Maserati Grancabrio First Pictures!



Maserati finally unveiled its Gran Turismo open top today, sporting the same 4.7 liter V8 that produces 440hp, this will be Maserati's ever first cabriolet 4 seater. Despite common cabriolet's attempts on fake rear seats, Maserati claims rear passengers need not entirely be Richard Hammond, instead James May could fit in comfortably as well. I'm thinking Clarkson.

One surprising and disappointing fact is that Maserati chose to name it GranCabrio, instead of just dubbing it more subtly with a denotation 'C' added. Anyhow, more info will be made available following this unveiling. Most importantly, did Maserati ditched the hardtop halfway into development? Cos contrary to the previous spied junkyard Maser, this is a soft top.

Beautiful, of course, now where's my Quattroporte Wagon?
