of its class. It includes the Skyhook system, Xenon
headlights, rear parking sensors, black grille and 19-inch

The GranSport lines up next to the track-prepared version of
the model, the new Trofeo GranSport.
The car will
compete in the third Maserati Trofeo championship which is
reserved for gentlemen drivers on the international scene. A
vehicle that always attracts admiring looks is the super
exclusive and extreme MC12. 2005 will see the second
production run of 25 MC12s. The glorious racing no 33 MC12
also appears at the stand. The car took two wins in the FIA
GT championship last season. This particular car will be
auctioned by Sotheby’s at Fiorano on 23 May along with other
out-of-production models from the past.
