2013 Maserati GranTurismo MC Convertible: Dropping the Needle on Its Latest MC [2012 Paris Auto Show]

2013 Maserati GranCabrio MC ConvertibleInspired by the success of the $200,000-plus GranTurismo MC Stradale (itself inspired by the Trofeo GranTurismo MC spec race car), Maserati designed this droptop GranTurismo MC to satiate Maser fans looking for higher levels of performance and more aggressive styling in an open-top car. Motivation for the essentially hand-assembled car will come from Maserati's Ferrari-assembled 4.7-liter, 454-hp V-8 mated to a six-speed auto.
