2012 Maserati GranCabrio Sport: UK Prices

The Italian luxury car manufacturer announced the final price for its new Maserati Gran Cabrio Sport – £102,615 on the road. The first right-hand drive vehicles will reach UK clients in October 2011.

The 2012 Maserati GranCabrio Sport was officially unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow earlier this year and it was received with great enthusiasm by clients and media alike.

The Pininfarina designed four seater convertible is now powered by a more powerful and fuel-efficient version of Maserati’s all-alloy 4.7-litre V8. This configuration of the naturally aspirated engine produces 331 kW (450 HP) and a maximum torque of 510Nm at 4750 rpm.

This new model’s ZF six-speed automatic transmission includes the super-fast MC Auto Shift software and this way GranCabrio Sport can reach a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph) and the 0-100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) sprint is now reduced to 5.2s.

It also features a Skyhook active-suspension system, which has been revised to grant a sportier feel and so has the braking system which features grooved and drilled dual-cast brake discs. A revised exhaust system is also included in the mechanical changes. This system automatically opens its bypass valves in Sport mode to provide an even richer sound.

Of course a new car can’t come without a new body colour. This one comes in Rosso Trionfale, a rich metallic red inspired by the Italian national colour used on 1950s racing Maseratis.

At the interior, now are available two new leather colours for the new M-design seats: Bianco Pregiato, a brilliant ivory shade; and Grigio Chrono, a sporty, dark tone of grey.
