New Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale arrives early

The 2013 Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale – the drop-top version of the  GranTurismo MC Stradale - revealed ahead of Paris 2012.

The 2013 Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale falls in to the latter camp – Maserati hasn’t revealed the cabrio MC Stradale out in to the wild officially, but the photos have leaked on to the interwebs in Russia.

The new GranCabrio MC Stradale is almost certain to get the same levels of power and torque from the 4.7 litre V8 as the tin-top GranTurismo MC Stradale, which means 444bhp and 376lb/ft of torque delivers through Maserati’s MC Race Shift auto ‘box.

The performance of the GranCabrio MC Stradale is likely to be less impressive than that of the GranTurismo – which, thanks to less weight than the Sport model, is quicker – as the additional weight the RSJs bolted in to keep the front and back together with the roof chopped off will make up for the 11okg weight loss the GranTurismo MC enjoys.

Cosmetically, the GranCabrio MC Stradale gets some new alloys, redesigned bumpers – with a diffuser at the back – and air scoops on the bonnet.

Once Maserati gets its act together we’ll update with more details.
