The first new Maserati GranCabrio in a surprisingly long time has appeared, very nearly five years after the formation of the past model wrapped up.
The 2024 Maserati GranCabrio sports vehicle has been uncovered – something like a half-year stalled amidst a line of Maserati new-model deferments – before European presentation region appearances not long from now.
The GranCabrio is the convertible type of the new GranTurismo roadster shown eighteen months back, and is the main all-new model in a really long time, gave twin-super V6 petrol power at ship off, before a sensible electric version to follow.
The previous-age GranCabrio – one of the last Maseratis with non-super Ferrari V8 power – has been out of creation since late 2019. By then, before the pandemic, the new model was needed to ship off in 2022.
Drive reported in October 2022 that the new, four-seat GranCabrio was normal inside the next year – by October 2023 – but it has quite recently been unveiled. Australian appearance timing is yet to be certified.
The GranCabrio fluctuates from its roadster family with a sensitive top roof available in five tones – dim, blue, faint, ‘greige’, and garnet red – purported to be prepared for opening in 14 seconds, and closing in 16 seconds, at speeds of up to 50km/h.
The housetop is controlled through a menu on the touchscreen, and it in like manner consolidates a neck more sizzling – which does what it says, using air vents in the seats – notwithstanding an imploding ‘wind plug’ which can be fitted when the secondary lounges are not being utilized.
The vehicle’s arrangement is by and large undefined from its vehicle family, which is a progression of the past model following as far as possible back to 2007.
Filling the GranCabrio at first is a 3.0-liter twin-super petrol ‘Nettuno’ V6 engine made by Maserati, which in Trofeo trim makes 399kW and 650Nm.

An electric Folgore model is presumably going to follow later, as well as areas of strength for fewer structures.
Standard in the Trofeo is flexible air suspension, 380mm six-chamber front and 350mm four-chamber back brakes, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, an electronic “self-locking” back differential, and a central vehicle components PC declared to give faster robustness control responses.
There are four drive modes – Comfort, GT, Game, and Corsa – notwithstanding a full ESC Off setting which switches off all drivers making a difference.
Maserati says the vehicle and convertible were arranged in equivalent – starting around 2017 – and claims a 100kg extension in weight for the GranCabrio over the GranTurismo.
Inside, there is a comparable 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, 8.8-inch climate control show, and 12.2-inch modernized instrument bunch, with far-off Mac CarPlay and Android Auto.
