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.

Maserati's Ultimate GranTurismo MC Stradale in All its Glory

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Several years ago, Maserati built a racing car homologated for the road called the MC12. It was based on the Ferrari Enzo, and the racign version went on to win the FIA GT1 Championship several times. Not since then has the Trident marque had a car so extreme as the new GranTurismo MC Stradale.

We brought you initial news of the ultimate GranTurismo a couple of weeks ago as it hit the web, but Maserati has now released a slew of new photos, which we've uploaded into the high-resolution image gallery below for your enjoyment. The Modenese automaker has also launched a dedicated mini-site and online configurator where you can toy around with the car's various options and specifications, but be forewarned that it'll likely eat up the rest of your day.

Mansory's Maserati GranTurismo in Search of Wealthy Evil

Have you been looking for a new place to apply the word "lurid"? Mansory is here to answer the call. The self-styled "specialist for refining luxury automobiles" has had at it with the Maserati and GranTurismo S, and the black-striped redness you see above is the result. Carbon fiber does duty on spoilers and aprons in front and back, as well as the grille and trim for the new duct work.

There's are about 30 more horses under the hood, and a Mansory-tuned suspension will keep you rolling lower to the ground by 30 millimeters on Mansory-designed wheels exclusive to this car. It isn't for everyone, but there will be no doubt if it's for you: you have things like "Removed from the Garden of Eden" on your resume, one of your hobbies is pretending to be a serpent, and you have a bit of a fascination with fire.

Call your bank. Call your parents. Call in that fiver you lent to that guy at the bar. Because Maserati has just announced American pricing for their new GranTurismo Convertible, and you're going to need every penny you can scrape together.

Before taxes and other charges, the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the convertible (known as the GranCabrio overseas) comes in at $135,800. Compared to the GranTurismo S coupe, with whose 4.7-liter V8 engine the convertible comes standard, the premium for open-air cruising will set you back $14,300.

Maserati Launches Exclusive GranTurismo S Special Editions in Abu Dhabi

A stock Maserati may be special enough for most of us, but apparently not for the highly lucrative Middle East market. So to answer the call for exclusivity, the Trident marque has announced a new limited edition of its top-of-the-line GranTurismo S coupe.

Decked out in special matte white paint scheme and items from the company's bespoke MC Sport Line, Maserati will only make twelve examples of this special edition: one for each of its dealers in the region, simultaneously commemorating the twelve drivers', constructors' and teams' titles which the Maserati MC12 has accumulated in the FIA GT Championship.

A second run of 11 coupes, with pearl white paint, is planned for the Italian market as well. Unfortunately that's about the extent of the details Maserati has provided. If you have the means and live in the right place, we're sure your local dealership will be glad to provide more, and if you don't, well it's really not applicable anyway, so the rest of us can just sit back and stare.

Novitec Supercharges the Maserati GranTurismo to 600HP

If you bought a machine as close to perfection as a Maserati, would you try to improve upon it? We're not sure we would, but if we did, we'd be turning to Novitec. The German tuning house has a long history in modifying Ferraris, and since Maserati is Ferrari's sister company and borrows its engines from them, the Novitec's know-how is a natural fit. In this case, they've taken the GranTurismo S, in all its 435-horsepower glory, and given it even more power and exclusivity thanks to a supercharger and other modifications that bring the total power output up to an even more outstanding 600. Novitec Tridente, as their new Maserati division is called, also fitted 20-inch modular wheels up front and 21-inch rims in the back, which together with the carbon fiber aerodynamics kit gives the GranTurismo an even more menacing look.
