Maserati GranTurismo Spyder

Maserati's first four-seat convertible is every bit as beautiful as we'd hoped. Fitted with a fabric roof – instead opf a folding metal roof as first thought - power comes from a 433bhp version of Maserati’s new 4.7-litre V8 engine.

The six-speed ZF semi-auto gearbox will be equipped with the firm’s own ‘MC-Shift’ technology to improve performance, and can switch between ratios in only 100 milliseconds, while it takes just 5.4 seconds to accelerate from 0-62mph - and with the roof up it will reach 177mph.
