Maserati GranCabrio debuts for Frankfurt show

The Maserati GranCabrio convertible has debuted just before its public display at the upcoming 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Essentially nothing more than a GranTurismo with a chopped top, this is probably the most predictable car to be revealed at the auto show.

Powered by a carryover 433 hp 4.7-litre V8 mated to a 6-speed automatic, the Maserati GranCabrio features a folding cloth roof and seating for four.

Expect a UAE debut of the GCC-spec version by early 2010. For more info on the coupe, visit the Maserati GranTurismo buyer guide.
