2014 Maserati GranCabrio MC
The
car, 48 millimetres longer than the GranCabrio and GranCabrio Sport, is
characterised by a front end which is inspired directly by the MC
Stradale, adopting a profile designed to optimise the aerodynamic lift
and flow. These differ from those on other versions of the GranCabrio
due to the increased car length and other aerodynamic elements at the
rear end. Thanks to experience gained in racing and above all to
specific analysis of fluid dynamics, the new GranCabrio MC has an
aerodynamic lift coefficient (measured at 140 km/h) which is 10% lower
at the front and 25% lower at the rear compared to the GranCabrio and
GranCabrio Sport. The bonnet incorporates two generous air outlets at
the centre to optimise cooling of the powerful V8, and two more air
outlets to cool down the brake discs have also been added to the two
front wings.

The dynamism of the GranCabrio MC is accentuated by the 20″ MC Design
rims, available in glossy Titanio or matt Grafite, and made using
flow-forming technology. In addition to being lighter, they feature the
traditional Trident, skilfully worked into the double-spokes.

As with the most sporty GranTurismo in the range (the GranTurismo
Sport), the GranCabrio MC also adopts the new 4.7-litre V8 engine, which
delivers 338 kW (460 HP) together with substantial torque of 520 Nm at
4,750 rpm. The pistons, positioned at an angle of 90°, are made of
reinforced, hardened aluminium, as is the engine block. The crankshaft,
with five-point balancing, is made of high-strength steel. The timing
system, with a system of two chains per bank, features dual variable
valve timing. The new power unit, in combination with the MC Auto Shift
transmission, is now able to propel the GranCabrio MC, in closed soft
top configuration, to a top speed of 289 km/h with acceleration of 0 to
100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.
