Presented in October 2022, the Maserati Granturismo grand touring coupe will soon be entitled to its GranCabrio version.
The elegance of the line does not suffer in any way from the removal of the roof in favor of a canvas hood which retracts into its housing in 14 seconds, even when driving up to 50 km/h.
The electrical operation is carried out via a button located on the central console but also by swiping the central screen to the right with a finger.
The same operation to the left allows the convertible top to be closed.

To ensure perfect comfort with the wind blowing in the wind, the front seat backs can incorporate a neck warmer.
Driving in the open air can be supplemented by an anti-eddy net that can be stored in the trunk.
From the coupe from which it derives, the GranCabrio inherits a design made from lightweight materials.
More than 65% of the car is made of aluminum.
Despite the structural reinforcements induced by the transition to the convertible architecture, the engineers managed to limit the weight gain to 100 kilos compared to the coupe.
Like the Granturismo, the Maserati convertible is initially offered in the Trofeo version with the 550-horsepower Nettuno biturbo V6.
This mechanism is distinguished by its pre-chamber system from Formula 1. The driver has four driving modes that can be activated from a rotary control on the steering wheel: Comfort, GT, Sport and Corsa.
Like the coupe, this 4.96 m convertible should be available in a 100% electric Folgore version.
The first examples of the GranCabrio should appear next summer.
