Not quite sure what it is that you're looking at above? Fret not, neither does anyone else... save some engineering types at <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/maserati">Maserati</a>, of course. Sure, we can all recognize the shape of the beautiful <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/granturismo">GranTurismo</a>, but what's with the large rear spoiler? And, even more puzzlingly, why does this GT have twin exhaust outlets poking out high up on the rear fascia in lieu of the normal quad pipes at the corners?<br />
<br />
Back in April, Fiat unleashed its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/21/fiat-unveils-five-year-product-plan-we-dissect-in-detail/">five-year business plan</a>, and the Italian automaker promised to "maintain and sustain" its GranTurismo. At the time, we could only assume that meant more variants, but these spy photos only serve to muddy the waters further. What's more, this machine doesn't appear to be the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/03/geneva-2010-maserati-granturismo-mc-sport-sharpens-the-trident/">MC Sport</a> shown earlier this year in Geneva. That said, we're just going to assume this is an updated GranTurismo with a slightly hotter powertrain borrowed from corporate partner <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/ferrari">Ferrari</a>. See for yourself in our high-res image gallery below.<br />
