For those who own a Maserati GranTurismo S and could use a bit more power (and more aggressive looks), then Novitec Tridente has it for you. Their latest tuning program would turn your GranTurismo S into a super-car unlike any other on the market. The upgrade adds to the ECU and exhaust to bring the total power of the 4.7 liter V8 engine to an immense 600bhp. But what can you expect from the wicked folks at Novitec, who’s been doing Maserati Quattroporte mods for some time now? An undeniably sexy vehicle that is nothing below fantastic, we’d sure love to get behind the wheel of this beast. [via gtspirit.com]

I really love it when new supercar concepts are being announced. No matter if they turn out to be the real deal, the thing is we get to see (most of the time) something new for our eyes and that’s a good thing. Last week Maserati tried posted on their website ““We are going to surprise you”. And that is ahead of the Paris Motor Show, so I knew it’s going to be … hot.

Here’s what they were talking about. The new Maserati GranTurismo MC Corse concept. Based on GranTurismo S, the Italian designers made this one for the racetrack but I’m sure if the response is higher than expected, a street version will be built.

Using the lightweight 4.7 liter V8 engine in the S version, the new MC Corse output nothing less than 450hp. They’ve also worked on a better suspension system, larger brake discs with monobloc racing calipers and a rollcage that was approved by the FIA. The engineers upgraded it with an air intake, competition-spec catalytic converters, revised airflow and a new exhaust system. The outside also got a body kit with a new front spoiler an enlarged rear spoiler, road hugging rocker panels, 18×12-inch front and 18×13-inch rear wheels. Sure looks nice.

We’ve just been tipped that a new Maserati GranTurismo S is going to be presented during Geneva in March. Though the reports are not yet official we’re expecting a V8 engine like the one on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione with a 4.7l capacity (up from 4.2l) and 440 hp (up from 405 hp) that allows it to hit 100km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The same rumors say that it’s going to have a double clutch gearbox and Brembo brakes.

I’m sure it’s going to get a lot of buzz when they’ll show it to the public.
