Maserati GranCabrio Sport

Feast your eyes on the most powerful Maserati convertible yet. The new GranCabrio Sport is due to be presented in just a couple of weeks' time at the Geneva Motor Show.

While the standard GranCabrio (also known as the GranTurismo Convertible) packs the same 434-horsepower, 4.7-liter V8 as the GranTurismo S coupe, the GranCabrio Sport offers 450. The six-speed automatic transmission has been recalibrated, the brakes upgraded and the styling tweaked for an even meaner look.

This is the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible. It's arguably the most desirable four-seat convertible on the market, and the first one to come out of Italy in decades. It's been engineered with input from Ferrari, has room to carry you and three of your friends for one of the best wind-in-your-hair experiences available. You may want one, but you can't have one. Because they're sold out.

The model – also known as the GranCabrio overseas – has helped Maserati rebound to pre-recession sales levels in the United States, while the GranTurismo coupe and Quattroporte sedan have failed to recovered. The new convertible, with its myriad customization choices, has proven so popular that there's now a waiting list to get your hands on one. That's what we'd call a success.
