Maserati GranCabrio tuned by DMC

DMC tuning specialists revealed a new package, this time for the open-top Maserati GranCabrio. Under the bonnet, the 4.7-liter V8 engine gets a power boost to a total output of 582 horsepower and 472Nm of torque. The exterior appearance is improved thanks to a new orange finish, revised front and rear bumpers, side skirts, large air intakes and a rear diffuser. The German company also provides large 20-inch alloy wheels with 255/30R20 (front) and 305/30R21 (rear) tires

Maserati GranTurismo Project Deathbolt by SR Auto Group

Anytime we see a tuning package from SR Auto Group, we know that we are going to be in for quite a treat, but their latest tuning package is a little on the boring side. The American tuner has chosen to perk up the Maserati GranTurismo with a package called Project Deathbolt. The name may have been chosen for its intimidation factor, but this package is anything but. SR Auto Group developed Project Deathbolt in cooperation with PUR Wheels who have measured out the perfect fitment to create the package’s defining stance. The team picked out a stunning effective split five spoke design set of wheels finished in a gloss black paint to tie in all of the black lower valences. Combined with a pure white exterior paint job, these black wheels are the stars of the show, but that’s an easy task to accomplish when nothing else was added.

Project Deathbolt will still be powered by the Maserati’s standard 4.2 liter V8 engine developing 405 HP and 339 lb-ft of torque which means customers will still get from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph.  We still think SR Auto Group is a killer tuning firm, but if you need a reminder, just check out their Project Megalith based on the Ferrari 599 GTB.  Source: TopSpeed

DMC Maserati GT

The German tuning company DMC has released this custom version of the new Maserati GranTurismo called the Sovrano 2011. We love this blue color for the exterior, and under the hood you will find a new supercharger along with an ECU tune to boost the 4.7-liter V8 powerplant to 590 PS and 472 Nm of torque. This is an upgrade of 150 PS and 82 Nm of torque over the factory Maserati GT. Styling for the unqiue Maserati consists of a carbon fiber aero kit, featuring a new front bumper with lip spoiler, wide side skirts, boot-lid spoiler, and a rear diffuser for an extra aggressive look.

Suspension mods installed from DMC lower the Maserati GranTurismo sports car 30 mm, while a new wheel and tire combination make it more appealing. At the front are 20-inch rims wrapped in 255/30/R20 tires, while the rear recived 21-inch rims with larger 305/30/R21 high performance tires. Inside the Maserati GT is custom leather upholstery work with ornamental seems finished in checkered stitching. A new sports steering wheel and aluminum pedals round out the Maserati kit, and you can contact DMC for more details and specific pricing. Source: FancyTuning

Official: Novitec Tridente Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

Those who have had the pleasure of hearing Maserati’s awesome GranTurismo MC Stradale will tell you that it doesn’t need anything more. It already has a stunning soundtrack and jaw dropping looks. Novitec’s new kit for the MC Stradale has to offer something more for the Italian supercar; have they managed it? First we have to talk about what Novitec Tridente offer for the MC Stradale’s engine. A supercharged has been added and the horsepower figure cranked up from 450 to a massive 646hp. Obviously, Novitec’s engineers identified power as a week point for Maserati’s current flagship model. Boost pressure is limited to 0.43 bar and a water-to-air intercooler with two heat exchangers help keep reliability high. The € 23,900 conversion also includes a bigger intake manifold, larger injectors and a newly calibrated mapping for the engine electronics.

The MC Stradale will now cover the 0-100km/h sprint in 3.9 seconds, 200km/h in 11.4 seconds and it will continue on to a top speed of 306km/h. That means a conservative 5km/h increase on the standard car’s top speed, and a 0.7 second increase in the 0-100km/h time. Optionally, Novitec mechanics will have a fiddle with the car’s gearing, increasing top speed to in excess of 330km/h. As we mentioned before, the V8 gains 196hp and peak torque grows to 624Nm. Optically, the central air scoop has been adjusted to provide better cooling. This is available as an option and can be made available in lightweight clear-coated carbon fiber. Two large air vents are also included in the new hood. The sonorous butterfly-valve production exhaust system receives two black-coated or polished tailpipes whilst the rest of the car remains unchanged. A new tire and wheel combination has been fitted to this car including 21 inch wheels at the front and 22 inch at the rear. They are three-piece Novitec NM3 wheels with five double spokes mounted on 9Jx21, size 255/30 ZR 21 Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires at the front and size 315/25 ZR 22 tires on size 11.5Jx22 rims at the rear. Progressive sport springs have lowered the ride height by 25 millimeters. Novitec owners can tailor their vehicles to their personal preferences as far as interiors are concerned. Source: GT Spirit
