Having been developed from a racing car, the GranTurismo MC Stradale is an exciting and powerful road car. This is due to its engine, more powerful than that of the GranTurismo S, its significantly reduced overall weight, innovative carbon ceramic brake system, improved suspension and, above all, the new MC-Race mode, available at the press of a button, which makes the GranTurismo MC Stradale more responsive and dynamic than ever. 23 THE POWER OF BEAUTY.

As a car which marries the race track to the road, the Granturismo mC stradale offers the driver three driving modes: Auto, sport and Race; the newest and most dynamic of the three. In every mode, the accelerator is more responsive than that of the Granturismo, but it is the Race option that gives the most exciting ride. Race mode is activated at the touch of a button in manual gear mode, and maximises performance of all parameters, rendering the Granturismo mC stradale more responsive than ever. In particular, it differs from sport mode, in which the exhaust bypass valve can be opened at over 4000 rpm to give a more exciting sound. In Race mode gear changes take place in just 60 milliseconds thanks to the computerised shift control. It also offers the option of sequential downshifting, which works by the driver simply holding in the down-shift paddle on the left of the steering column while braking. the car will keep changing down gears at exactly the right moment as the speed lowers until the driver releases the gear-shift paddle. this is very useful when a section of road turns from a long, fast section into a tight turn, where the Granturismo mC stradale driver only needs to make one movement to select the correct gear, rather than a series of gearshifts. 24 MC RACE MODE.

As well as stiffer dampers, the Granturismo mC stradale includes larger-diameter roll bars which minimise lateral load shifts (roll angle -20%); overall, the car’s rigidity is increased by 16% at the front and 32% at the rear. the new set-up is combined with a special msp calibration, which gives the driver greater freedom of action. EXHAUST AND BYPASS VALVE SYSTEM. A maserati like this, designed for the road but developed from racing, must have an intense, unmistakable sound: this has been achieved by perfectly matching the exhaust with the insulation and using lighter rear silencers for a richer, more satisfying sound. the exhaust is also equipped with a hinged silencer bypass valve to further enhance the Granturismo mC stradale sports identity. the valve is permanently open in Race mode, and opens at over 4000 rpm in sport mode. but the car doesn’t just sound like a race car. Just like race track cars, the exhausts are located higher and more centrally, like on the Gt4 and trofeo: this is a significant detail which further emphasises the character of the Granturismo mC stradale.

Innovation in braking systems is a maserati tradition. today, tradition meets the future: after the introduction of dual cast disc brake technology, the Granturismo mC stradale is equipped for the first time in the company’s history with carbon ceramic brakes. these brakes are lighter and more powerful than conventional brakes, and following rigorous testing on the Nürburgring, fiorano, le Castellet (paul Ricard) and balocco race tracks, have proved their ability to handle the very high stresses typical of racing, thus making them an exceptional solution to the durability and response requirements of high performance road driving. the heart of the new system is a larger master cylinder (27 mm diameter, compared to the previous 25 mm) with brembo carbon ceramic brakes, 60% lighter than conventional brake discs of the same size. the front end is equipped with 380 mm x 34 mm ventilated discs, with fixed six-piston caliper. the larger rear discs measure 360 mm x 32 mm, with fixed four-piston caliper. the brakes are designed and calibrated to provide the highly appreciated gradual braking of the Granturismo s in everyday driving. the new aerodynamics of the Granturismo mC stradale also provides each brake with its own integrated two-part cooling system, with a duct conveying cold air directly from the grille to the centre of the disc. A slot in the front wing generates more even air flow and extracts hot air from the braking system. with such innovations, the Granturismo mC stradale matches the response in all conditions, the car can stop from 100 kph in just 33 m, with engine’s formidable power and acceleration with effective and responsive an average deceleration of 1.2 g. braking. thanks to the high performance brembo brakes with their instant 30 BRAKING SYSTEM.

ACTIVE SAFETY. The new GranTurismo MC Stradale can boast exceptional control and safety in all conditions, thanks to its advanced control logic, the MSP (Maserati Stability Programme) system which is always active in the background, without depriving the driver of the sensation of total control at all times. Thanks to a balanced weight distribution (48,5% front - 51,5% rear), obtained by moving the engine back behind the front axle, road holding and grip under acceleration are also outstanding. MASErATI STAbIlITY ProgrAMME (MSP). Like all the cars in the range, the GranTurismo MC Stradale is also equipped with the Maserati Stability Programme (MSP) which, when the car initiates a skid, reduces torque, activates the brakes and stabilises the car in just a few milliseconds. Furthermore, the ABS system prevents the wheels locking while braking, distributes braking force between the front and rear axles to prevent the rear wheels skidding and prevents the drive wheels losing grip on low grip surfaces. When the Sport mode button is pressed, the action of the MSP is moderated to provide more sporty handling – although without compromising safety. The cut-in threshold is moved upwards and the system acts primarily on the brakes without affecting engine power delivery. 34 SAFETY. ACTIVE SAFETY.
