Show stopper Maserati

Unveiled internationally at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, just 180 individually numbered MC Victories will be sold worldwide. Australia's first glance at the stunning GranSport evolution will occur at the 2006 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney.

Generously equipped, the Maserati GranSport MC Victory boasts a host of new features that link it to the victorious Maserati MC12 race car. Externally, the vehicle is easily identified via its blue carbon-fibre spoilers front and rear, plus the red, white and green Italian flag embossed into the front wings (another clear link to the MC12 racer).

Like the base-model, the MC Victory enjoys rapid performance thanks to a thumping 4.2- litre Italian V8 engine developing weaponsgrade outputs of 295kW and 451Nm – in a lightweight 1680kg package.

Serious aerodynamic aids are part of the MC Victory package, with a bigger front splitter than standard on GranSport generating greater aerodynamic down-force at speed, in concert with extended side skirts and sundry aero tweaks aimed at high-speed stability.

Hi-tech, race-inspired materials define the interior. Like the front and rear spoilers, the cabin's carbon-fibre highlights are also blue. This is matched with leather and Alcantara trim, which covers the dashboard, door panels, steering wheel and centre section of the carbon-fibre race seats.
