To celebrate winning the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers' Cup, Maserati has launched a new limited edition model of the Maserati GranSport.The Maserati GranSport MC Victory will be officially launched at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, and will be on the market from May, with only 180 uniquely numbered units produced.
As well as boasting finer standard equipment than the Maserati GranSport from which it derives, the new Maserati GranSport MC Victory offers a variety of new features that clearly link it to the Maserati MC12, celebrating its driving dynamics.

The new Maserati Trofeo Light will make its race debut this coming weekend in the Daytona 24 Hours (Florida,) at the opening round of the American Grand-Am championship. The Trident marque will field two cars for the endurance race which starts tomorrow, Saturday, 31st January, at 13h00 local time (19h00 C.E.T.) The Risi Competizione team has a crew made up of Germany's Ralf Kelleners, the American Anthony Lazzaro and Italy's Matteo Bobbi. Scuderia Maserati of Washington's driver line-up consists of Italy's Fabrizio De Simone and the Americans, Stephen Earle, Emil Assentato and Nick Longhi.

Maserati has designed a new road-going Grand Tourer known as the MC12 from which a GT racing version has also been developed. The result is that 37 long years after its last victory in an international championship (1967, Cooper Maserati F1, South African Grand Prix), the Trident is returning to the track. The Ferrari Maserati Group's wealth of knowledge and technological excellence have been poured into the design of the new car. In addition to this, its styling was developed in the wind tunnel from a Giugiaro idea by the Maserati technicians with the fundamental contribution of Frank Stephenson, the Ferrari Maserati Group's own Director of Concept Design and Development. The European type-approved version of the new car goes on sale after the summer.
