02.01.2010 LIMITED-EDITION GRANTURISMO MC SPORT LINE DELIVERIES SET TO GET UNDERWAY

MASERATI GRANTURISMO S MC SPORTLINE LIMITED EDITION

The limited edition Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sport Line model was first unveiled at the brand-new Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi at the end of November, presented at a dedicated event to a selected number of Maserati customers in the region.

Deliveries are set to get underway of special limited-edition Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sport Line finished in matt 'ice' white destined exclusively for customers in the Middle East and Italy.

Designed to enhance the sporty DNA of the Trident, the "MC Sport Line" sums up the experience acquired on the track by the Maserati Corse racing department, whose contribution to the design of the functional components - says Maserati - has been invaluable. The world of motor racing also inspired Maserati's designers when it came to styling, hence the extensive use of carbon fibre.

Only twelve GranTurismos in this configuration are being produced in Modena, destined for all the Middle East markets. Twelve is also the number of the world titles which make up the roll call of the MC12 in the FIA GT Championship since 2005: two Constructors' Cups (2005 and 2007), four Drivers' Titles (Bartels-Bertolini in 2006, Thomas Biagi in 2007, Bartels-Bertolini in 2008 and 2009); five Teams' Titles (from 2005 onwards uninterruptedly with the Vitaphone Racing Team); and finally, one Citation Cup in 2007 with the gentleman driver Ben Aucott.

Twelve is also the number of Middle Eastern cities where Maserati is present with a dedicated sales showroom: and thus each car will feature an internal plaque with the name of the city to which it is committed. This limited edition Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sport Line model was first unveiled at the brand-new Yas Marina grand prix circuit in Abu Dhabi at the end of November, presented during a dedicated event to a selected number of Maserati customers in the region.

A limited and numbered edition of the GranTurismo S MC Sport Line, finished in a Matt Bianco Fuji complete with pearlescent nuances, will also be dedicated to the Italian market. Only eleven customers in Italy will be able to sit behind the wheel of this exclusive car.
