Maserati is famous for designing magnificent automobiles with exclusive performance at somewhat less than stratospheric prices when compared to Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley. To own a Maserati is to possess a piece of Italy. Each vehicle is a work of art, perfectly sculpted lines stretched over a taunt canvas of metal.If you were to ask a Maserati owner, or potential buyer, what one vehicle they crave, the answer is most likely a cabriolet. Driving a Maserati can only be improved by steering and applying the accelerator and brakes pedals while wind blows through your hair.
In answer to this need within the niche market of exotic sports cars, the automaker will introduce the 2010 Maserati GranCabrio in Frankfurt. This will complete the third prong in the Trident symbol, offering a product line that includes Quattroporte, GranTurismo and now GranCabrio.
What makes this a first for Maserati is the fact four people can sit comfortably in the confines of a luxurious, grand touring cabriolet. The 2010 Maserati GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 producing 433 horsepower. Featuring a canvas-only roof, more will be revealed as details emerge at the motor show.
