Maserati is planning to unveil a hardcore race tuned version of its super sexy Maserati GranTurismo Coupe to the Paris Motor Show next week, called the MC Corse.

Maserati officials have confirmed the convertible version of the GranTurismo coupe will arrive in showrooms by March of next year and these new renderings give us a good indication as to what the final styling may look like with the top down.

Stylish, sexy, and seemingly more exclusive than similarly priced offerings from German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Which is why more and more women drivers are looking to the Trident marque than ever before.

The guys at Fifth Gear get all the fun. This Maserati GranTurismo test drive video shows them enjoying the luxury touring car on some twisty roads in the mountains.

For the first time in the 17 years since it became a part of the Fiat empire, Maserati is in the black with a 1 million Euro profit recorded in the second quarter of this year. This compares to a 7 million Euro loss for the same period in 2006.

Maserati has released a set of photos of their up-coming GranTurismo . The Maserati GranTurismo coupe is styled by the Italian automotive design company Pininfarina .

Unlike the previous Maserati coupes, this new car has been designed by Pininfarina instead of Giorgetto Giugiaro from ItalDesign. One way or another, the new Coupe is absolutely gorgeous and has grown in size. It shares its basic platform with the Quattroporte sedan.
