Maserati has revealed a Limited Edition GranTurismo for the Middle East – the Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sportline. Just 12 will be built. I wonder if they’re going to have to fit an extension to the boot to get all that on the back of the car – Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sportline? It’s a [...]

Maserati has decided that the recently revealed GranCabrio will be known as the GranTurismo Convertible in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. ‘A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet’ said Juliet.
