Elegant, and Powerful



The GranTurismo MC Stradale, originally a two-seater version of the four-seater GranTurismo coupe tuned for performance, has now been reintroduced as a four-seater while retaining its driving dynamics. This new four-seater GranTurismo MC Stradale debuts as the previous two-seater model is removed from the catalog.

The "MC" in "MC Stradale" stands for "Maserati Corse" (Maserati Racing), and "Stradale" means "road." Thus, it signifies a "race car for the road." Living up to its name, the "MC Stradale" retains its formidable performance even as it transitions from a two-seater to a four-seater. Maserati announces that four people can now enjoy the signature Maserati driving experience simultaneously.

The engine featured is theGranTurismo Sport4.7-liter V8 engine, also found in the GranTurismo Sport, producing a maximum output of 460 hp. This is paired with a 6-speed automated manual gearbox with MC Race Shift. Achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 303 km/h, the four-seater version shows no compromises compared to the previous "MC Stradale."

The newly adopted, deeply sculpted carbon fiber hood incorporates a single air intake and two air extractors. This design not only reduces weight but also enhances front downforce by 25 percent at 140 km/h.

The braking system is by Brembo, featuring 6-piston calipers at the front and 4-piston calipers at the rear. Carbon-ceramic discs provide powerful stopping capability. The tire sizes are 255/35ZR20 for the front and 295/35ZR20 for the rear, fitted with forged aluminum wheels.
