After showing the all new Quattroporte sometime ago, Italian car maker Maserati have something new for us at their stand at this year's Geneva Motor Show.

The highlight is the Gran Turismo MC Stradale which will now accommodate four passengers. The new MC Stradale had its world debut while the Quattroporte had its European debut at this year's show.

Although the new Quattroporte is the first Maserati to be built at the new Giovanni Agnelli plant in Grugliasco (Turin), the GranTurismo MC Stradale will in fact be built at the historic factory in viale Ciro Menotti in Modena.

Here are the highlights of the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale:
