Maserati has put its 483bhp 'Nettuno' V6 into its gorgeous new GranCabrio

Searching for a gorgeous two-door, four-seat convertible to rove around Monaco in? Welcome to Maserati’s latest 483bhp GranCabrio, which fills in as the lineup’s entry point.

It has the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 as the 542bhp ‘Trofeo’, though the detune makes it four-tenths slower to 62mph (four secs flat) while 10mph has been knocked off the top end for a vmax of 186. Still fast enough to ruin a well-crafted combover, mind.

Like the Trofeo, this one feeds that power through an eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive, with adaptive damping and an e-diff likely cast in supporting roles. Air suspension will remain a standard fitting too; excellent news for one's bottom.

Inside, you'll find a trio of screens led by a 12.3in infotainment display, plus a steering wheel peppered with non-haptic buttons. With all that 3D-printed carbon and perforated leather, it certainly looks glam enough for the Riviera.

Pricing is yet to be revealed, but consider the Trofeo starts at £170k, and the tri-motor Folgore EV at £185k.
