- Maserati reveals pricing for new GranCabrio
- MSRP of $203,000, but options push the price up to $232,660
- Plenty of personalization options to choose from
The new Maserati GranCabrio was revealed last week, with gorgeous looks and a 542-horsepower V6. Now, the automaker has shared pricing for the glamorous drop top, which has a base MSRP of $203,000.
Of course, there are multiple options available that push the price up considerably. A total of five metallic colors are available – Grigio Incognito (grey), Bianco Astro (silver), Blu Maserati (dark blue), Nero Assoluto (black), and Grigio Maratea Matte (matte grey) – with Grigio Maratea Matte commanding a $4,500 premium. No fewer than 26 colors are also on offer from the Fuoriserie program. Maserati doesn’t tell us how expensive these hues are, though.
A black fabric canvas top is standard, but customers may specify Titan Grey, Blue Marine, Granata (red), and Greige (beige) for an additional $630.
Plenty Of Scope For Personalization
Moving on to the wheels, there are a total of four designs. As standard, the GranCabrio wears staggered Pegaso 20-inch and 21-inch alloys at the front and rear, respectively. The same design can be specified with a diamond-cut finish ($500), while Astreo diamond-cut forged wheels can be equipped for $4,000. These are also available with a sporty matte finish ($4,500).
Gloss Red brake calipers are standard, but the brakes can be enlivened with Gloss Black, Gloss Yellow, and Blue for $500. Anodized Red calipers will set buyers back $1,000. There are also three Fuoriserie hues to select from: Orange, White, and Lime.
Regarding the interior, Maserati provides customers with multiple upholstery choices. Nero (black) can be paired with grey, yellow, or red stitching. Nero with yellow and grey stitching is available with a grey headliner instead of the standard black. Sporty Rosso (red) and classy Ghiaccio (cream) leather are no-cost options.
Some Options Should Be Standard
As for the trim inlays, Maserati only offers decorative elements made of carbon fiber. 3D carbon fiber trim is standard, but those looking for a more exclusive look must spend $3,500 for High Gloss Copper Yarn carbon fiber or $2,500 for High Gloss carbon fiber twill trim. It’s a shame that the Italian luxury brand doesn’t offer metal or wood inlays, which would appeal to more customers.
There aren’t many options or packages, but the available ones are pricey. A 12-speaker Sonus sound system is $4,000, while a head-up display costs an astounding $2,000.
Speaking of equipment that shouldn’t be extras, Maserati charges $6,800 for the ADAS Full Package, which adds adaptive cruise control, active lane assist (active blind spot & lane keeping), blind spot monitoring, Drowsy Driver Detection, 360-degree surround view camera, traffic sign recognition, Active Driving Assist, traffic sign recognition, and Intersection Collision Assist.
Fully-Optioned GranCabrio Is On The Dark Side Of $200k
We’re not suggesting that Maserati makes all the aforementioned driver assist systems standard, but many should be. More reasonably priced are the Comfort and Sport Design packages. The former costs $1,280 and comes with ventilated seats and a wind deflector, while the latter will set you back $1,450. It includes lightweight sports pedals, an aluminum footrest, and stainless steel doorsills.
Add it all up, and the new GranCabrio costs as much as $232,660, which is a lot of money. To put that into perspective, the more powerful Mercedes-AMG SL 63 starts at $183,000. A 911 Turbo is admittedly more expensive ($210,000) but has class-leading performance and handling.
A more affordable Modena version with 483 hp should follow in the coming months, with the lineup expected to mirror that of the GranTurismo coupe variant. Let’s not forget that an electric Folgore variant powered by three electric motors with combined outputs of 751 hp is also on the way.
