The new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale will be the fastest, lightest and most powerful car in the Maserati range. Sounds promising, doesn’t it?

Exterior modifications are subtle, but include a front spoiler for downforce at high speed, rocker panels, a rear lip spoiler, and a rear diffuser, all available in clear-coated carbon fiber finish.
