Maserati GranTurismo MC Makes Debut – But No U.S. Plans Set Yet

LE CASTELLET, France — The Maserati GranTurismo MC made its official debut on Monday, with word from Maserati that the $180,900 vehicle will not be rolled out in the U.S.

“There are no set plans for the U.S. at this moment, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be,” said Jeffrey Ehoodin, Maserati’s U.S. spokesman. He added that the GranTurismo MC is “not street legal, but I hope there may be one in the future.”

The GranTurismo MC will go on sale in Europe in October directly through Maserati Corse. The Italian marque noted that “the new model is an offshoot of the Maserati GranTurismo MC concept introduced last September in Monza and based on the Maserati GranTurismo S road version.”

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Rolls-Royce said its global sales may be flat this year but the luxury carmaker is banking on an economic recovery and the rollout of a new model to help jumpstart volumes in 2010.

“It could be anything from 50 percent higher to 100 percent higher,” Graeme Grieve, sales and marketing director of Rolls-Royce, a unit of German car maker BMW (BMWG.DE), told Reuters in an interview no Friday in response to a question about expected sales trends in 2010.

Rolls-Royce Chief Executive Officer Tom Purves also said the company’s total car sales could rise to 3,000 a year with the launch of its new RR4 model. In 2008, Rolls-Royce had total sales of 1,212 ‘Phantom’ model cars.
