2012 New GranCabrio MC Wallpapers

Maserati has not officially confirmed the powertrain, but since the GranCabrio MC looks identical to the GranTurismo MC, and will perform the same mission, it seems likely that the two cars will also be the same under the hood.That means buyers of the GranCabrio MC can expect a 4.7-liter V8 with 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, gains of 11 hp and 15 lb-ft over the current GranCabrio Sport.Since the GranTurismo MC is the top-of-the-line Maserati coupe, the GranCabrio MC will take on the same role inthe convertible lineup. With that in mind, buyers should expect a significant boost to the current convertible’s $139,700 base price. The 2012 GranTurismo MC hardtop starts at $143,850.
