GranTurismo MC Stradale (2011–2019)[edit]

In September 2010, Maserati announced plans to unveil a new version of the GranTurismo - the MC Stradale - at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The strictly two-seat MC Stradale is more powerful than the GranTurismo at 450 PS (331 kW; 444 hp), friction reduction accounts for the increase, says Maserati, due to the strategic use of “diamond-like coating", an antifriction technology derived from Formula 1, on wear parts such as the cams and followers. It is also 110 kg lighter (1,670 kg dry weight) from the GranTurismo, and more aerodynamic than any previous GranTurismo model - all with the same fuel consumption as the regular GranTurismo.[13] In addition to two air intakes in the bonnet, the MC Stradale also receives a new front splitter and rear air dam for better aerodynamics, downforce, and improved cooling of carbon-ceramic brakes and engine. The body modifications make the car 48 mm (2 in) longer.[14]
The MC Race Shift 6-speed robotised manual gearbox (which shares its electronics and some of its hardware from the Ferrari 599 GTO) usually operates in an "auto" mode, but the driver can switch this to 'sport' or 'race' (shifting happening in 60 milliseconds in 'race' mode), which affects gearbox operations, suspension, traction control, and even the sound of the engine. The MC Stradale is the first GranTurismo to break the 300 km/h (186 mph) barrier, with a claimed top speed of 303 km/h (188 mph).[15]
The push for the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale came from existing Maserati customers who wanted a road-legal super sports car that looked and felt like the GT4, GTD, and Trofeo race cars. It has been confirmed by the Maserati head office that only 497 units of 2-seater MC Stradales were built in total from 2011 to 2013 in the world, Europe: 225 units, China: 45 units, Hong Kong: 12, Taiwan: 23 units, Japan: 33 units, Oceania: 15 units and 144 units in other countries.[16]
US market MC's do not have the "Stradale" part of the name, and they are sold with a fully automatic six-speed transmission rather than the one available in the rest of the world. US market cars also do not come with carbon fibre lightweight seats like the rest of the world.[17]
The MC Stradale's suspension is 8% stiffer and the car rides slightly lower than the GranTurismo S following feedback from racing drivers who appreciated the better grip and intuitive driving feel of the lower profile. Pirellihas custom-designed extra-wide 20-inch P Zero Corsa tyres to fit new flow-formed alloy wheels.
The Brembo braking system with carbon-ceramic discs weighs around 60% less than the traditional system with steel discs. The front is equipped with 380 x 34 mm ventilated discs, operated by a 6 piston caliper. The rear discs measure 360 x 32 mm with four-piston calipers. The stopping distance is 33 m at 100 km/h (62 mph) with an average deceleration of 1.2g.
At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, an update to the GranTurismo MC Stradale was unveiled. It features an updated 4.7 L (4,691 cc) V8 engine rated at 460 PS (454 hp; 338 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 520 N⋅m (384 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm, as well as the MC Race Shift 6-speed robotized manual gearbox which shifts in 60 milliseconds in 'race' mode. The top speed is 303 km/h (188 mph). All models were built at the historic factory in viale Ciro Menotti in Modena.[18][19]
Note: the update from 2013 onwards is a 4-seater

I would argue that the four seater has the more aggressive looking bonnet, but then I would say that wouldn’t I
Nice colour, too many seats. (let bickering begin)

Performance for both cars are pretty much identical and I doubt anyone one driving them back to back would be able to tell the difference..Unless you are a superhuman racing driver...So the only choice is if you want 4 seats or 2....The 2 seater has the lovely carbon seats the 4 seater the better bonnet with those vents to mark it out more over a standard GT. But I am sure they will both make you smile.

The bonnet is suppose to replicate the race car I would imagine. The picture in the original brochure shows the 2 seater next to one and i would have liked to see it on the 2 seater as when they put it on the 4 seater it sort of made sense and made the two seater bonnet blend in with the rest of the GT’s even with this two small vents. If anything the two seater probably should have had the vents over the 4 due to its track/road car imagine Maserati hinted at. We all see something different though.

I agree- I like the bonnet without the scoop in the middle. My GT Sport has the same bonnet as the 2 seater MC and I think it looks perfect. Too plan without. Too over the top with.

Do you know how many 4 seaters there are in comparison Ewan?
