2011 Maserati MC Corse ConceptWe’ve shown you the Maserati MC Corse Concept along with the European manufacturing auto it begat, the GranTurismo MC Stradale. That’s MC for Maserati Corse (racing), Stradale for the street-legal variant. See, within the Outdated Globe, where Maserati is remembered as a racing marque, some wealthy folks truly think about monitoring the big grand tourers the Trident builds today. But People in america reckon there are much better, lighter, additional lithe cars to go racing in, therefore the U.S. spec 2012 GranTurismo MC (generating its debut in Ny) dispenses with the significant track-only elements with the MC Stradale. That auto has no rear seat, its front seats are non-adjustable light-weight shells, and it wears carbon-ceramic brakes, all of which save 220 kilos. Our version retains the common interior seating and runs grooved steel brakes behind your choice of three 20-inch wheel styles (each and every lightened by two.two pounds relative for the standard 20s).
Energy comes from Maserati’s top-performing DOHC V-8, a 444-hp four.7-liter, bolted to a 6-speed automatic with MC Shift (paddle shifters with quicker response and match-rev downshifting). The factory claims it’ll speed up to sixty mph in 4.six seconds on its method to a leading velocity of 185 mph (needless to say, so did Joe Walsh’s, and he cautions “I misplaced my license, now I don’t generate.”)
