Maserati has released a limited Granturismo model for the Middle East car market. The Granturismo S MC Sport Line has a matt white “Ice” paint job, optional aerodynamic kit, carbon fibre finishes, black alloy wheels and aluminium racing pedals.

The Granturismo will be limited to just 12 models, one for each of the Middle East Maserati dealerships, and another 11 will be produced for Italy with a different white tint. It’s not just a limited edition model in terms of the colour, though, featuring the MC Sport Line suspension with stiffer dampers, modified brakes and roll bars and a stability control system.

The limited edition Granturismo model should be equipped with a 4.7-litre V8 engine with 440 hp. For more details, see the press release after the jump.

Limited-edition GranTurismo S MC Sport Line

The limited-edition Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sport Line with Matt White “ice” finishing is here portrayed in front of the futuristic structure of the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, where it was unveiled in a dedicated event for a selected number of Maserati customers of the Middle East.

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 has been invaluable. The world of motor racing also inspired Maserati’s designers when it came to styling, hence the extensive use of carbon fiber.

Only twelve GranTurismos in this configuration will be produced in Modena, all for the Middle East markets. Twelve is also the number of world titles which make up the prestigious palmares of the MC12 in the FIA GT International Championship since 2005: 2 Constructors’ Cups (2005 and 2007), 4 Drivers’ Titles 4 (Bartels-Bertolini in 2006, Thomas Biagi in 2007, Bartels-Bertolini in 2008 and 2009); 5 Teams’ Titles (from 2005 onwards uninterruptedly with the Vitaphone Racing Team); 1 Citation Cup in 2007 with the gentleman driver Ben Aucott.

Furthermore, twelve are the Middle East cities where Maserati is present with a dedicated showroom: each car will feature an internal plaque with the name of the city to which it is committed.

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