Maserati launch GranSport MC Victory
To celebrate winning the 2005 FIA GT
Manufacturers' Cup, Maserati has launched a new limited edition model
of the Maserati GranSport. The Maserati GranSport MC Victory will be officially
launched at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, and will be on the market
from May, with only 180 uniquely numbered units produced. As well as boasting
finer standard equipment than the Maserati GranSport from which it derives,
the new Maserati GranSport MC Victory offers a variety of new features
that clearly link it to the Maserati MC12, celebrating its driving dynamics.
Externally, the Maserati GranSport MC Victory is immediately recognizable
for its aerodynamic, blue carbon front and rear spoilers and for the Italian
flag embedded in the side panels, another feature taken from the MC12.
Aerodynamic efficiency increased
The front splitter of the Maserati GranSport MC Victory was redesigned
to guarantee more air load at high speeds with the addition of the two
lateral aerodynamic profiles and a bigger protrusion. The Maserati GranSport
MC Victory is now more driveable thanks to more direct and precise steering
and an elevated stability at high speeds, the same characteristics as
the Maserati MC12.
Carbon, leather and Alcantara interior trim
The carbon elements, similar to the exteriors, are made of blue carbon.
This is coupled with a selection of leathers and Alcantara trim, used
on the upper dashboard, the door panels, in the central part of the racing
carbon seats to emphasize the sporty look and on the steering wheel for
grip. Inside the cockpit of the Maserati GranSport MC Victory each and
every driver will be able to experience the same exhilaration as the racing
drivers of the Maserati MC12.
