Street cars are cool. Race cars are cooler. An incredibly cool street car turned into a race car? That thud you just heard was our jaws hitting the floor.
The race ready Maserati GranTurismo MC in an achingly cool racing version of the sexy road going car. Power is only up 10 hp, but weight is down nearly a thousand pounds to 3090; it motor pulling a mere 7 lb/hp.
Not wanting to mess with a good thing, the looks are subtly changed, but there's an air of aggression that permeates through the form that is not present in the standard car. From the gaping front, lowered with big wheels stance, and massive rear diffuser, the car seems the perfect throwback to when GT race cars were actually just better road cars.
More importantly, the kind of cars you longed to own.
Our take? Unfortunately, if it ever does see the track it will be adorned with some horrible rear wing on the back to spoil its clean lines. As it is however, it may just be the best looking car available right now.
