Novitec Shows Supercharged GranCabrio MC

The new GranCabrio MC is the sportiest drop-top Maserati ever. NOVITEC TRIDENTE, the world’s leading refinement specialist for the automobiles bearing the trident, further builds on these talents with a sophisticated customization program: the NOVITEC TRIDENTE supercharged engine producing 475 kW / 646 hp of power and a peak torque of 624 Nm gives the drop-top 2+2 seater a top speed in excess of 305 km/h. The program also includes high-tech forged wheels, a hydraulically height-adjustable coil-over suspension and exclusive interior options.

Following the tried and proven NOVITEC TRIDENTE tradition, a supercharger conversion in the Maserati GranCabrio MC provides outstanding performance paired with durability and everyday suitability beyond reproach.

The 4.7-liter eight-cylinder four-valve V8 engine drives the mechanical supercharger via a V-ribbed belt. The maximum boost pressure is limited to 0.43 bar. To keep the temperature of the charge air as cool as possible, the NOVITEC TRIDENTE supercharger system has a water-cooled intercooler whose ideal operating temperature is ensured by a separate cooling circuit with two heat exchangers.

The conversion, which sells for 23,900 euros, also includes a more voluminous intake manifold, larger injectors and newly calibrated mapping for the engine electronics. The new mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the combined effects of the NOVITEC TRIDENTE high-performance components to perfection. The result is an outstanding power yield with an immensely potent and extremely linear power curve.
