Worldwide Paris Premiere for the GranTurismo MC Stradale

MODENA, Italy, September 30, 2010 - The new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale will be the fastest,
lightest and most powerful car in the Maserati range when it goes on sale in
the first quarter of 2011. Inspired by the Trofeo GranTurismo MC and the
race-winning GT4 motorsport models, it will have more power, less weight,
razor-sharp handling and a top speed of over 300km/h.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale responds to demands for a
GranTurismo which can balance on-road driving needs with race-driving desires
and it incorporates the handling and aerodynamic lessons from Maserati's
three racing programs.

With 330kW (450 horsepower), the Maserati GranTurismo MC
Stradale generates more power (7 kW, 10hp) from the 4.7-litre V8 engine than
the GranTurismo S, while its 510Nm of torque is a further 20Nm improvement.
Its race-bred heritage is highlighted by a 110kg weight reduction from the
GranTurismo S, down to 1770kg. It mirrors Maserati's racing advantages by
retaining an optimal 48 : 52 weight distribution, ensuring balanced handling
and even tyre wear.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, the first Maserati in
history to have a dedicated Race mode, uses advanced electronics to cut
gear-shift times from the upgraded MC Race Shift electro-actuated transaxle
gearbox to just 60 milliseconds. This all helps to slash the 0-100km/h sprint
time to just 4.6 seconds.

With the removal of the rear seats, the Maserati GranTurismo
MC Stradale becomes the first two-seat Maserati since the MC12. The
GranTurismo MC Stradale has also benefited from new Brembo carbon-ceramic
brakes, custom-developed Pirelli tyres, a unique suspension layout and rigid,
light-weight, carbon-fibre race seats.

The GranTurismo MC Stradale also provides the latest step in
the well-trodden path between Maserati's racing programs and its production
road cars and, often, back again.

With a unique body design that is based around the
requirements of the track, the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale has borrowed
heavily from its racing car stablemates, the Maserati GranTurismo MC, both in
the Trofeo and GT4 configurations. It has a new front splitter, bumper,
bonnet, front guard panels, sills, exhausts and even a new rear bumper.

Yet it was also designed to be easy to drive, so it retains
all the inherent ride, handling and stability benefits of the GranTurismo S's
long wheelbase.

In this configuration, the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
will be on sale in February 2011 in all major markets, with the exceptions of
the USA, Canada and Korea.
