2013 Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale Revealed

Sep 29, 2012

Written by Nick S. (Superleggera)

We all know Maserati - a brand of speed, power, and luxury. Ever since the brand has been acquired by Ferrari, they have released cars that are some of the best of the best. For any of us who have seen a GranCabrio with our own eyes, we can confirm it really does look great. Now, there is a new version -

 

Introducing the 2013 GranCabrio MC Stradale.

Maserati tried keeping it a secret until the Paris Auto Show, but it didn't work. This new monster looks identical to the GranTurismo MC Stradale, only with the roof chopped off. The GranCabrio MC Stradale will produce a total of 460 BHP (which is 10 more horsepower than its coupe sister, the GranTurismo MC Stradale) from a 4.7L V8 with a peak torque of 383ft-lbs of torque at 4750 rpm. 

The performance of the new convertible version won't be quite as good as the GranTurismo MC Stradale’s 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds and top speed of 186 MPH due to its added weight, but it won't be too far off. The GranCabrio

MC will feature an automatic 6-speed ZF transmission and will run 0-60 in 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 179 MPH.

What do you think about this car? Love it or think it's useless? Let me know!

@supercar_spotter, The simplest way to use Imgur.com is to save the picture you want, save it to your computer, upload it to IMGUR.com and if the picture is over 640 px wide, click the box that says edit after you choose your photo, make it 640 px or smaller, then take the direct link and put it into this code:

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/2DIXm.jpg">;

Put the direct link in between the quotation marks and then paste it in your post where you want the picture. If anything doesn't make sense there, just ask :P
