Think of it as the GranTurismo’s more fun-loving, slightly rebellious sibling, swapping a hardtop for an elegant fabric roof that disappears at the push of a button. Maserati’s latest creation is here to remind us that driving isn’t just about getting from point A to point B, it’s also about looking good while doing it.

The GranCabrio arrives in the high-performance Trofeo trim, carrying a price tag of SGD 888,000 (excluding COE). Under the hood is a growling 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno engine, serving up a hefty 542hp.

That’s the kind of power that makes traffic lights feel more like launchpads, and highways feel like runways. It’s the car for those who like their drives with a side of adrenaline, all while turning heads at every corner.

And let’s talk about that soft top. Gone are the days of fiddling with roof latches or waiting ages to go topless (the car, of course). The GranCabrio’s fabric roof folds away in a cool 14 seconds—yes, even while you’re driving at up to 50 km/h.

Whether you’re taking a solo joyride or filling the four seats with friends, this convertible lets you bask in the sunshine, with the wind in your hair and the Nettuno engine purring like a contented tiger.

Of course, Maserati isn’t new to the open-top game. The GranCabrio pays tribute to the brand’s first road-going sports car, the 3500 GT, whose convertible version debuted back in 1959. Sixty-plus years later, Maserati is still proving that when it comes to luxury convertibles, they know exactly what they’re doing.

The GranCabrio is proudly 100% Italian-made, with every curve and detail oozing that unmistakable “la dolce vita” vibe.

Inside, the GranCabrio is just as suave as you’d expect. It’s not all about looking good, though—Maserati’s thought about comfort too. Need to stay toasty while cruising with the roof down? No problem. There’s a built-in neck warmer with three levels of cosy heat, so you can keep the chill at bay while staying effortlessly cool.

Want to keep turbulence from messing up your hair? There’s an optional wind stopper to keep things calm and collected in the cabin. Maserati has you covered—literally and figuratively.

Now, just because the roof is fabric doesn’t mean you’ll be sacrificing comfort. This soft top comes in five different colours and is engineered for top-tier thermal and acoustic insulation. Translation?

You can still enjoy your Spotify playlist or carry on a conversation without shouting, even when the top’s down.

In a city where luxury cars are a status symbol, the Maserati GranCabrio is sure to stand out in a sea of predictable choices. It’s the car for those who want to make an entrance, but also enjoy the journey.

Whether you’re cruising along the expressway or taking the scenic route to Sentosa, the GranCabrio makes every trip feel like a mini-vacation, complete with an Italian soundtrack courtesy of that glorious Nettuno engine.

Just don’t forget your sunglasses.

On 1 March 2024 in Modena, Italy, Maserati debuted GranCabrio, Maserati’s latest creation dedicated to driving enthusiasts who demand the greatest
levels of comfort and style. GranCabrio is a brand-new and equally elegant open-top version of its GranTurismo coupe twin.

At launch, the Maserati GranCabrio will be available in the Trofeo trim level, featuring the six-cylinder internal combustion Nettuno engine, a 3.0-liter twin-turbo with 542hp that serves as the unmistakable roaring heart of the highest-performance cars in the Trident range.

On board the GranCabrio, the extraordinary performance of the Nettuno engine, which is the most powerful ever built for the Maserati GranTurismo, is combined with genuine, optimal comfort for long-distance travel, now with more “the sky’s the limit” sensation.

The Trident marque’s new convertible is 100% made in Italy and follows in the footsteps of the GranTurismo.

The roof is made of fabric, perfect to take up as little space as possible when automatically stored in the trunk space, where it is stowed in 14 seconds even when moving at speeds up to 50 km/h.

There’s ample space for four passengers, as GranCabrio is ideal for travelling with company or alone with the wind in your hair, savouring all the emotions of an outstanding drive and breathing in the most authentic Italian style.

Drop the top and experience the heightened sensation of the V6 engine roaring away. The union with the road and landscape is an incomparable experience that can only be offered by the spyder version of a grand touring coupe.

The “open-air experience” is enhanced by remarkable thermal and acoustic comfort, with the soft top available in five colours that can be operated from the central display via a touch button, for complete control and total autonomy.

The GranCabrio also features an innovative neck warmer as standard, to heat the driver and passenger’s necks at three different levels of intensity while the roof is down.

An optional wind stopper, which can be used with two passengers and folded manually, reduces the formation of turbulence inside the passenger
compartment and makes it possible to enjoy the best of the vehicle’s aerodynamics.

Created in parallel with the GranTurismo, the new GranCabrio is the result of the encounter between impeccable efficiency and the natural beauty of a car that over time has remained faithful to its identity: a monarch of style with the classic proportions typical of Maserati’s cars, while remaining cutting edge as the guardian of best-in-class mechanics and the latest technology.
