2011 Maserati GranCabrio Sport

Chris — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:18:39 +0000

One of the most beautiful roadsters ever created gets a power boost in 2011 with the GranCabrio Sport. The 4.7 liter V8 now produces 450hp and 376 lb-ft. of torque while improving fuel efficiency by 6%. The 6 speed automatic transmission is now equipped with MC Auto Shift software providing optimised gearshift response. Top speed is now at 177mph.

The handling has received attention, too, with an upgrade and revision of the Skyhook active-suspension system – now with a sportier tuning – and the adoption of grooved and drilled dual-cast brake discs.

Visually, the GranCabrio Sport is characterised by a more-pronounced dynamic look. This look begins at the GranCabrio's distinctive nose with a black grille and a Trident with red accents. The headlights now have a black look with white sidemarks, while front corner splitters and the redesigned side skirts are both body coloured.

Maserati's new road-going Grand Tourer can easily be confused with a full fledged race car. The 0-60 of 3.7 seconds and top speed of 205 MPH also help complete the illusion. Unlike a race car, the MC12 drives smoothly and pleasantly and the top can easily be removed for open-air driving. The 630 HP Ferrari N/A V12 is designed for everyday driving with peak torque coming at 5500 RPM. The six-speed Maserati Cambiocorsa transmission offers computerized gear selection and is clutchless allowing the driver to switch gears with paddles behind the steering wheel. The front of the car can be raised for speed bumps or parking ramps to avoid damage to the underbody. A GT racing version will also be developed.
