Maserati GranTurismo




The GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible in the U.S.) is a convertible version of GranTurismo S Automatic, equipped with a canvas roof. The GranCabrio retains the 2+2 seating configuration of the coupé GranTurismo, and is thus Maserati's first four-seater convertible.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, with production beginning in 2010. The vehicle is built in the Viale Ciro Menotti Maserati factory. European sales were to begin in February 2010, with the United States receiving its first cars a month later. Planned sales for 2010 were 2,100 units, of which two thirds were intended to go stateside.
The GranCabrio is powered by the same 4.7-litre V8 engine (440 PS/324 kW; 434 bhp at 7,000 rpm, 490 N·m/361 lb·ft at 4,750 rpm) that is fitted to the GranTurismo S Automatic.

At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show Maserati unveiled a new version of the GranCabrio, with an enhanced level of performance and handling. This version also has the 4.7-litre V8, coupled with the ZF six-speed automatic transmission and fitted with the slightly uprated 450 PS/331 kW; 444 bhp version of the V8 engine, with 510 N·m (380 lb·ft) torque.To hint at the car's more sporting nature, the headlights have black surrounds and other details such as the bars in the grille are also finished in black. There are also larger sideskirts as well as tiny winglets on the lower front corners.
