Making its world debut in Geneva is the Maserati GranSport MC Victory, a limited edition model of only 180 units and a deserved tribute to Maserati's success in motor sports - the name intends to celebrate the greatest achievement of Maserati's 2005 motor sports season: the victory of the FIA GT Manufacturers' Cup - and the expression of Maserati's commitment to sportiness.

On each side, the Maserati GranSport MC Victory has a small enamelled Italian flag, similar to the one worn in official races by the Maserati MC12 driven by professionals like Michael Bartels, Andrea Bertolini, Timo Scheider, Eric van de Poele and Karl Wendlinger. The front splitter of the Maserati GranSport MC Victory was redesigned to guarantee more air load at high speeds with the addition of the two lateral aerodynamic profiles and a bigger protrusion. The sporty look is clearly expressed by the extensive utilisation of blue carbon fibre for the front and rear bumpers and for the interiors, where the typical elegance and colour matching of all Maseratis is stressed by a selection of leathers and Alcantara trim on the upper dashboard, the door panels, in the central part of the racing carbon seats to emphasise the sporty look and on the steering wheel for grip.
