Before your jaws drop because of the tag price on the Maserati, let us line up some reasons to convince you that the price is just right. Buyers can choose from 9 standard colors and 5 optional, six soft top colors, 10 shades of leather by Poltrona Frau, and three wood trims to select from.

The car also comes stock with twenty inch Birdcage rims, Maserati’s patented Skyhook suspension system, dual twin sport exhaust, sensors for rear parking, , and surround sound by Bose.

The 2010 GranTurismo Convertible is being marketed by the car maker to the rest of the globe as the GranCabrio. It is being pushed as a remake of the open air classic Maseratis.

This release from the brand is its first convertible with seating for four. The monstrous V-8 power plant is paired with a six speed automatic transmission with adaptive technology and controlled via paddle shifters.

The soft roofing can be retracted in 24 seconds. The top was engineered so it doesn’t cramp the rear seats or the space available in the trunk. A tailored luggage from Ferragamo is also available if you want it to come with your Maserati.

If you feel like reserving a unit now, Maserati welcomes bookings. The first batch of the 2010 GranTurismo convertible will be delivered by late spring.

First shown at the Geneva International Motor show, the Gran Turismo S has some of the most amazing features ever seen on a Maserati. First up, the Brembo braking system we first saw on the Quattroporte Sport GT S. It’s GREAT!

Second — a great MC-Shift system that is REALLY fast.

Best thing though — the looks!

If that’s not one of the most beautiful cars you have EVER seen, please point me in the direction of one you do like. The Gee-Wiz?
