Should be my last Maserati article for awhile.  I don't want to saturate the forum with them. Figured you may at least want to see the pictures. :P

LeftLane News: Here's the link if the pictures don't show up.





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.

Seems to me like they're pulling a trick out of Ford's bag with the Mustang - variations and spinoffs to prolong the lifespan of the vehicle's sales.  Maserati snagging the FIA GT Manufacturer's Cup is definitely cause for celebration though.   :wub:

Looks wonderful, though I still like the Spyder better.

Such a sexy car. I think I might take one of these over a Carerra.

Now let's not go overboard :P . But, if I already had a GT2 or something for a track car, I might pick-up a Spyder as a daily driver (another 911 would seem redundant and the Spyder is a really great looking car, with an even better engine).
