We Don't Know What She's Saying, but her Maserati is Awesome

Doesn't matter if you can understand Russian or not....it's still an 'informative' review. 
We'll be honest to admit that we're now considering taking Russian language lessons. And if this is Russia's idea on how to present the Maserati GranTurismo, then learning the language certainly couldn't hurt.The presenter in this video has the hairdo of Marilyn Monroe, wears a high cut one-piece 'racing suit', fishnet stockings, and black leather driving gloves. So who cares if you don't understand, but we think you get the overall idea.
Be sure to pay attention to the four minute mark just to see her reaction when turning the ignition. It's definitely an entertaining way to present a car and we had no problem sitting through the nearly seven minute Maserati showcase.
Language isn't everything.

Satin Orange-Wrapped Maserati GranTurismo S by DBX

Let’s hope the owner of this freshly coated Maserati doesn’t bump into the Lamborghini Gallardo finished in an identical tone of orange.
Following their Lamborghini Gallardo Satin Orange wrap, a Maserati GranTurismo S has been given the same treatment, cementing our position that orange must be the new yellow.The body has been wrapped in Satin Orange, the hood, mirrors, door handles and grille are wrapped in carbon-fiber and the roof has been wrapped in matte black with orange Maserati Crown decal.Headlights, fog lights, and tail lights have all been tinted to various degrees, while the brake calipers are color matched in satin orange and sit behind 22-inch Foose alloys with orange and black crowns on the center cups.
A custom axle black exhaust system and a Satin orange Maserati crown emblem on the front grille complete the package.Photos courtesy of Diamond Black Exteriors.

One-Off Street-Legal Maserati MC12 Corsa on Sale for a Million Euros

Earth shattering sound and performance coupled with inspired handling and design makes the MC12 Corsa a leading supercar and worthy of its price tag.
One of the most exceptional beasts to have ever surfaced from Maserati's stables is currently up for sale.The MC12 heralded Maserati's return to the racing scene after a 37-year hiatus, developed from the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturer's Cup-winning MC12 GT1. Only 50 of the 55 models built were made available to customers, making it far more exclusive than the Ferrari Enzo on which it was based; while only fifteen hardcore variants, the MC12 Corsa, were released in 2006 intended solely for racetrack use.
Three of these were produced for testing and publicity, and the remaining twelve sold to valued Maserati customers who were restricted to using it on track days as it wasn't homologated for street use.However, this particular model, chassis #01, has been modified and certified for use on public roads. Its breathtaking beauty belies a monstrous 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 745hp, a top speed of 330kmh and the capacity to accelerate from 0-200kmh in just 6.4 seconds. Modifications include a catalytic convertor and silencer and an adapted fuel system for use with gas pumps.
The chassis has been raised to increase the car's ground clearance and four wheel -lifting motors have been added to make speed humps a simple formality.Trimmed in Black Alcantara and user friendly, this black beauty will wipe the floor with a Bugatti and is arguably a better investment car than the McLaren F1. Anyone with a spare one million Euros should act fast and give this rare supercar a new home; it's currently being offered at Mobile.de.
