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.

Each Maserati GranSport MC Victory is made unique by a
1-to-180 individually numbered badge with celebration logo.
