Maserati has launched a special MC edition (that’s “Maserati Corse”) trim for the Ghibli and Quattroporte saloons and the Levante SUV. The specification celebrates the firm’s racing legacy, and will be available to buy on all three automobiles later this month.
Prices haven’t yet been confirmed, although Maserati has announced that its MC edition trim will only be used with its V8-engined automobiles in Europe. That must place the specification towards the top of each model’s line-up.

MC edition automobiles get a range of styling tweaks, including piano black trim, blue brake calipers and an exclusive badge for the rear wings and B-pillar. There’s also a choice of two model certain paint finishes, called Giallo Corse and Blue Vittoria, which were picked to honour the colours of Maserati’s home town of Modena.

Buyers also get some new gloss black alloy wheels, which differ slightly according to the model. The Levante MC edition gets 22-inch alloys, while the Ghibli and Quattroporte get 21-inch alloys. The exterior tweaks are rounded off by an electrically opening sunroof.
Inside, every MC edition model gets blue carbon fibre trim, a premium Bowers and Wilkins surround sound system and a special badge for the centre console. buyers also get a full complement of motorist help technology
The upholstery is also certain to the MC edition – and it’s a little unusual. The seats have been trimmed in a heavy metal blend of black leather and denim, while the panels are stitched together with yellow and blue thread. The headrests have also been embroidered with the company’s MC edition badging.
All three automobiles will be fitted with Maserati’s twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 in the brand’s flagship Trofeo specification. That indicates all three models will have an output of 572bhp and 730Nm of torque. It’s enough power to propel the fastest automobile in the range, the Ghibli, from 0–62mph in 4.3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 203mph.
