Maserati GranCabrio

Vehicle Overview

The Maserati GranCabrio (or GranTurismo Convertible) is the convertible version of the GranTurismo S Automatic, equipped with a canvas folding roof. The GranCabrio retains the four seat configuration of the GranTurismo coupé, and is thus Maserati’s first ever four-seater convertible. The GranCabrio was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, with production beginning in 2010. Designed by Pininfarina, it was 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 Maserati GranCabrio is powered by the same 4.7-litre V8 engine (rated at 440 PS (324 kW; 434 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 490 N⋅m (361 lb⋅ft) at 4,750 rpm) that is fitted to the GranTurismo S Automatic. It is the heir of the 2002 Maserati Spyder.
