2016 Maserati GranCabrio Sport

Highlights

• Desirable ‘Sport’ edition of the four-seat GT cabriolet

• Great specification

• Low mileage example - less than 24,000 miles from new

• Reported to be the only example in the UK with red carpets

• Excellent condition throughout

Overview

As capable of taking the family to the French riviera as it is carving up the Stelvio pass, the sharpened ‘Sport’ edition of the Maserati GranCabrio was unveiled in 2011 to widespread praise from journalists and owners alike.

Benefitting from an additional 10bhp, revised suspension and braking setups, updated gearbox software and a sharpened throttle response, the Sport takes the already capable GranCabrio and takes it up a gear, blending incredible performance with cruise missile-like long-distance capabilities; this really is the Maserati that can do it all. Oh, and the roof comes off, making it ideal for drives along the French Riviera, through the Italian Alps, or perhaps just a slow drive around London on a summer evening.

First registered in 2016, this white-over-black example has been in the care of the current owner for around 4 years, during which time it has ‘never failed to put a smile on their face’ and remains in outstanding condition, thanks to its low mileage and careful ownership over the years.

With summer now in full swing, we can think of no better way to travel than with the roof off, all four occupants in comfort, and a wonderful V8 snarling away at full chat. If that’s also your idea of a good time, then this is the car for you. Happy bidding!
