Maserati shows GranCabrio Trofeo with twin turbo V6

It’s no surprise that the roofless version of the new Maserati GranTurismo is called the ‘GranCabrio’. It’s also no surprise that the conversion looks great. According to the car brand, the GranCabrio is ‘100 per cent built in Italy’ and this Maserati is ‘ideal for traveling with company or alone with the wind in your hair’.

Still, you prefer to travel alone or with a maximum of one passenger. An optional windshield can direct air and ensure less turbulence. You can only turn it on when the back seat is empty. Aerodynamics will come into their own with the windshield. Neck heating in three different settings is common.

Details of the Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo

On top, the GranCabrio Trofeo you see above, Maserati puts a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 called the Nettuno – which you remember from the MC20 – that produces 542 hp and hopefully a lot of noise. The sound reaches your ears best after 14 seconds. That’s how long it takes for the top of the line to disappear into the trunk at a maximum speed of 50 km / h.

Of course, the V6 sends its power to the rear wheels, but Maserati is keeping the details of what performance this provides a secret for now. Maserati is also yet to reveal any other information about the interior, pricing or delivery. You can also order a GranTurismo wrapped as a fully electric, 750 hp Folgore. Maserati has not yet revealed if there will be a GranCabrio Folgore. But still: if you choose an open GT, you go for the version with a combustion engine, right?
