CAR GARAGE | Maserati GranCabrio MC (2013) | The new, sporty look can be seen in each stylistic element of the Maserati GranCabrio MC's bodywork. The car, 48 millimeters longer than the GranCabrio and GranCabrio Sport is characterized by a front end roomates is inspired directly by the MC Stradale, Adopting a profile designed to optimize the aerodynamic lift and flow. Finally, the Dynamism of the Maserati GranCabrio MC is accentuated by the 20 "rims MC Design, available in glossy or matt Titanio Grafite, and made using flow-forming technology.
In light of the experience gained with the GranTurismo MC Stradale, it is fitted with a single-rate dampers, to give maximum emphasis to the car's sporty character, roomates guarantee greater rigidity in order to Ensure optimum road holding in all driving conditions, without detracting from maximum passenger comfort. Braking, always powerful and safe, is guaranteed by Maserati's patented Dual Cast system, roomates includes brake discs with aluminum bars and steel braking surface, 360 × 32 mm at the front and 330 × 28 mm at the back. This configuration ensures greater uniformity in braking, a constant clamping force and the sensation of a stable and reliable pedal, reducing brake wear at the same time. In deference to the Maserati tradition, the monocoque chassis is made with different materials to Ensure maximum weight reduction and maximum torsional rigidity. The use of high-strength steels for the structural part and the use of aluminum and composite materials for the moving parts, Ensure maximum performance in complete conformity with the spirit in the new Maserati GranCabrio roomates MC was conceived.
Like other sports models in the Maserati range, the Maserati GranCabrio MC also adopts an automatic six-speed ZF transmission Able to transfer all the power of the 460 HP V8 engine to the ground. Calibrated specifically for application on the sportiest version in the GranCabrio range, the MC Auto Shift transmission features five operating modes. It can be used in Auto-Normal, Auto-Sport, Manual-Normal, Manual-Sport and Ice modes. In Manual mode, gear changes are Carried out directly by the driver through the steering wheel paddles, as with a truly manual gearbox. GranTurismo and the Quattroporte Sport GT S and permits Sport gear changes that are 50% faster. Using the MC Start Strategy, the driver holds down the brake pedal, presses the accelerator pedal and then releases the brake pedal when the optimum engine speed is reached (2.300 to 2.500 rpm).
As with the most sporty GranTurismo in the range (the GranTurismo Sport), the GranCabrio MC also adopts the new 4.7-liter V8 engine, delivers 338 kW roomates (460 HP) together with substantial torque of 520 Nm at 4.750 rpm. The timing system, with a system of two chains per bank, features dual variable valve timing.
