Notes :
The Maserati Granturismo S has always been one of my most loved sports car 
I decided to use Fortune Auto coilover as the single rate suspension and adjustable damper setup information of the real MC Trofeo is unknown. Nevertheless, this replica managed to replicate the 2013 lap time at Silverstone GP very closely.
Weight is at 1450kg ( 50kg heavier ) as I wanted to replicate the real weight distribution, and this does not affect the target lap time that I wanted to replicate at all. Also included above is 2014 power figure at 500HP, simply use 100% power limiter. Improve body rigidity is mandatory this time, as it's beneficial when racing tires are fitted. Any road cars in GT6 can use racing tire with no issues, all it takes is proper body rigidity level and suspension + LSD tuning to make the whole package works in harmony 
For LSD, a special model is used, Quaife ATB Competition differential, with high initial torque for competition level and high locking rate on drive side giving excellent traction which Quaife is famous for.
Suspension comes from a special model made by FORTUNE AUTO, the 510 Series Generation 4 Racing Coilover Kit with custom ID 65 SWIFT Springs.
The 510 Series Gen 4 featuring Fortune Auto's new Ultra Double Digressive Piston ( UDDP ) with updated shim stacks, the Digressive piston allows for high low speed rebound force that effectively control dive, pitch and roll. The rebound force also greatly tapers off to provide the driver with a supple and compliant ride while maintaining superior mechanical grip over rough surfaces.
The replica has 18kg/14kg spring rate with optimal lowered ride height and damper + ARB tuned for exceptional balance on sport soft tire ( racing hard slick equivalent IRL ) and racing hard ( racing medium slick IRL )
The Maserati was tuned and tested at Tsukuba, Brands Hatch GP, Bathurst, Ascari, Laguna Seca, Trial Mountain, Silverstone GP, Nurburgring GP/F and Nordschleife.
When tested at Silverstone GP, the car ( 488HP ) was capable of easy 2:12s lap on sports soft and my best test lap was 2:10s, the real life pole lap in 2013 was 2:11.5xxx on racing hard slick tire, done by gentlemen driver, which a pro driver would be capable of 2:10s - so this replica is pretty darn close.
Andrea Cecchellero secured his first ever Maserati Trofeo pole position after a tough battle with Renaud Kuppens.
The young Italian’s time of 2:11.550 was 0.201 faster than that set by the reigning champion and favourite for the Trofeo Europa to be awarded here at Silverstone.

UPDATE : Added Alternative suspension setup/alignment taken from Maserati Corse Gran Turismo S GT4
fast, I saw this thread pop up this morning, come back home from work, and before I could even think of buying the car there's like 10 000 000 tunes posted. Nice to see you back again with some tunes @
@
. And what is that I read from a few posts up, my good mustache friend (@
. I do hope we will see some new and old faces throw in some tunes. As for me, I don't know if I will have time to do both reviews and tune, I will see how it goes trying to tune this
, if after scraping three cars 
I can't get it right, I'll take the easy way out and just do the reviews. To all of you 
👍
