    I found this article online. Very cool looking and special edition GranSport. Not sure if there are plans to bring it to the United States.

    The Maserati GranSport MC Victory
    Just 180 uniquely numbered units to be produced

    To mark its 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers’ Cup victory, Maserati will launch a limited edition version of the acclaimed GranSport GT car at Geneva. The car will be available to order from May.

    As well as boasting more optional equipment as standard than the Maserati GranSport from which it derives, the new Maserati GranSport MC Victory offers a variety of new features that link it to the Maserati MC12.

    Externally, the Maserati GranSport MC Victory is immediately recognizable for its aerodynamic, blue carbon front and rear spoilers and for the Italian flag embedded in the side panels, another feature taken from the MC12.

    The front splitter of the Maserati GranSport MC Victory was redesigned to guarantee more air load at high speeds with the addition of the two lateral aerodynamic profiles and larger size. The Maserati GranSport MC Victory also benefits from more direct and precise steering and improved stability at high speeds, the same characteristics as the Maserati MC12.

    Inside, the carbon elements mimic the exterior by being made from blue carbon. This is coupled with a selection of leathers and Alcantara trim, used on the upper dashboard, the door panels, in the central part of the racing carbon seats to emphasize the sporty look and on the steering wheel for grip.

    The company is sure that from inside the cockpit "each and every driver will be able to experience the same exhilaration as the racing drivers of the Maserati MC12".

    I think it will be difficult to re-create the atmosphere of an unique car as the MC12.
    Anyway, it's a great piece of art made by Maserati.

    I would paint it with the same livery as the road going MC12.

    true you cannot recreate the atmosphere of a $800k exotic for something 1/8 the cost. however, when i was sitting in the MC12, i was surprised how familiar it looks to a GS / 90th anniversary. the leather, the blue color motif, the switches, the clock, the emblems, the brightex (sp?)... the interior does look like an enzo dressed by maserati.

    now, i am sure you can order the GS MCV in Bianco Fuji for extra $$$.

    interestingly, the seats are from MC12? didn't know it can bend forward.
