Spyder with ‘acoustic comfort’

An iconic Maserati is now available as a spyder with the all-new GranCabrio being an “equally elegant” open-top version of its coupe twin, the GranTurismo.

At launch, the convertible is available in Trofeo trim level and the six-cylinder internal combustion Nettuno engine – a three-litre twin-turbo with 404kW of power.

The roof of the GranCabrio, which is 100 per cent manufactured in Italy, is made of fabric to take up as little space as possible when automatically stored in the boot where it can be put away in 14 seconds at speeds up to 50kph. 

Ample space is also guaranteed for four passengers. The marque says the GranCabrio is “ideal for traveling with company or alone with the wind in your hair, savouring all the emotions of an outstanding drive and breathing in the most authentic Italian style”. 

The car’s “open-air experience” is enhanced by “remarkable” thermal and acoustic comfort, with the soft top available in five colours that can be operated from the central display via a touch button for complete control and autonomy.

An optional extra is the wind-stopper, which can be used with two passengers and folded manually. When the top is open, it reduces the formation of turbulence inside the passenger compartment.
