Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Coming In March 2009

An unnamed Maserati official has revealed to Automotive News that the Italian carmaker will launch a convertible version of its four-seat GranTurismo coupe next year. "The convertible will go on sale in March 2009, but we have not decided yet at which show we will unveil it," said the company source. Like most of its competitors –e.g. BMW 6-Series, Jaguar XK and Porsche 911, the GranTurismo Convertible will most probably feature a canvas soft-top. Power will come from the same 405 HP 4.2-liter V8 as the Coupe version.
