The Trident marque has also announced a second run of 11 examples decked out in matte white pearl for its domestic Italian market.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/maserati-granturismo-s-mc-sport-line\/low\/\">Maserati GranTurismo S MC Sport Line<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/maserati-granturismo-s-mc-sport-line\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/12\/31mcsportlineb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/maserati-granturismo-s-mc-sport-line\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/12\/32mcsportlineb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/maserati-granturismo-s-mc-sport-line\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/12\/33mcsportlineb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/maserati-granturismo-s-mc-sport-line\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/12\/34mcsportlineb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/maserati-granturismo-s-mc-sport-line\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2008\/12\/35mcsportlineb_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Maserati]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/01\/maserati-rolls-out-limited-edition-granturismo-for-middle-east\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Maserati rolls out limited edition GranTurismo for Middle East<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/01\/maserati-rolls-out-limited-edition-granturismo-for-middle-east\/\">Maserati rolls out limited edition GranTurismo for Middle East<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:30:00 EST.
