The Maserati GranTurismo is a coupe of 4.90 meters. The information available in this model we have two articles distributed. Here is the GranTurismo in its lower-power 4.2-liter V8 engine and 405 hp, and in the text we develop below are the two variants of higher power, "Sport" and "MC Stradale"-V8 of 4.7 liters and 460 hp. The first one replaced, in 2012, the GranTurismo S with 349 hp.
The GranTurismo Sport is available from € 144,422 (price and technical equipment), while the GranTurismo MC Stradale is available from € 177,170 (price and technical equipment).
An important difference between the two versions is the number of places as the Grand Touring Sport has four-Configuration 2 +2- and Grand Turismo MC Stradale has only two, but from mid-2013 will also be a four-seat variant . It has a carbon fiber hood and two different exhaust outlets (gallery), as well as alloy wheels and various interior with small details.

Mechanically, what differentiates GranTurismo MC Stradale GranTurismo Sport are the brakes , changing gears , and especially weight.
The variant " MC Stradale " carries a gearbox six-speed automatic with multi-plate clutch as a connecting element between the transmission and gearbox. The variant 'Sport' also carries an automatic change of the same number of gears , but you can choose between two types: one in which the connecting element between the transmission and gearbox is also a multi-plate clutch and another where this piece is a torque converter .
In front brake discs the GranTurismo Sport- the same that had the GranTurismo S , retired -his inside is bolted to the rim and is aluminum while the rubbing against the pads is cast iron (image) , for its part , rear brake discs are normal (image) . BMW has long used in some models brake discs of two materials, but with two pieces joined by bolts ( image ), the Maserati appear in one piece . Audi also uses similar ones in the R8 ( image). The GranTurismo MC Stradale , meanwhile , has carbon ceramic material discs and larger than the 'Sport'. In the two more powerful versions of the GranTurismo range is manufactured brake system Brembo .
Between the two models is a significant weight difference . The GranTurismo Sport weighs 1995 kg , while the two-seater MC Stradale is much lighter : 1770 kg - Maserati has not yet provided the data of the four-seater version . This weight difference explains why , despite equal power , the MC Stradale is faster ( comparative tab ) .
The Gran Turismo Sport suspension is standard variable hardness , while the Gran Turismo MC Stradale is fixed hardness . The GranTurismo Sport can have much more equipment than the MC Stradale GraTurismo , at least as far as the two-seater version refers ( trim tabs ) .
