MASERATI GranCabrio
Generations Timeline, Specs and Pictures
For 2018, the Maserati GranCabrio got a big refresh, receiving a more sharper design, better aerodynamics, and more interior amenities.
The GranCabrio range has been streamlined for 2018 and two well-defined versions will be offered – Sport and MC. The 4.2-litre engine has been discontinued, while the Sport and MC share the same powertrain and interior personalization packages. The most striking visual change comes from the new bumpers, grille, and headlights, while the interior gained a new infotainment system, modified dashboard, and standard Harman Kardon premium sound system.
Definitely a head turner, the new Maserati convertible was one of the most stunning cars on sale for 2010.
The sporty convertible offered seating for 4 with the 2+2 configuration and was more about luxury and power, rather than practicality.
The exterior design featured a huge grille, a wide hood with a low nose. Due to the hood, the GranCabrio was a long car.
The retractable soft top came with a variety of colors available to choose from.
The cabin was special, fitted with high quality materials and leather upholstery with elegant stitching. However, some of the materials used were scratchier than expected for an expensive model like the GranCabrio.
Utility was never one of its strong points and was never designed to be good in that area. The trunk size had only 170 liters, therefore the luggages would end up on the rear seats if necessary.
The long roof took around 28 seconds to close at speed of under 32 km/h.
The GranCabrio featured an adjustable suspension, with normal and Sport as settings. Obviously, the Sport mode stiffened the ride and made cornering even more fun.
The chassis became more flexible with the absence of a hard top, thus the handling became less precise than in the coupe version of the Maserati.
