While Maserati works on the perfection of GranTurismo the American tuner Elite Carbon is developing an update kit for it. The car is made really well as almost all that comes from the Italian auto maker, but the carbon-fiber body kit offered by the tuner impresses as well.
For those who love high speed and run the car as fast as they can Elite Carbon offers updated exhaust system, restructured braking system and high-performance headers.
Besides that the tuner covers Maserati in carbon-fiber from top to bottom. The upgrades include a front bumper with clear-painted carbon lip, brake intakes and side skirts. There are also clear-painted carbon lower section, a rear deck lid spoiler and a rear diffuser. All these carbon parts are very expensive considering the fact the carbon-fiber mirrors from this company for Ferrari F430 cost $3,000.
The final price for the updated Elite Carbon Maserati GranTurismo has not been announced yet.
