The monthly magazine dedicates a six-page article to the Barcelona road test of the new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.

A two-page photo spread introduces the article, capturing the ‘spectacular’ car, in opaque Grigio Granito, in an exciting action shot during its test drive. The article opens with an extensive history of Maserati’s track performances before detailing the vast range of personalisation options offered on the car.

Then comes praise for the work carried out to reduce the car’s weight and make it perfectly balanced. The series of positive comments then turns to the performance, declared to be truly sporty: “few roadgoing cars reach the performance levels offered by the new Maserati”; “perfectly suited to the track, on the road it transmits a sense of being in complete control”.

The article continues: “From behind the wheel, the Maserati feels immediately agile, precise and with the touch of a race car”; “driving it brings the purest sensations”; “it is a prestigious car that can be used on the track without having to stop by the pits first”. The journalist also hails the efficient brakes and the stability that is delivered under any conditions. A rich photogallery and technical rundown rounds off the article.
