Maserati GranTurismo MC Strandale

Maserati are now starting to unleash pictures of the new MC Strandale, a sportified version of the standard GranTurismo. It has been said to be inspired by the Trofeo version, much more racified with sponsors and all the sporty racing brash. The Strandale MC  is due to go on sale in Europe in the first quarter of 2011 with a U.S. launch shortly thereafter. It is powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine that delivers 450 HP which just happens to be 45 bhp more than the standard GT's 405BHP. Taking a look on the outside of the MC it has some new external features like to "blades" I will call which come from the perched sides of the MC to 3 Eights thereabouts, which certainly makes the car look alot more menacing and prepared to pounce then the standard GT. It will cost 154,721 Euros at release date, which is about $205,000. Pretty expensive, but I'm sure it will be plenty worth it.
