Alfardan Sports Motors Company, the exclusive dealer of Maserati and member of Alfardan Group, recently launched Maserati Trident’s third prong- the Maserati GranCabrio. A press conference was held at the Alfardan Sports Motors Company showroom at the heart of The Pearl-Qatar seeing the attendance of officials from Doha and Italy to take the wrap off this latest addition to Maserati’s elegant and mind-blowing automotive showcase.
Alfardan Sports Motors Company brought home many of Maserati’s award-winning, flagship models such as the Maserati Quattroporte Automatic and the Maserati GranTurismo achieving significant sales growth and market share during the past two years owing to the company’s unparalleled sales and after-sales services and Maserati’s unique, awe-inspiring and glamorous designs.
Mr. Mohammed Kandeel, General Manager of Alfardan Sports Motors Company said: “The GranCabrio’s very first debut in Frankfurt was applauded by many, and most importantly by automotive critics and connoisseurs. Maserati introduces its GranCabrio to sweep accolades and testimonials and to turn into this year’s all-in-one fascinating four seater. We’re very thrilled to feature Maserati’s GranCabrio in our showroom. If Maserati GranTurismo made it to the top of our sales growth charts, then we’re equally confident that the GranCabrio will have as strong a mark on our records for the year.”
Mr. Umberto Cini, Managing Director of Maserati Middle East & Africa said: “Today, the GranCabrio takes it top down to complete the Trident’s famed prongs and to cater to the individual tastes of Maserati’s enthusiasts whose automotive preferences are guided by elegance, beauty, comfort and performance. The name, GranCabrio, evokes Maserati’s renowned traditions and expertise. At the same time, it underlines how much the car differs from every model that has preceded it. The GranCabrio is the first four-seater convertible to come out of the factory gates in Viale Ciro Menotti. It offers the chance to share a fantastic ride, one enhanced by top quality materials. GranCabrio is Maserati’s exclusive take on the need to live exciting experiences.”
The introduction of the GranCabrio completes Maserati’s product line-up that now consists of three different families of models: Quattroporte, GranTurismo and GranCabrio.
The GranCabrio represents the very essence of Maserati in terms of open-top cars. It’s a Maserati in the purest sense of the word: from the unmistakable style by Pininfarina to the spacious interior, from the craftsmanship of each detail to the driving pleasure and performance. The Maserati GranCabrio enriches all five senses in a shared open-air experience, without sacrificing comfort and performance. A dream car designed and built for men and women who love to live life in an understated – though sophisticated - manner. Like all the made-in Maserati open-top convertibles special cars, the GranCabrio aims at completing the lifestyle of refined connoisseurs.
The GranCabrio is continuing the Maserati tradition in open-top fine automobiles, beginning with the 1950 A6G Frua Spyder, and continuing through a long list of significant and thrilling open air models. However, in adding to this tradition, the GranCabrio opens a new chapter, with the first four-seater top-down model ever to be produced at the Viale Ciro Menotti Maserati factory in Modena. Four proper seats are provided so that the rear passengers are not merely supporting actors, but co-stars of the journey.
The GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7 liter V8, 440 HP engine and is the convertible with the longest wheelbase on the market. The GranCabrio’s roof is strictly canvas-made, emphasizing the link with the Maserati tradition.
