Mansory’s take on the Maserati Gran Turismo S – Click above for high-res image gallery

Mansory, a “specialist for refining luxury automobiles,” has had its way with the Maserati GranTurismo and GranTurismo S. The black-and-redness you see above is the result. Carbon fiber does duty on spoilers and aprons at the front and back, as well as the grille and trim for the new duct work. It’s definitely… polarizing, but this one-off Maser is certainly less outrageous than some of Mansory’s other creations.

There are about 30 more horses under the hood, and a tuned suspension will have you rolling 30 millimeters lower to the ground via a set of Mansory-designed wheels. If you want to know more, check out the press release after the jump. If you think you’re ready to lay eyes on it, there’s a gallery of high-res photos below.

Karting in Gran Turismo 5 – Click above to watch video after the jump

Despite our best efforts, we’re getting pretty excited about the arrival of Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo 5. After suffering through years of the company (and the interwebs at large) crying wolf with launch dates, it appears as if we may finally have the game in our hands by the end of this year. There’s also some word that the release will coincide with the second coming of various deities. By now, chances are you’ve heard all about the new race modes available with the next chapter in the simulator franchise, including the addition of NASCAR, but here’s one that took us by surprise.

A video has just recently cropped up on YouTube showing what appears to be a kart race in GT5. We haven’t heard one way or the other whether we’ll be able to slide a shifter through the corners of our favorite Gran Turismo tracks or if this was just some sort of one-off ditty built for a demonstration. That doesn’t stop us from hoping for the former, though. Hit the jump to see the video for yourself.
