experience the Maserati Grant urisM o Mc sport line

Created to emphasise the sporting DNA of the Maserati cars, the “MC Sport Line” is for customers who wish to express their passion for sports cars with a dynamic look, and want the very latest technical solutions to enhance their driving pleasure. The “MC Sport Line” range was developed with the help of the Maserati Corse racing team’s technicians on the basis of their competition experience. The designer of the Maserati Style Centre were also inspired by the world of racing: it is no coincidence that all the components are made of carbon fibre, which has always been a favourite with racing fans.
