A limited-edition Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sport Line with Matt White “ice” finishing has been unveiled at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The limited-edition vehicle is designed to portray the sporty DNA of the Trident.

It is inspired by the experience gained on the track by the Maserati Corse racing department, who made a tremendous contribution to the project’s functional components. Its racing inspiration is made obvious by the extensive use of carbonfiber. For the Middle East markets, only 12 of these GranTurismo vehicles will be made.Continued after the jump!

Two days ago we told you about the intentions of Fiat to built 50,000 units a year at the ex-Bertone plant, but today we find out something new. The Officine Automobilistiche Grugliasco (OAG) a.k.a. the new name for the former Carrozzeria Bertone plant will begin production in late 2011 and will be used to produce 2 cars based on Chryslers.

The new models will be officially announced when Chrysler presents its five-year plan on Nov. 4 but sources from Officine Automobilistiche Grugliasco confirmed that the factory will use the rear-drive platform of the next Chrysler 300C and the new Pentastar V-6 gasoline engine, scheduled to debut next year on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The first model could replace the Lancia Thesis sedan while the second model, scheduled to come in 2012 could be ”an entry-level Maserati sedan slightly smaller than the Quattroporte”.

At the UK debut, a tribute to the Trident marque will be given. The new 2010 GranCabrio model will join other Maseratis at this Sunday’s ‘Maserati Magnifica’ themed Breakfast Club.

The Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon Chronograph is a high quality watch inspired by the Maserati MC12 Corse. The watch comes with matching colors and the Maserati Trident.

At first glance it looks like the car-inspired timepiece has nothing in common with the car it is trying to represent, except maybe the color finish. However, on closer look it becomes clear that both have the same intricate qualities and precision engineering. The Maserati MC12, which comes in the popular white and blue finish, was the authorized vehicle for the FIA GTI competitive MC12 race car. The chronograph is absolutely an impressive piece of engineering just like the street-going MC12. However, the most remarkable thing about the Audemars Pigeut is its $315,000 price tag, which is twice the price of the Gran Turismo S. The timepieces will be produced in a limited run of just 150 watches. Photo gallery after the jump!

The latest Maserati GranTurismo Spyder will not come with a retractable hard top which is the common trend among convertibles like the Ferrari California and others as initially thought.

There are confirmed reports saying that it has chosen with the more typical soft top. The move toward the soft top was caused by the poor sales performance of the Ferrari California. Furthermore, Maserati would like to aim more fully at the soft-top convertible Bentley Continental GTC. There are studies done that show more customers would opt for a soft-top rather than a retractable hardtop. Further details include the top down Grand Turismo will be sharing powertrains and transmissions with the coupe variant. The implication is that the 405hp 4.2-liter V8 together with the 433hp 4.7-liter unit will be ultimately offered since the carmaker always desires to boost interest on its new models. Come September 2009, the Maserati GranTurismo Spyder will be introduced to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Although a premium is to be anticipated over the Coupe version, pricing details have not yet been released for the new model.

Maserati is quietly preparing the “topless” version of the GranTurismo! There is no secret in that, but according to our sources it seems that the new vehicle will make its debut in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show and will be in showrooms in early 2010.

Under the hood this car will carry the 4.2-liter V8 capable to deliver 405 hp and, just like the coupe version, there will be also an ‘S’ version which will carry a 4.7-liter V8 engine delivering 440 hp.

The new Maserati GranTurismo MC racecar, which has been developed for competition in the FIA GT4 class and in several other GT4 European Cup races in the latter part of 2009, has been revealed.

It is derivative of the GranTurismo MC Concept which was introduced in Monza last September and is patterned on the electro-actuated gearbox system-equipped GrandTurismo S road version. Not much is known about the car except that it is powered by the GranTurismo’s 4.7-liter V8 powerplant and comes with a double cone racing air filter, high-flow exhaust with removable catalysts and a full carbon fiber body. According to the carmaker the car comes with a power-to-weight ratio of less than 3.4kg/hp (4.6g/kW) and a curb weight of under 1,400kg. The car was deliberately chosen with GT4 traits because this is the class with the closest connection to factory versions, and also the response to a niche of GranTurismo road car owners who are looking for a racing variant of their cars. There will be a limited series GranTurismo manufactured for those who want to enter the 2010 GT4 European Cup and the national series which will hit the market beginning October 2009. The initial price tag is 135,000 Euros excluding taxes, and the racecars will be vended directly via the company’s racing division, the Maserati Corse. Eventually, Maserati will be launching its own one-make series, akin to the Super Trofeo series of Lamborghini, hoping to debut the car next year. Photo gallery after the jump!
