V.O.B. - Cars: Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

The Great Trident has officially revealed its new roadster ahead of the Paris Motor Show next month. The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale gives the famed GT a refreshed appearance and a heartier heartbeat, claiming its place at the peak of the GranTurismo pyramid. The MC Stradale version of the GranTurismo receives a power boost to 450 hp, a slight upgrade over the S model but enough for some added kick on the concrete. While Maserati is holding the performance numbers close to their chest, they did suggest that the new GranTurismo MC Stradale will break the 300km/h barrier (186mph on American roads), putting into a class nearing supercar territory. As a brand, Maserati errs toward luxury over performance, but the MC Stradale may just push their values into a central balance. 186mph with Maserati looks is certainly nothing to sneeze at… Look for more on the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale at the Paris Motor Show 2010 starting on October 2nd.

V.O.B. - Cars: Mansori Gran Tourismo S

German luxo-tuners Mansory have added another beast to an already-impressive stable that includes Bentley, Ferrari, and Aston Martin, among others. The primary focus of Mansory is not on performance but rather aesthetics, resulting in the not-so-subtle look you see here. Mansory’s prior works have always been conversation pieces, with feedback ranging from superb (“Mansory…has beaten Rolls-Royce at its own game”) to subpar (their Panamera was described by Evo as the most tastelessly modified vehicle the publication had ever seen). The Gran Tourismo, Maserati’s most masterful creation to date, has received the full treatment, with swaths of carbon fiber wrapped around the front and rear valences as well as the grille and duct trim. Planted at each corner are custom color-matched wheels, which sit a little closer to the wheel wells thanks to a lower ride height. This one-off Gran Tourismo does get a 30-horsepower bump, but we doubt that will be the first thing on people’s minds when they see it. While their may be a lot of arguments about the true beauty of such a vehicle, it’s tough to dispute the craftsmanship from Mansory.

The unique layer of noise underlying electronic music is represented by a
random placement of fractals that run underneath the vehicle. Like bass in a song, some elements are poking out into the exterior. These fractals would also capture the noise and vibration from the road and convert them into energy that can assist with the onboard electronics. The unique sound this electric vehicle makes sound leak out through the wheels. The concept is a mixture between the recognizable and the alien.

V.O.B. - Cars: The Slick Mobile Office

Integrating the latest products from Apple into a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, I present to you the Brabus iBusiness, the sickest mobile office in town.

With a twin-turbocharged 6.3-liter V12 that produces 750 horsepower and 995 pound-feet of torque, the car itself is a beast. But the most unique thing about this car is its interior, mainly the rear accommodations.

In addition to the cushy leather seats, the rear compartment is stocked with two Apple iPads, two seat-mounted multimedia screens, a 64GB iPod Touch, and a 15.2-inch headliner-mounted Mac display. Not only can these products be used for personal use, but the two iPads also control the car's command system, encompassing the radio, navigation, and telephone systems. The whole Apple setup is powered by an ultra-small Mac Mini in the trunk that is housed in an electronically deployed drawer.
