In 2009 Maserati decided to present a radical version of the Granturismo from the competition MC: The MC Stradale,

It gains 110 kg: bucket seats, -26 kg, elimination of certain soundproofing, rear seats and piloted suspension. It includes a six-point seat belt, 120-liter fuel tank, 380mm / six-piston front and 326mm / four-piston rear brakes, 11x18 wheels mounted in 305/645/18 at the front and 305/680/18 at the rear and carbon fiber shocks.
In 2012, it will find its rear seats.

To move to 450 hp, Maserati revised the lubrication and coating of the camshafts and valve stems. The electronic management, reworked, boosts torque with 510 Nm at 4750 rpm, 80% of which from 2500 rpm.
