Information Provided by:

RACE INSPIRED LUXURY.

The GranTurismo MC is the ultimate embodiment of Maserati’s knowledge gained over

nearly a century of creating the finest cars for road and track. The GranTurismo MC is

a road car with authentic racing genes. A un ique car with the unmistakable st yle of the

GranTurismo, renowned for its performance, design and comfort, it is also a car with the

sporting heritage of Maserati Corse, a synonym for pure adrenaline, whose name it wears

with pride. To automotive enthusiasts worldwide, Maserati Corse is also synonymous

with competition, continuous development, and lasting victor y. It is at once the heritage

of Italian craftsmanship and attention to detail and technology tried and tested on the

track for exceptional, accessible performance. This is the synergy that has given birth to

Maserati’s most powerful and fastest production car: the GranTurismo MC is the f irst

road car in the Maserati range to brake the 186 mph(300 km/h) barrier.

OUTSTANDING ROAD PERFORMANCE:

THE GRANTURISMO RANGE.

The unique style of Maserati’s newest car is inher ited from the family to

which it belongs: the GranTurismo range, four–seat cars of unparalleled

elegance and performance, the ultimate marriage of luxury and sports.

The GranTurismo MC takes the GranTurismo S to the next level; this

sportier version of the coupe, designed by Pininfarina and powered by a

4.7 L V8 engine, is emblematic of exclusivity and performance, making

excitement part of each for tunate owner’s everyday experience. While

the GranTurismo MC is the very epitome of the moder n grand tourer,

its inspiration owes much more to the track than the road.

Unbeatable performance. Ever more advanced technical solutions to drive reliability and

handling. It’s on the track, on the best race circuits around the world, that Maserati fully

develops the sporting potential of its cars. From the FIA GT1 World Championships, where

both Dr ivers’ and Teams’ titles fell to the might y MC12, to the European series “Trofeo

Maserati GranTurismo MC” for discerning gentleman drivers, every competition in which

Maserati Corse participates is an opportunity to set new standards, and the GranTurismo

MC is the most recent product of this synchronicity between Maserati’s racing activities

and its road cars.

This latest Maserati inherits its purposeful design from its racing sibling, the GranTurismo

MC Trofeo. A car developed in response to the specif ic needs of racing with innovative

solutions tested in the unforgiving environment of the track: nowhere but on the track

can cars be pushed to their true limits. The GranTurismo MC is the reward of the hand-

in-hand development of Maserati’s race and road cars: the symbol of synergy and the

search for excellence.

NEW BODYWORK STYLING.

Directly inspired by our racing department, Maserati Corse, the

streamlined styling of the GranTurismo MC makes a positive statement

expressing craftsmanship and high perfor mance. Our experience of

racing and fluid dynamics have allowed us to create an aerodynamic

body with 25% more downforce at the front and 50 % more at the rear

than the GranTur ismo S at 124 mph (200 km/h). In particular, the

front spoiler, skirts and slots in the front fenders combine to press the

front of the car down at high speeds, cool the brakes, extract hot air

from the brakes and deliver downforce over the entire car. The side

skirts have been integrated with the vents to channel airf low beneath

16

the car, creating downforce to improve control at speed. The car’s

highly sophisticated aerodynamics include two slots on the hood to

cool the engine compartment. The rear bumper has been redesigned

for centrally located exhausts and combined with the dif fuser prof ile

to promote more efficient and directed air f low from under the body.

These apertures fur ther stabilize the air f low behind the car to improve

aerodynamic ef ficiency, while the rear spoiler produces additional

downforce at high speeds. The wheels are equally sophisticated: the

20’’ f low-formed r ims of the GranTurismo MC are lighter, to reduce

unsprung weight, and bear the renowned Trident symbol on their

double spokes—another statement of Maserati tradition.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE

Information Provided by:

WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

Having been developed from a race car, the GranTurismo MC is an unusually exciting and

responsive road car. This is due to its engine, more powerful than that of the GranTurismo

S, its improved aerodynamics and suspension, which makes the GranTurismo MC feel

more agile and dynamic than ever.

21

The heart of the GranTurismo MC is its 4.7 L V8 eng ine, which puts out 444 hp (330 kW)

Information Provided by:

at 7,000 rpm. Power, flexibility and instant response when cornering are all heightened

by the torque of 376 lb-ft (510 Nm) at 4,750 rpm, with a steeper curve at lower revs.

Many of the improvements to the V8 eng ine are due to reduced friction, thanks to the

redesigned oil sump f luid dynamics and DLC coating (Diamond-Like Coating) on the

tappets and camshaft lobes. The result is a smoother and more power fu l engine with

reduced consumption and consequently lower emissions, which gives unbeatably f luid

gear changes while responding to the accelerator with an aggressive thrust and roar,

control led by the pneumatic exhaust system valves.

Furthermore, just like on the GranTurismo S, the alloy engine with steel cylinder liners

is exceptionally light and compact, especially along the car’s longitudinal axis. The

optimized dynamics are also due to the single timing chain system which gives a lighter

response, improved reliability and reduced consumption.

Finally, in line with Maserati’s most recent philosophy, the engine features a wet sump

lubrication system, reducing the number of oil recovery pumps and extraneous noise: all

to the advantage of the perfect combination of comfort and sports performance.

TRANSMISSION.

Information Provided by:

All the power that the V8 engine produces is harnessed by the proven

technology of a six-speed automatic transmission, commissioned from

ZF—the company that sets the industry standard. First introduced in

2007, the transmission has proved itself the ideal partner, as adept at

handling power when cruising as it is at reacting instantly when the

pace quickens.

For the GranTurismo MC, the programming of the transmission has

been further enhanced. In Spor t mode the MC Autoshift programming

is activated to execute a perfect blip of the throttle on downshifts, and

to hold each gear at the red line on acceleration until the driver selects

the next one; this eliminates the possibility of an unexpected gear

change when cornering. The acceleration mapping has been improved

for even better throttle response, and a new MC Start Strategy has been

introduced for optimal standing star t acceleration.

OPTIMIZED W EIGHT DISTRI BUTION.

Throughout its long histor y of providing the best automobiles for

competition and daily use, Maserati has paid special attention to

optimizing weight distribution in the quest for ever better hand ling.

Maserati engineers have achieved their objective by selecting all

components with an obsessive attention to detail, including the special

20’’ MC-Desig n al loy rims, designed for an aggressive look and f low-

formed for even lower unsprung weight.

For the highest performing car in the GranTurismo range, a 10 mm lower setup has been

Information Provided by:

developed for optimal handling and driving pleasure. Its standard single-rate dampers are

stiffer, and the GranTur ismo MC includes larger-diameter roll bars which minimize lateral

load shifts (rol l angle: -20%); overall, the car’s rigidity is increased by 16% at the front and

32% at the rear. The new setup is combined with a special MSP (Maserati Stability Program)

calibration, which gives the driver greater freedom of action. Maserati’s acclaimed Skyhook

adaptive suspension is available as an option.

EXHAUST AND BYPASS VALVE SYSTEM.

The acoustics of every Maserati receive special attention, and the GranTur ismo MC is no

exception. A Maserati like this, designed for the road but developed through racing, must

have an intense, unmistakable sound: this has been achieved by perfectly matching the

exhaust with the insulation and using lighter rear silencers for a richer, more satisfying

sound. The exhaust is also equipped with a hinged silencer bypass valve to further enhance

the GranTurismo MC’s sportiness. The valve is permanently open in Sport mode. The MC

doesn’t just sound like a race car; just as they are on the GT4 and MC Trofeo race cars, the

exhausts are higher and more centrally located to further emphasizes the sharper character of

GranTurismo MC Trofeo.

Designed for optimal performance on both road and track, the 20’’ Pirelli PZero Corsa

tires are slightly wider than those provided as standard equipment on the GranTur ismo S

and offer increased grip without compromising handling and comfort. Thanks to their

design and the use of materials conceived and ref ined by Pirelli for racing, they guarantee

unbeatable grip and response, together with improved precision and constant eff iciency

even on the track.

The rear tires feature an asymmetrical tread with large blocks on the outer shoulder for

improved lateral grip, while the front tires have a directional tread for outstanding g rip

ACTIVE SAFETY.

Information Provided by:

The new GranTurismo MC boasts exceptional control in al l conditions,

thanks to its advanced control logic, the MSP (Maserati Stability

The MSP system is designed to:

• Recognize the onset of skidding and helps stabilize the car in milliseconds;

• Help prevent the wheels from locking under braking (ABS);

• Distribute the braking force between the front and rear axles to help

maximize braking force (EBD);

• To help prevent the drive wheels from spinning on low grip surfaces (ASR);

• To help prevent the drive wheels from locking when down shifting on

low-grip surfaces (MSR).

When the Sport mode button is pressed, the action of the MSP is

moderated to provide more sporty handling. The cut-in threshold is

moved upwards and the system acts primarily on the brakes without

affecting engine power delivery.

Program) system which is always active in the background, without

depriving the driver of the sensation of total control at all times. Thanks

to the ideal balance of 48.5% front and 51.5% rear weight distribution,

obtained by setting the engine behind the front axle, road holding and

grip under acceleration are also outstanding.

MASERATI STABILITY PROGR AM (MSP).

Developed exclusively by Maserati, the MSP encompasses a series of

electronic systems that are designed to optimize the car’s dynamics and

safet y capabilities on the road. The system has a series of sensors that can

detect anoma lies in the dynamic behavior of the car and, by using the

brakes and the engine the system automatically helps to stabilize the car.

28

MASERATI STANDARD LIMITED SLIP DIFFER ENTIAL .

A standard Limited Slip Dif ferential helps maximize available traction

under power. It overcomes the tendency of a normal open dif ferential

to send all torque to one wheel with low grip, creating wheel spin. The

Limited Slip Differential effectively locks the two rear wheels together

and delivers power to each. The result is maximum acceleration, in both

straightline driving as well as in cornering.

ADAPTIVE LIGHT SYSTEM.

Information Provided by:

The Maserati GranTurismo MC features self-leveling Bi-Xenon gas

discharge headlights for the brightest illumination. The Bi-Xenon

headlights are enhanced further by the new Adaptive Light Control

system, a mechanism that makes the headlights turn in the direction of

the car when driving around curves improving illumination of the road

and surrounding areas to optimize the driver’s view of the road ahead.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST ( HBA).

The Maserati Hydraulic Brake Assist system recognizes panic situations

by analyzing a combination of parameters such as the power brake

pressure gradient, the wheel speed and illumination of the third stop

light. The system monitors these parameters and takes over from the

driver in activating the brake system at full power to ensure that full

brak ing force is used under these conditions.

PASSIVE SAFETY.

The load-bearing body structure helps enhance the safety of the new

Maserati GranTurismo MC; furthermore, the application of the latest

design technologies makes it possible to optimize the weight balance

and per formance. The structural part of the body is made of steel, the

hood and front strut of the bumper are made of aluminum, while the

trunk lid, made using Sheet Molding Compound technology, helps keep

the weight of the car down.

The six airbag system on the Maserati GranTurismo MC has four

individual sensors in the front and sides of the car and on a control unit

located near the center console. The Maserati GranTurismo MC uses a

new generation of dual stage airbags for the dr iver and front passenger.

The latter is protected by airbags which adapt to the passenger’s size

and stature.

EPB is available on al l Maserati cars, and is engaged by simply pressing

an electrical button on the central tunnel which takes the place of the

conventional mechanical lever. If necessar y, it can also be used when

the car is moving: the system, communicating with the stabilit y control

(MSP), acts on al l four wheels, to provide rapid braking (deceleration

0.5 g), in case of emergency situations.

ELECTR IC PARKING BRAK E (EPB).

Both the front and rear seat belts have electron ically-controlled

pretensioners and load limiters of the most modern type. The front

and rear safety belts are electronically controlled and equipped with

pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiters. The system communicates

with a sensor which evaluates the sever ity of a collision and, depending

on its calculations, optimally inf lates the airbags ; it also takes into

account the status (fastened/unfastened) of the seat belts.

Finally, an inertia l switch is designed to stop the fuel pumps and help

prevent f ire breaking out in case of violent collision.
