2013 GranTurismo MC Stradale

A couple of years after it was first launched, Maserati has updated the performance-orientated GranTurismo MC Stradale.

Compared to the original version, the most obvious difference is the appearance of a pair of rear seats. Clearly a sign that Maserati’s clientele is prepared to put up with a little extra weight in order to accommodate four people, then.

But that’s not the only change. Also fitted to the 2013 model are redesigned 20” forged alloy wheels, Brembo carbon-ceramic brake discs and a new carbon fibre bonnet.

Power comes from a 4.7 litre, normally-aspirated V8 engine that now develops 453 bhp (338 kW / 460 PS) with 520 Nm (383 lb/ft) of peak torque.

Given those outputs, performance is predictably brisk. The zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes just 4.5 seconds, while the top speed is 188 mph (303 km/h).

The 2013 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale makes its public debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. Pricing has yet to be announced.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
