The Italian carmaker has whipped its sporty grand tourer‘s the top off. Meet the new-gen Maserati GranCabrio!
If the sensational Maserati MC20 Cielo is out of your budget or you want something less sporty, then meet the new-gen Maserati GranCabrio. Pictured here in flagship Trofeo trim, the new GranCabrio will be offered with a variety of powertrains, including an all-electric derivative called the Folgore.
The sultry-styled Maserati GranCabrio has a 2+2 seating arrangement and the Italian brand claims the fabric roof can be retracted in just 14 seconds at speeds of up to 50 kph. It’s available in five colours too. For additional comfort neck warmers for the driver and front passenger are standard.
Inside, the digital cockpit features 12.2-inch instrument cluster, 12.3-inch infotainment screen and an 8.8-inch touchscreen for the climate control. A Sonus Faber audio system with 13 speakers is standard, but customers can opt for a 16-speaker setup.
Pictured here is the Trofeo spec which comes with a more aggressive front, carbon fibre trim and black alloy wheels. Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 Nettuno petrol engine which makes 405 kW and 650 Nm, driving the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Maserati claims a 0-100 kph of 3.6 seconds, fractionally slower than the coupe due to the additional weight of the roof mechanism.
Maserati South Africa confirmed the new GranCabrio will touching down locally towards the end of the year.
