Those Keystone Classics are terrific looking. I recall admiring them when in the mid 1970's

No idea why the Bombardier has Ferrari all over it, but nice matching helmets

Every new Maserati is always styled to be a unique symbol of prestige and the Maserati GranTurismo can be consideringa modern day masterpiece. The Maserati GranTurismo heart is its V8 4.2L engine, which design generates the power and rapidity that are typical of the competition engines. In the specific, the V8 engine has been conceived to give extreme responsiveness to every input on the accelerator. Compact, light and quick to respond, the engine featured in the Maserati GranTurismo can deliver 405 hp at 7,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 339 lb/ft (460 Nm)at 4,750 rpm.

The 6-speed automatic transmission by ZF provides a smooth, relaxed driving and it is designed to respond with a superior versatility in every situation. For those desiring to push the GranTurismo to its limits, the transmission provides ultra-fast gear changes up to 7,200 rpm. For a more relaxed driving, the transmission has been designed with ratios that reduce fuel consumption as well as interior noise at high speeds, guaranteeing comfort and smooth gear shifts.

The Maserati GranTurismo S feature four model: Auto Normal (for comfortable and smooth drving), Auto Sport (for those enjoying a sportier ride), Auto ICE (for low grip conditions) and Manual. By pressing the "Sport" button" on the dash, the driver opens the valves allowing the exhaust to escape more quickly while the lower back-pressure lets the engine reaching its 433 bhp peak power output. If the Manual mode is selected, the driver will change the gears via the shift paddles located in the steering column.

The GranTurismo automatic transmission is located in the front, in line with the engine. The auto-adaptive software fitted in the Maserati GranTurismo transmission allows to automatically adjust gear changing to adapt to the different driving styles and road conditions. There are four operating modes: normal, sport, ICE and manual. When driving normally with steady acceleration, the gear changes occur at relatively low revs to achieve the most comfortable drive possible. The Sport mode is selected via the sport button to enhance gear shifts 40% faster than in the normal modeallowing drivers to fully appreciate the exhilarating performance of the GranTurismo. In the sport mode the way the Maserati Stability Control operates as well as the skyhook suspension are changed. The ICE mode is intended to be used when the tire grip is poor and helps providing traction even in the most slippery conditions. The manual mode allows achieving the maximum of the driving pleasure as well as car performance: the gears are directly selected by the driver sequentially, either via the gear shift lever of the paddles on the steering column.

I am glad Maserati have gone this way, as I feel this has produced some of the nicest cars they have ever had available. And my personal favourite? The Maserati GranTurismo, which combines all the smooth elegant shapes and lines to create what I consider to be one of the best looking cars on the marketing nowadays. I am sure it isn't perfect, but in the constantly evolving world of car manufacturing and design I think they are pretty close to hitting the nail on the head. After all, the GranTurismo is sculpted from its long bonnet through to the slope of its boot, and it really is quite a masterpiece!

The vehicle was offered with a 6-speed automatic transmission system using ZF technology. The measured curb weight of this vehicle was about 4145 pounds. The wheelbase of the vehicle was about 115.8 inches. The length of this vehicle is about 192.2 inches, whereas width and height of the vehicle are about 72.7 and 53.2 inches respectively.

In terms of performance, the vehicle reaches up to 60 mph acceleration in just 4.8 seconds. This car is offered with a price of $130,000.

Maserati can produce some gorgeous automobiles. The Maserati GranTurismo is no exception, in fact we'd place it in the give-up-your-first-born-to-own-one category of beautiful. In addition to its looks, the GranTurismo is a powerful and luxurious grand touring machine that causes both eyes and ears to strain for more as it goes by. The 430-horsepower GranTurismo S was the king of the trident-wearing coupes, until today. Taking the stage at the 2010 Paris Motor Show is the all-new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.

The GranTurismo MC Stradale ratchets up the excitement by pushing power output to 450 horsepower. The chassis has been tweaked and the body slightly updated for increased aerodynamics. The MC Stradale manages to increase the levels of downforce without causing a noticeable increase in drag. The result is an elegant two-door that's begging for track time.

Geneva, Switzerland — Is this the car that will sway even the most ardent Ferrari owner? With a dynamic new design that propels the increasingly popular Italian sports car maker into the modern era, this car is already making waves just weeks after its debut in Switzerland for the Geneva Motor Show.

Though it's not quite as quick as a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Ferrari F430, the new GranTurismo from Maserati has its sights set on vehicles like the Porsche Carrera 911, the BMW M6 Coupe and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. And while those three vehicles are often labelled as beautiful sports tourers, Maserati has created something quite capable of outshining them.

There are pros and cons to two erstwhile rivals sharing the same roof. On the one hand, they can share resources, but on the other, they have to be careful not to step on each-other's toes. Sharing corporate space with Aston Martin meant that Jaguar had to clip its own wings when it came to the XKR for years, as evidenced by the more powerful versions that have come out since the two split.

There's no doubt that Maserati has benefited tremendously from its association with Ferrari, but that has consequently meant that the Trident marque has had to adopt a different approach, catering to a more luxury-oriented market than the raw performance of its big brother on the Prancing Horse. But that doesn't mean they can't push the envelop just a little, and that's what you're looking at here.

Called the MC Stradale, this ultimate version of the GranTurismo bridges the gap between road and race models in the same way the revolutionary Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale did in its day – and as the all-conquering 430 Scuderia did subsequently. To get there, Maserati's tuned the chassis, aero and engine to more closely resemble the levels attained on racing versions like the MC Trofeo spec racer and the GT4 competition model.

Modena claims increased downforce without a commensurate increase in drag, while the engine has been boosted to 450 horsepower as compared to the 430 in the existing GranTurismo S. That's about all the Italians have released at this point, but you're cordially invited to read the brief press release after the jump and check out the images in the gallery below as Maserati prepares the GranTurismo MC Stradale for its debut at the Paris Motor Show next week.
