Maserati introduced the GranTurismo MC Stradale for the 2015 model year. The MC Stradale was a lighter and more powerful variant that combined the luxury and aesthetics of Maserati with sportier driving ability. Inspired by the MC racing cars, the MC Stradale was only built in a coupe body style and had a 4.7L V8 engine capable or producing 510hp. With a six speed automatic transmission and drive sent to the rear wheels, the MC Stradale is the most radical and performance-focused version of the GranTurismo.
