Maserati GranTurismo MC Corse Concept Revealed
The concept has been developed specifically for the racetrack, it is based on the GranTurismo S and possesses the same lightweight 4.7 liter V8 engine. Engineers have gone smashed a little extra out of this power unit with output rising from 440hp to 450hp. The upgrade is attained with a new air intake system, competition-spec catalytic converters, revised airflow and a new exhaust system.
Of course a modest increase like this is hardly going to turn a road car into a serious contender on the track, that is why the Maserati engineers have boosted the model with a new aerodynamically enhancing body kit featuring a new front splitter, an enlarged rear spoiler and road hugging rocker panels. The new 18x12-inch front and 18x13-inch rear wheels hide the an upgraded suspension system and it also sports enlarged brake discs with monobloc racing calipers. The model is completed with a FIA-approved rollcage.

 looks great I think. I think they could have done with a little more than 450bhp but it does have weight-savings and better dynamics, so it should be good.

I think it looks great. But the rear quarter looks a lot like an AM.
