M C s p o rt l i n e p e r s o n a l i s at i o n
he extensive list of Maserati personalization
options available on the entire range has been
further enriched with the new “MC sport line”.
Created to emphasize the sporting DNA of Maserati cars, the
“MC Sport Line” is for customers who wish to express their
passion for sports cars with a dynamic look, and want
advanced technical solutions to enhance their driving
pleasure. The “MC Sport Line” range was developed with
the help of the Maserati Corse racing team’s technicians on
the basis of their competition experience.
The designers of the Maserati Style Center were also inspired
by the world of racing: it is no coincidence that all the
components are made of carbon fiber, which has always
been the material of choice with race teams.
Customers can select options from the “MC Sport Line” to
personalize both the exteriors and the interiors of the
Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic while also offering
customers the possibility of enhancing the handling of their
car via a special suspension setup.

The aerodynamic look can be modified with the
addition of two front deflectors and a rear spoiler, in
carbon fiber, developed with the aid of race-track tests
performed with the GranTurismo MC Concept.
The new aerodynamic parts increase the vertical load
(coefficient of lift: Cz -30%), allowing faster cornering
coming out of a corner.
The aerodynamic additions give the car a distinctive
racing look, an effect also assisted by the “dark line”
on the exterior and by the black painted side-skirts,
which provides an even more dynamic side profile.

An even sportier exterior can be achieved by combining
the carbon fiber aerodynamic additions with side mirror
housings and door handles in in the same material.

GLOSS BLACK NEPTUNE WHEELS
The dark shade of the carbon fiber is taken up by the
gloss black paint of the 20” wheels, with the aggressive
Neptune design.

INTERIOR CARBON PACKAGE
In “MC Sport Line” interiors, carbon fiber sets the
style: dashboard, door panels and rear side panels all
have carbon fiber moldings, while other interior details
are finished in gloss black to provide a closer match
with the carbon design.

INTERIOR CARBON PACKAGE - EVOLUTION I
The carbon fiber door sill with the script “MC Sport
Line” hightlights the fact that you are stepping into a
race-inspired environment; carbon fiber dominates the
central tunnel, highlighting the brilliance of the
chrome trim pieces.

INTERIOR CARBON PACKAGE – EVOLUTION II
To give the interior an even more distinguished look,
the entry package can be added to the carbon fiberclad instrument panel and longer gear shift paddles,
also in the same carbon fiber.

ADDITIONAL CONTENTS
For those in search of the ultimate in racing style,
additional items are available seperately:
• Black leather steering wheel with carbon
fibre-clad rim;
• Machined aluminium pedals with “MC”
logo in red, complete with footrest on
left.

The “MC Sport Line” program also provides the
option of a race-bred suspension and upgraded
disc brakes on GranTurismo S Automatic.
The “MC Sport Line” suspension features single-setting
dampers and a more rigid set-up, where attention has also
been paid to highlight an aggressive look: the exterior of the
dampers in matt black are marked by a red “MC” logo in the
same red color as the springs.
Compared to the standard units, the MC Sport Line discs are
perforated around the perimeter for less fade along with 4
slots that help keep the brake pad clean, limiting loss of
performance due to the build-up of brake dust, etc., caused
by braking: while in the case of rain, their mechanical action
helps to break up the film of water. Blind holes have been
The “MC Sport Line” suspension is combined with perforated
and slotted front and rear disc brakes which help provide a more
immediate braking action during sustained spirited driving.
added inside and outside of the braking surface for more
uniform wear of the brake pad and disc surfaces, keeping
braking efficiency constant over time.

MC SET-UP
The electronically controlled dampers installed on the
Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic can be replaced
with a fixed-setting type (spring and dampers with
damping factor increased by + 8%), combined with a
larger-diameter roll bar for the rear. This different setup removes the filtering effect of the electronics to give
a more direct “feel” of the car’s responses and reduces
the load transfer (rolling angle - 8%) increasing agility
and driving pleasure.
We suggest combining the aerodynamic package with the sport suspension
set-up as this combination allows both the wings and the suspensions to
work more effectively to achieve the best performance in handling.
