Maserati GranCabrio White

The GranCabrio is fitted with intelligent airbags which adapt their inflation speed to the crash situation and size of the occupants. Head and chest airbags protect from side airbags and there are pre-tensioners for the seatbelts. Extendable roll bars located behind the rear seats extend in 190 milliseconds should the car turn over. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Maserati Stability Programme (MSP) are fitted as standard. The rev-happy 4.7-litre V8 couldn’t be more different from the low-revving surge from the Jaguar V8 and Bentley 6-litre W12. Because of this the Maserati can feel slightly slower than its on-paper statistics suggest. Work it hard though, and the performance is there – with a particularly rousing soundtrack to back up its 440bhp. Zero to 62mph takes around 5.3 seconds. Choose the GranCabrio Sport and you get an extra 10bhp, increasing performance slightly.
