Design D'italia
"Cars: If you have a spare $210,000, you can own an Italian-made 2004 Ferrari 360. It has 4,000 miles on it and was driven by a little old Italian lady only to church on Sundays, joked Pete Swenson at Maserati of Minneapolis."

Announcing the GranSport MC Victory!

2/15/06 - To celebrate winning the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers' Cup, Maserati has launched a new limited edition model of the GranSport.


The Maserati GranSport MC Victory will be officially launched at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, and will be on the market from May, with only 180 uniquely numbered units produced.
As well as boasting finer standard equipment than the Maserati GranSport from which it derives, the new Maserati GranSport MC Victory offers a variety of new features that clearly link it to the Maserati MC12, celebrating its driving dynamics.
Externally, the Maserati GranSport MC Victory is immediately recognizable for its aerodynamic, blue carbon front and rear spoilers and for the Italian flag embedded in the side panels, another feature taken from the MC12.

2005: A look back at Maserati's victorious return to racing.


With a couple of months until the 2006 racing season starts, here is a look back at 2005, a major year in the history of Maserati racing.

For 2005, two customer teams each raced MC12 cars in the full FIA GT Championship; the German team, Vitaphone Racing, ran two cars in their distinctive black and green livery, while Monaco-based JMB Racing also had two cars, in dark blue. The races were designed to be a true test of man and machinery; most races were three hours in length, with a 24-hour race thrown in at mid-season.

Right from the beginning of the season, at the historic Monza circuit in Italy, the MC12 proved itself the perfect car for the series. It claimed four of the top five places in the season opener, and followed that up with a clean sweep of the podium at Magny-Cours, in France, three weeks later. These two races set the pattern for the season; the MC12 was fast and consistent, and at least one Maserati finished on the podium at each of the eleven races.

In their first 'official' season of competition since 1957, Maserati took the Manufacturers' Cup, and Vitaphone claimed the Teams' Championship from JMB - in both competitions, Maserati racked up more points than the rest of the competitors combined. The MC12 took four wins, eight second places and six thirds - eighteen podium finishes from 44 starts, a remarkable rate of success.

Five more international awards for the Maserati Quattroporte

" Important recognition also came from France and the respected Automobile Magazine. The publication elected the Quattroporte the "Best Car" in the luxury berlina category in its 26 January edition. As Stephane Meunier, editor of the French monthly, pointed out, the Trident vehicle is the only car to have received this award of three consecutive occasions. This is testimony to the extent to which the Quattroporte is valued by the French public.

To conclude, the Quattroporte was voted the "Best Car 2006" in the "Luxury" class by the Swiss magazine, Auto Illustrierte. The Modenese model took the prize for the second successive time and attracted 25% of the votes polled. This was almost 10% more than its nearest rival.

Since its international launch in September 2003, the Maserati Quattroporte has received 27 international awards."
