H R Owen reveals the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale in London
London, 21st October 2010
For one day only, H.R Owen Maserati secured the pre-production example of the stunning Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale for private viewing at their South Kensington showroom yesterday.
Straight from the stand at the Paris Motor Show, the MC Stradale finished in Bianco Eldorado white (echoing Sir Stirling Moss’s famous Maserati 250 Eldorado) attracted universal praise from out guests who were thrilled by the looks and sound of this exclusive Maserati.
The GranTurismo MC Stradale responds to demands for a GranTurismo which can balance on-road driving needs with race-driving desires, incorporating the handling and aerodynamic lessons from Maserati’s three racing programs. The GranTurismo MC Stradale produces more aerodynamic down force without producing more aerodynamic drag, produces more power (450 hp) without using more fuel and it is more agile without sacrificing the GranTurismo S’s highly praised ride quality.
