The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sports boost a 4.7L V8 engines and
delivers 444 hp at 7,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 376 lb-ft at
4,750 rpm. The engine noise varies depending on whether the exhaust
bypass valves are open or closed and it defines the vehicle’s
performance set by its driver. Important technical improvements have
been introduced in the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport compare
to its predecessors, such as an upgraded sport skyhook adaptive
suspension system which is standard and features aluminum dampers that
continuously adjust the ride to the road conditions. The model boosts
exclusive powerful dual-cast technology Brembo brakes. The four discs
are grooved and ventilated to cope with more determined driving. The
six-speed automatic transmission operates in five modes: auto normal,
auto sport, manual normal, manual sport and ice. MC Auto Shift is
automatically activated when the Auto Sport mode is selected, enabling
the car to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds.
The driver has the option to manually control the transmission thru the “Trofeo Design” shift paddled mounted on the steering wheel, which are slightly longer than in the previous models to further facilitate changing gears. The accelerator mapping has improved for better throttle response and the MC Start Strategy, which derives from the GranTurismo MC, has been introduced to optimize acceleration. The
Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport features a new Maserati
Stability Program (MSP) calibration that allows driver to push the car
to its limit within the bounds of safety.
The first service is at 12,500 miles or after two year and subsequently every 25,000 miles. A transferable four years/50,000 mile new car limited warranty with 24/7 roadside assistance.
