Newbie Maserati Question

[razbox]

Hi folks and Merry Christmas!

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Maserati GranTurismo S that has (1) the CC gearbox vs (2) the MC Shift?

[Pork]

I might be wrong, but I think one is an auto (the CC) where as the MC Shift is an automated manual.

Also, the CC has twin rear pipes which has valves that I think open at 3500 rpm in sport, where as the MC Shift has oval pipes with valves which in sport are open all the time.

MC Shift for me. There's no better sounding car.

Hmmm... Wikipedia says:

(1) GranTurismo S Automatic 2009- ZF 6-speed automatic
(2) GranTurismo S 2008- 6-speed sequential robotic with twin dry-plate clutch and paddle shifter

I think (1) is the base auto with the PRND stick, (2) is the CC, but then what's the MC Shift?

Perhaps the CC (Cambiocorsa) and the MC (Maserati Corse) Shift are the same thing.

MC shift is the rap version


seriously though i think MC shift is just the maser name for the f1 box, replacing the name cambiocorsa (cc)

i guess eventually they will get the far superior dual clutch box from the california - the mc shift is the 599's f1 i believe

The automated manual in the Gran Turismo has never been marketed as CC/Cambiocorsa.

The standard Gran Turismo 4.2 has a ZF Auto, the Gran Turismo S 4.7 was first launched with the ZF auto and soon after the automated manual version was launched marketed as the MC Shift.

'Cambiocorsa' was only used on the 2002-2006 4.2 Coupe/Spider and the Gran Sport, the same gearbox in the QP is known as Duo Select.

Thanks for the answer. So that means this advert is wrong in referring to it as a CC then:

Technically wrong but I know what they mean!
