Maserati will unveil a new version of its GranTurismo MC Stradale, alongside all the new Quattroporte versions as they make their European debut.

Taking its inspiration from the Maserati Trofeo Championship race car, the MC Stradale four-seater also gets a set of new 20-inch wheels that make the whole thing look cooler. It features a redesigned carbon fiber hood framing a central air intake and dual exhaust pipes.

Under the carbon bonnet is a V8 4.7-liter engine from the GranTurismo Sport that develops 460PS (454hp) linked to an MC Race Shift 6-speed robotized manual gearbox.

This setup delivers great performance, and a top speed of 188 mph (302 km/h) that is identical to the 2-seater MC Stradale.

The safety of the vehicle is guaranteed by the Brembo carbon ceramic brake discs. We'll bring you more details when the car debuts in Geneva next week.
