I do love a the GC and in this colour but those 3 letters, dreaded VRT make it just not cost effective here

Ooooh! That is nice. It says it's an MC Shift, but I don't think that's correct. Anyone know which variant of gearbox was actually used on these?

Not heard of Blu Electro, is that correct or do they mean blu elettrico although it's similar to blu sophicato. Either way it's a great colour and a Stradale under £50k too

That's an autoshift, which makes me wonder if it is a Stradale or just a body conversion.

Autoshift is the sort of MC/auto hybrid, correct? The one that everyone loves?

I think the Grancab MC is essentially a Grancab with the Strad body parts but normal underneath. Maybe Strad suspension.

Someone who knows WTF they're typing about will probably be along soon to explain. :)

They aren’t a Stradale...Maserati bought this model out with the Stradale body but never called it a Stradale as its not a full fat Stradale....No carbon breaks, different gear box and I think it has the same power as a Grancab Sport. I do think it may have had the suspension set up though And maybe faster gear changes but not sure about that....t’s sort of a Luke warm Stradale....

it was a colour that came out on the Grantourismo Sport....Although Blue Electro off here had that colour on this GT S which wasn’t a face lift so maybe it was on the option list just before the Sport face lift came out.

His was a one off, I recall.

And Maserati forgot what colour they painted it. cf the headlamp washer cover fiasco.

There's a blast from the past! Anyone still in touch with Drew?

Miles' car had a helluva turn of speed. For a car with supposedly the same engine as mine, he was easily faster down the back straight at Brunti.

Must have been something wrong with your GTS Adam as his GTS was about the same speed as mine!

We were neck and neck until I hit the limiter in 5th (doh! schoolboy error). Think @Zep was driving in the pic.

Can't be a nice spirited drive across France!

I remember following him to (or from) Zep's and not being able to hear my engine over his exhaust.

Car was loud as well :D

Ah yes, I was getting confused between Blue Electro and Blue Sofisticato. Sofisticato was the new colour on the face lift.
