Maserati GranCabrio MC Officially Revealed
Maserati reveals its most hardcore soft-top to date, the 454bhp GranCabrio MC

Designed to complete Maserati’s open-top range, the new Maserati GranCabrio MC blends high performance and sports characteristics derived from racing experience with the style, charm and practicality of Maserati’s four seater convertible.

Inspired and encouraged by the considerable success of the GranTurismo MC Stradale, which was warmly received by customers thanks to a masterly translation and adaptation of racing characteristics for use on the road, the new GranCabrio MC has a highly sporty and aggressive look, while maintaining the strengths and characteristics of a true grand tourer, ideal for long journeys.

The car, 48 millimetres longer than the GranCabrio and GranCabrio Sport, is characterised by a front end which is inspired directly by the MC Stradale, adopting a profile designed to optimise the aerodynamic lift and flow. These differ from those on other versions of the GranCabrio due to the increased car length and other aerodynamic elements at the rear end.

The new Maserati GranCabrio MC will be powered by the same the 4.7-litre all-alloy V8 engine as its coupe counterpart, this engine delivers 331 kW at 7000rpm and, with 510Nm at 4750rpm.

The rear is characterised by the large spoiler, for greater negative lift at high speeds. Inside the spoiler, built into the luggage compartment, is the third brake light. The standard version comes in the same colour as the body and, within the various car customisation packages, it is also available with a carbon finish.

The bad news, only offered with the six-speed ZF automatic transmission. Ohhh Maserati why!

Oh God that looks so goooooood.

But no manual? BOO.

^^Not even a proper dual clutch a-la Ferrari system.

^They did good on the looks, but the transmission's an ultimate fail.

But...for photoshoots you don't need to worry about it! :lol:

The ZF transmission is an excellent transmission based on the daily driver and endurance aspect. I would love to see a manual offered as well as another edition of the Cambiocorsa.
