Maserati GranCabrio unveiled
Maserati has released the first official images of their highly anticipated GranCabrio.
Essentially a convertible version of the sexy GranTurismo coupe, the new GranCabrio is the first four-seat convertible in Maserati's history. The beautiful Pininfarina styling carries over, while a new canvas roof provides open-air enjoyment. According to Maserati, "The GranCabrio enriches all five senses in a shared open-air experience, without sacrificing comfort and performance."
Featuring the longest wheelbase on the market, the GranCabrio should offer plenty of rear legroom. While official specifications are still pending, Maserati says "rear passengers are not merely supporting actors, but co-stars of the journey."
The only confirmed engine is the 323 kW (440 bhp) 4.7-liter V8 from the GranTurismo S, but an entry-level 4.2-liter V8 (with 405 bhp) may be offered in the future.
The Maserati GranCabrio will be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with sales starting in spring 2010.

I prefer the copue, but this is a very nice alternative to the Ferrari California. I would have liked to see some pictures of the car with the top up. I wonder if there will be several options on roof color?
I'm not liking it.
For the coupe, the slope of the hood-to-roof is very elegant and windswept.
For the cabrio, the slope of the hood-to-shoulder is very flat and undynamic.
Seems boring and long compared to the coupe...
