Maserati tradition and technical heritage have always been hallmarks of cars recognized worldwide as masterpieces of style and performance. Maserati is proud to deliver models renewed for elegance, outstanding design that convey perfection in every detail providing owners a truly unique Maserati experience. The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, called GranCabrio in the other Countries with exception of the United States, is the first model of its type for the trident brand. It is the first convertible designed in the Maserati headquarters in Modena to have four comfortable seats without compromising the unique, exciting handling typical of the Maserati fleet.
Driving and travelling in a Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is an exclusive sensory experience: its powerful V8 engine with its unmistakably growl and wide range of custom options make every Maserati GT convertible the unique expression of its owner’s personality.
The model bears the distinctive Pininfarina mar: the imposing and dynamic front is interposed by headlamps whose lines are horizontally developed, perfectly blending into the form of the fenders. The grille is instead crowded by the renowned Trident symbol in chrome. The dynamism of the side view is accentuated by the short front overhangs as well as by the long bonnet whether the three air intakes with chrome profiles lighten the front fender. The side panels are decked with chrome details to increase the car distinctiveness while the overall side dynamics are also highlighted by the 20-inch alloy wheels. The rear of the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible emphasizes its sporty and highly technological nature: the triangular tail lights uses 96 LEDs ensuring immediate nighttime recognition, while the aerodynamic diffuser is framed by two pairs of large diameter chrome exhausts tailpipes. When the retractable roof is closed, the car has an elegant but decisively dynamic profile; the roof can then be opened in 24 seconds by one touch to the soft top control button. The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is a genuine four-seater enabling all four passengers to enjoy the experience of driving with the top down to the fullest. The rear seats are designed the same as the front ones, providing a welcoming and an automotive space as pleasurable for the passengers as it is for the driver. A multi-layer soft top has been selected for the GranTurismo Convertible, allowing a wide range of color combinations while maintaining functionality, space and light weight requirements. The complete soft top system weights a mere 143 lbs and maintains the car’s excellent low center of gravity either with the top open or stowed. |
