick plates in carbon finer with the “MC Sport Line” logo also convey an extremely sporty character to your GranTurismo or Quattroporte.

Whether you are choosing your first Maserati or want to convey a newer and sportier look to the one you currently own, the Maserati MC Sport Line features carbon fiber crafted pieces from racing inspired materials which emphasize Maserati exciting racing heritage and passion. MC Sport Line Accessories are available as optional equipment or as individual components to be retrofitted, in any cases allowing clients to express their own genuine passion for the Trident brand.

Maserati owners can take advantage of specific MC Sport Line packages: GranTurismo Aerodynamic Package I, GranTurismo Wheels Package, GranTurismo Carbon Fiber Interior Evolution I, GranTurismo S Handling Package (CambioCorsa), Quattroporte Interior Package I and Quattroporte Interior Package II.

Maserati GranTurismo Sport: Engine, Technology and safety

May 10, 2012

Maserati has recently launched the GranTurismo Sport, its new two door coupe with increased performance and elegant sporty restyling. The new Maserati GranTurismo Sport’s engine is sporty and responds immediately when pushing the accelerator pedal. The engine is in fact flexible enough to modify its responses based on current conditions: well-behaved in urban settings to dynamic and powerful on the open road. If the driver selects the ‘Sport’ button, then the exhaust valves open up, the gear changes and suspensions are calibrated for maximum performance and the engine takes on an aggressive, deep and exciting tone symbolizing Maserati’s competitive heritage and nature.
Driving a Maserati GranTurismo Sport brings you to a whole and different experience. The new Maserati is the result of Maserati engineers tweaking the engine to produce a GranTurismo with an overall balance and driving experience as close to perfection as possible.

The GranTurismo Sport features a six-speed automatic ZF transmission equipped with MC Auto Shift Software. The ZF transmission provides a smoother gear changes without compromising performance and grants an ideal weight distribution of 49% in the front axle and 51% in the rear. The double wishbone suspension on the GranTurismo Sport is controlled by the Sport Skyhook System of the new variable dampers that are constantly adjusting the damping by a new set up. The driving experience becomes even more enjoyable and reactive while improving the comfort levels of all four occupants. The Maserati Stability program (MSP) is alerted when the driver presses the “Sport” button, allowing the Maserati GranTurismo Sport to become more precise and reactive but continuing to absorb bumps in the roads and adapt to any surface conditions.

The new Maserati GranTurismo Sport is equipped with Brembo dual-cast technology brakes teamed with six-piston mono-block calipers in the front and four-piston unit in the rear. The drilled and slotted discs are crafted from cast iron and aluminum allowing to decrease the weight by 20%, to provide a more comfortable ride and to reduce overall wear and corrosion. The BluOpaco caliper palette is a new tint for both, Brembo and Maserati.

In developing the GranTurismo Sport, active and passive safety was at the forefront of Maserati engineers, resulting in a vehicle employing the very latest safety technology available in the motoring field. The Maserati Stability Program (MSP) gives the car a complete stability: the system works with the ASR traction control and ABS to stop the wheels locking under braking together with the hydraulic braking assistance (HBA).
