Maserati - GRAN TURISMO CONVERTIBLE - Brochure - 2022 - 2022

GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE 1 “I have raced and won in cars of all marques but I always had a special relationship with Maserati: not only were the cars safe, reliable and always absolutely technically avant-garde, but there was a very special friendship and atmosphere between myself and the marque. I felt completely at home.” —JUAN MANUEL FANGIO GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT IN ROSSO TRIONFALE MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE RANGE 3 THE MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE RANGE THREE CONVERTIBLES WITH OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND UNFORGETTABLE STYLE Maserati’s newest convertibles possess a unique style that is inherited from the family to which they belong: the GranTurismo range, four-seater cars of unparalleled elegance and performance, the perfect marriage of luxury and sport. The GranTurismo Convertible is a Maserati in the true grand touring tradition, and the first four-seat convertible in Maserati history. The GranTurismo Convertible delivers exhilarating performance, exclusive Pininfarina style and luxurious comfort. Like every convertible in the GranTurismo family, it is powered by a Maserati 4.7-liter V-8 engine that is at the heart of the quintessential Maserati driving experience. GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE IN GRIGIO GRANITO This range achieves more visceral expression with the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport, which incorporates a bold front fascia inspired by the GranTurismo MC, plus additional exterior and interior enhancements. It features a more powerful 4.7-liter V-8 engine for an even more exhilarating top-down driving experience. The exclusive Maserati GranTurismo Convertible MC takes style and purpose-built performance to the extreme. Inspired by the Maserati Corse racing department, it is the ultimate convertible GranTurismo; its creation owes much to Maserati’s successful Trofeo racing series. GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MC IN BIANCO ELDORADO 4 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE RANGE CONVERTIBLE STYLE: A MASERATI SIGNATURE UNMISTAKABLE THROUGHOUT GENERATIONS Every new Maserati convertible is styled to be a unique symbol of prestige. The lines, curves and contours of this generation reflect the inimitable design that has distinguished the marque since its inception. With their decisive personality and blend of power and elegance, the Maserati GranTurismo convertibles are modern-day masterpieces. Their style and design combine muscular lines and functional forms. Inspired by the Maserati Birdcage 75th concept car, the exterior has a powerful appearance, with a natural fluidity that starts at the front grille and extends all the way along the sides to the taillights. This stunning design, with careful attention paid to every detail and especially the contour of the convertible top, is the outcome of lengthy and meticulous aerodynamic studies. The wind tunnel, where the finishing touches were put on the GranTurismo’s lines, was a crucial stage in this Maserati’s development. OPTIONAL 20-INCH ASTRO DESIGN WHEELS IN SHINY ANTRACITE GREY 6 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE RANGE THE SOFT TOP A DECISIVE STYLISTIC COMPONENT Transforming the acclaimed GranTurismo coupé into an uncompromising convertible presented Maserati designers with a daunting task: to maintain the GranTurismo’s award-winning design with an unbroken side profile every bit as fluid and elegant as its coupé counterpart. By selecting a quick-retracting, multilayer soft top, Maserati designers maintained functionality, space and lightweight requirements. The complete soft-top system weighs a mere 143 lbs, maintaining the excellent low center of gravity with the top open or stowed. Composed of five steel-and-aluminum frames, which firmly support the soft top even up to the impressive top speed of each GranTurismo convertible model, the top has been designed for allseason functionality. Using an integrated, tempered thermal glass rear window, which makes the car drivable in all seasons, the three-layer top helps isolate the passenger compartment from exterior weather and noise, while providing the comfortable environment worthy of a Maserati. A wide variety of exterior roof colors is complemented by three available headliners. 8 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE A TRUE FOUR-SEAT CONVERTIBLE GT The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is the f irst four-seat convertible in Maserati’s history and represents the latest generation of Maserati’s renowned convertibles, which started with the 1950 A6G Frua spyder. The GranTurismo Convertible is the purest expression of Maserati open-air driving, with unmistakable design and a spacious interior, perfectly combining driving performance and pleasure. The four-seat GranTurismo Convertible combines the comfort, quiet and safety of the GranTurismo coupé with the excitement of top-down motoring unique to Maserati. Its 444 hp, 4.7-liter V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission with standard paddle shifters deliver thoroughbred performance and an unmistakable Maserati exhaust note. The GranTurismo Convertible is a masterpiece of design, with a soft top that precisely maintains the coupe’s smooth and dynamic roofline. As functional as it is beautiful, the three-layer top retracts fully in 24 seconds, leaving the trunk capacity unchanged with the roof open or closed. GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE BIANCO PREGIATO / BORDEAUX LEATHER INTERIOR MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE TOP-DOWN DRIVING IN THE GRAND TOURING TRADITION For daily or long-distance drives, comfort is just as important as power. In addition to performance, the Maserati GranTurismo convertibles offer the highest level of comfort, making extended road trips a true pleasure. And unlike most sports cars, all GranTurismo convertibles have proper seating for four adult occupants, allowing you to share those journeys with others. This spacious seating allows plenty of room to stretch one’s legs, relax and enjoy the ride in a beautiful interior finished in fine Italian leather or optional Alcantara®. Access to the rear seats is simple, thanks to the Easy Entry system on both driver and passenger sides: the front seats move forward electronically, giving ample room to enter or exit the second row of seats. There are two individualized seats for those sitting in the back, with the same sporty profile as the front seats and well suited for two adults. Comfort in back is enhanced by the center pull-down armrest and two climate-control vents. Further attention is paid to rear-seat passengers with two cup holders located on the back of the center console, courtesy lights and side pockets for storage. 11 12 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT THE NEW FACE OF PERFORMANCE Sportiness and elegance have been redefined with the creation of the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport, Maserati’s more powerful version of its renowned convertible, which offers increased performance with aerodynamic restyling. This vehicle’s arresting presence has been further refined to satisfy the most discerning and enthusiastic drivers. The car’s muscular lines and aggressive profile attract immediate attention. Notable features include an innovative and functionally designed front bumper and new headlights with Daytime Running Light (DRL) LED technology, while the rear is characterized by LED taillights in an elegant, more aggressive and darker tone. The GranTurismo Convertible Sport redefines the top of its class in appearance and performance. GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT A TRANSFORMATIVE DRIVING EXPERIENCE The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport is a car created to deliver an unbeatable combination of comfort, safety, style and dynamism. This complete vehicle is built around the Maserati heart: a 4.7-liter V-8 engine uprated to 454 hp. Realizing exhilarating performance from its competition-proven design is easy; the standard MC Auto Shift transmission programming provides shifting in 200 milliseconds, while the specifically tuned Skyhook adaptive suspension enables the sharpest handling and most rewarding driving experience. With the ‘Sport’ button activated, the car undergoes a driving transformation with an adaptive sport damping system and a revised throttle, as well as increased Maserati Stability Program limits and the deep and powerful exhaust sound—fully unleashed. The sporty and luxurious interior makes each journey an immensely fulfilling experience. The redesigned seats, steering wheel and cabin details are the result of extensive ergonomic research, where everything the driver needs is within easy reach. For the driver, the GranTurismo Convertible Sport reveals its true spirit as the road becomes more challenging; it is at the highest handling limits that the GranTurismo Convertible Sport reveals its unmistakable sporting character. 15 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT A BREATHTAKING CONVERTIBLE The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport has been hailed as one of the most dazzling convertibles ever built, thanks to its beautifully proportioned, stylish and seductive lines. The front of the car immediately draws the viewer’s attention, where Maserati’s traditional oval grille takes pride of place. At the center is the classic red-pronged Trident, a distinct detail that is featured only on Maserati’s sportiest models. The innovative front styling of the GranTurismo Convertible Sport is also fully functional, with design that optimizes airflow for engine and brake cooling. The standard xenon headlamps are completely redesigned, now incorporating bright LED technology for Daytime Running Light (DRL) operation, improving visibility and appearance. The GranTurismo Convertible Sport is also equipped with standard front and rear parking sensors. Aggressive, dark-tinted rear tail lamps improve the visibility and safety provided by 96 LED lights, giving the GranTurismo Convertible Sport an even more dynamic look. Standard 20-inch Astro Design alloy wheels add to the overall sporting appearance, while concealing standard-equipped high-performance drilled and slotted rotors and Brembo brake calipers, now available in an array of colors—including standard red and the optional new blue anodized finish.* *Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles, can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires. 17 18 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE SPORT ONE DRIVER’S SEAT, FOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCES Sportiness with comfort and luxury are the primary impressions defined by the new Maserati GranTurismo convertibles. The elegant, sporty cabin is the result of thorough ergonomic research with careful attention paid to the smallest details. Only the finest materials—fitted by craftsmen—are installed in these new Maseratis. In the GranTurismo Convertible Sport, drivers will notice the newly designed front seats with integrated headrests and steering wheel featuring standard Trofeo Design gearshift paddles. The steering wheel grip has been enhanced to make it easier to handle, especially during the most spirited driving. Standard sport pedals, finished in MC Sport Line aluminum, are designed to improve the driving feel. BIANCO PREGIATO LEATHER / NERO ALCANTARA INTERIOR GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MC MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MC GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MC RACE-INSPIRED LUXURY The exclusive Maserati GranTurismo Convertible MC reflects the pinnacle of Maserati’s knowledge— a road car with racing genes and with the unmistakable style of the GranTurismo MC, an automobile renowned for its performance, design and comfort. Powered by a naturally aspirated 454 hp V-8 engine, the GranTurismo Convertible MC is honed to a sharper edge. It is a car with the sporting heritage of Maserati Corse, the factory racing department, whose name it wears with pride­— a symbol of adrenaline, competition and continuous development. On one hand is the Maserati heritage of Italian craftsmanship and attention to detail. On the other is technology tried and tested on the track for unbeatable performance. Readily apparent is the GranTurismo Convertible MC’s hand-finished metal bodywork, including front fenders that feature functional ducting, a revised aluminum hood and an aggressive front fascia, all sculpted for improved aerodynamic efficiency and derived from Maserati’s Trofeo racing program. While its streamlined bodywork is the perfect solution to the combined demands of aerodynamics and aesthetics, the interior perfectly combines luxury with performance, featuring race-inspired materials like Alcantara® and carbon fiber. This is the synergy that has given birth to Maserati’s fastest, lightest and most powerful convertible ever. Availability of the GranTurismo Convertible MC is strictly limited. 21 22 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MC BEARING THE MARK OF MASERATI CORSE Inspired directly by the Maserati Corse racing program, the streamlined styling of the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible MC makes a unique aesthetic statement, while expressing its ability for the highest performance. Maserati’s experience in racing and computational fluid dynamics have led to the design of an aerodynamic envelope with 25% more downforce at the front and 50% more at the rear at 125 mph compared to the original GranTurismo Convertible. In particular, the front spoiler, side skirts and slotted front fenders combine to push the front of the car down at high speeds, cool the brakes and extract hot air from the brake circuits. The side skirts have been designed to integrate with the vents to channel airflow under the car body, thus further increasing downforce. The car’s highly sophisticated aerodynamics include two outlets on the hood to cool the engine compartment. The rear bumper has been redesigned for centrally located exhausts, and the extractor profile is designed to promote efficient airflow from under the body. These apertures further stabilize the airflow behind the car, thus increasing aerodynamic efficiency. Finally, the rear spoiler produces additional downforce at high speeds. The wheels are equally sophisticated: the 20-inch flow-formed rims of the GranTurismo Convertible MC are not only lighter, but also bear the unmistakable Trident symbol on their double spokes—another statement of Maserati tradition.* *Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles, can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires. NERO LEATHER / NERO ALCANTARA INTERIOR WITH CONTRASTING WHITE STITCHING MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE MC A COCKPIT THAT HONES YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE The unique design of the new Maserati GranTurismo Convertible MC is fully expressed in the interior, with numerous details combined to create an environment of racebred excitement: the newly designed seats, the combination of leather and optional Alcantara upholstery and the competition-inspired instrument panel and dashboard layout. Carbon fiber trim, including the sport steering wheel and door panel inserts, is available at no charge. The front sport seats with integrated headrests—shared with the GranTurismo Convertible Sport—have been newly designed to make them more comfortable while also providing better support for the driver and front passenger, especially under acceleration and cornering. A distinctive pass through, finished in all-new Ecochrome, is located under the front headrests for a more sporting appearance. Comfort for rear-seat passengers is further enhanced with increased legroom and a more comfortable backrest. Beyond the standard array of interior leather colors, the seats in the GranTurismo Convertible MC can be finished with a contrasting stitching for an even more unique look. 25 26 MASERATI TECHNOLOGY Engine TECHNOLOGY’S CUTTING EDGE AN ENGINE OF REFINED POWER AND PERFORMANCE Maserati is the marque with the unique reputation in motorsport of consistently managing to produce distinctive motorcars combining innovative, high-performing engines with a chassis that has ideal balance—each essential parts of Maserati’s DNA. All three cars in the Maserati GranTurismo convertible range share a 4.7-liter V-8 engine, a highrevving powerplant with a redline of 7,200 rpm. The 444 hp engine in the GranTurismo Convertible provides the smooth performance needed for everyday use, while revealing an unmistakable sporting character on the open road. Both the GranTurismo Convertible Sport and the GranTurismo Convertible MC develop even more power, with 454 hp on tap. Every Maserati powerplant benefits from a special Diamond Like Coating (DLC) on the camshaft lobes and tappets, which substantially reduces internal engine friction. The car boasts wet-sump lubrication with special fluid dynamics optimized to reduce loading and to deliver power smoothly up to maximum output. Peak torque has been increased to 376 ft-lb and 384 ft-lb respectively, with most of it available throughout the rev range to deliver exhilarating acceleration accross the powerboard. The engine responds instantly to accelerator pedal movement, and it adapts to modify how it responds based on driving conditions: from controlled application in urban settings, to powerful and dynamic performance on the open road. It all comes down to the driver; if the ‘Sport’ button is activated, the suspension and gear changes are set to maximum performance calibrations, the exhaust valves open up and the engine takes on an aggressive, deep and exciting tone that symbolizes Maserati’s competitive nature. The engine makes driving every GranTurismo convertible a memorable experience, wherever the road leads. 28 MASERATI TECHNOLOGY Chassis & Transmission INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE Once you have sampled the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, GranTurismo Convertible Sport or GranTurismo Convertible MC, performance driving will take on a whole new meaning. This is the result of Maserati engineers modifying the engine, transmission and suspension to produce a convertible that has a near-perfect weight balance: with the top closed, 49% of the weight is carried up front while 51% is carried in the rear. This desirable weight distribution is achieved by locating the compact V-8 engine behind the front axle, establishing an ideal front-mid position that places mass more toward the center of the platform and not biased toward the front end of the car. Directly behind the powerplant is the automatic gearbox, driving the limitedslip rear differential and rear wheels through a two-piece driveshaft. The result is a car that exhibits sure and responsive handling on the most challenging roads, while exhibiting neutral, well-balanced steering feedback, predictable handling characteristics and utmost control under a variety of road conditions. MASERATI’S QUICKEST, SMOOTHEST AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION To fully exploit all the power of the new Maserati 4.7-liter V-8 engine, the Maserati GranTurismo convertible range is equipped with a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission. This gearbox has been uprated to deliver the fastest, most seamless upshifts and perfect, rev-matched downshifts unequalled by any manual transmission. It provides easier access to the full rev range and delivers more immediate throttle response, complementing the vehicle’s dynamics. There are two operating modes: Manual and Auto. Manual mode provides a thrilling driving experience; gearshifts occur at the driver’s request using racing-style paddles integrated on the steering column. In Auto mode—ideally suited for highway driving—the system optimizes gear changes based on driving input. To enhance shifting performance further still, the new GranTurismo Convertible Sport is equipped with a specially programmed software system from the GranTurismo Convertible MC called MC Auto Shift. MC Auto Shift features gear-holding in Manual mode, smoother and faster 200-millisecond shift times, double-declutch downshifts and a digital rpm indicator. 29 30 MASERATI TECHNOLOGY Driving NOTHING HANDLES LIKE A MASERATI The double-wishbone suspension of the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible and GranTurismo Convertible Sport is controlled by the Sport Skyhook system that uses new, variable dampers that continually adjust to road conditions. Thus, the driving experience becomes more responsive, while improving comfort for all passengers. Pushing the ‘Sport’ button alters the Maserati Stability Program (MSP) and the car becomes more responsive, while continuing to absorb irregularities in the road. For the GranTurismo Convertible MC, the coil-over suspension has been developed for optimal handling and driving pleasure. Its standard single-rate dampers are stiffer, and the GranTurismo Convertible MC includes larger-diameter roll bars that minimize lateral load shifts (roll angle: -20%); overall, the car’s rigidity is increased from the previous model by 16% at the front and 32% at the rear. The setup is combined with a special MSP calibration, which gives the driver greater freedom to experience the car’s high limits. Maserati’s acclaimed Skyhook adaptive suspension is available as an option. The brakes on the new GranTurismo convertibles make the most of the Brembo dual-cast technology, which is combined with six-piston monoblock calipers up front and four-piston calipers in the rear. The drilled and slotted rotors are crafted from cast iron and aluminum, resulting in a 20% weight reduction that provides a more comfortable ride, reduces unsprung weight and reduces wear. MASERATI TECHNOLOGY Safety MASERATI VEHICLES ARE BUILT TO A HIGHER STANDARD In terms of active safety, the Maserati Stability Program (MSP) has been designed to maintain the vehicle’s overall stability under a variety of conditions. This system works in harmony with Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control and anti-lock brakes (ABS), to stop the wheels from locking under hard braking, enhanced by Hydraulic Braking Assistance (HBA). When it comes to seeing and being seen, the GranTurismo Convertible Sport and GranTurismo Convertible MC employ bi-xenon gas discharge headlights with integrated washers to provide superb visibility at night. The Adaptive Light Control system, a mechanism that makes the headlights turn in the direction of the car when driving around curves, improves illumination of the road and surrounding areas to optimize the driver’s view of the road ahead. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system illuminates a series of LEDs during the day to enhance the vehicle’s visibility. A sensor automatically activates the headlights to complete the innovative lighting package. The GranTurismo Convertible Sport benefits from front parking sensors that come standard. The sensors can identify the most hazardous objects, preventing costly damage to the front bumper. All cars are fitted with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors and displays individual tire pressures. As an added safety feature, the TPMS illuminates a low tire pressure warning light when one (or more) of the tires is significantly underinflated. A series of airbags is employed as fundamental elements in passive safety. These are improved with dual-stage technology up front and new-generation airbags for passengers. Together with the curtain airbags, side airbags provide excellent crash protection. An automatic telescopic roll bar system is located behind the rear seats and remains concealed by the tonneau cover, until activated as necessary with a response time of less than 190 milliseconds. The airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is responsible for detecting and responding to dangerous situations such as potential rollover conditions. 33 34 MASERATI GRANTURISMO CONVERTIBLE RANGE Configurator ONLINE CONFIGURATOR The Maserati website lets users browse every aspect of the Maserati world at ease, providing multimedia content, historical information, a search function for Maserati cars within the Authorized Maserati Dealer network, and the futuristic car conf igurator.
