This 2010 Maserati GranCabrio 4.7 combines a naturally aspirated 4,691 cm³ V8 with an open four-seat configuration and an extensive range of factory equipment. The verified window sticker documents optional equipment with a stated value of 16,350 as well as an original selling price of US$137,300. According to the documentation, a verified CARFAX report confirms a damage-free history and a mileage of 44,318 miles. The US title and Dutch import documents are also present and verified; according to the documentation, EU import duties and VAT have been paid.
The GranCabrio transfers the concept of the Maserati GranTurismo to an open four-seater. The focus is therefore less on uncompromising sportiness than on the classic idea of an Italian grand tourer: performance, long-distance touring ability and an interior that combines four seats with the experience of open-top driving.
At its heart is the naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V8. For this particular vehicle, the structured data lists 439 hp (323 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. According to the vehicle description, the technical equipment also includes Skyhook suspension, a Sport mode and a braking system with slotted discs and six-piston brake calipers.
The car is described as being finished in Grigio Granito Metallic. This is complemented by black 20-inch wheels in the Nero Neptune design and brake calipers painted in Rosso. The combination gives the large convertible a distinctly sportier accent without overshadowing its classic Gran Turismo lines.
The photographic documentation shows the vehicle extensively from various perspectives. However, no separate professional assessment of the paintwork and bodywork is available. The originality of the paintwork, respectively matching colors, has also not been verified and is therefore not warranted.
Inside, Cuoio leather is combined with wood trim and contrasting stitching. The equipment is correspondingly comfort-oriented for an open grand tourer: electrically adjustable and heated front seats with memory function, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose surround system with eleven speakers and navigation, as well as parking sensors, are all listed in the documentation. A wind deflector is also included.
Further characteristic details include the blue Maserati instrumentation and the three-spoke leather steering wheel. The available information therefore documents an extensively specified interior; no separate condition assessment of the interior is available.
The GranCabrio is powered by a 4,691 cm³ naturally aspirated V8 producing 439 hp (323 kW). The transmission is automatic. The listing also specifies paddle shifters and a Sport mode, which among other things alters the transmission and throttle-response settings.
The seller describes the V8 as having matching numbers. However, this status has not been independently verified and is also not confirmed in the corresponding structured vehicle field. It is therefore expressly not presented as a verified characteristic in this auction description. No detailed information on maintenance work or a complete service history is available either.
The Maserati was originally delivered for the US market. According to the verified CARFAX report, a damage-free history is documented and the stated odometer reading of 44,318 miles is confirmed. In the structured listing data, the mileage is rounded to 44,300 miles or 71,293 kilometers.
No further documented information regarding previous owners or the vehicle's past use is available. Accordingly, its history should not be interpreted beyond the scope documented by CARFAX and the available vehicle documentation.
Present and verified are the window sticker, CARFAX report, original US title and Dutch import documents. According to the documentation, import duties and VAT were paid when the vehicle was imported into the EU. No separate condition or valuation report is available.
For European buyers, the registration situation is particularly important: according to the seller, the vehicle has not yet been registered for road use in the EU or subjected to the corresponding technical safety inspection. As a vehicle originally built for the US market, it does not have a European Certificate of Conformity (COC). Depending on the country of registration, an individual approval or national homologation may therefore be required. According to the sales information, 21 percent VAT is also applicable to the sale.
This GranCabrio combines a large-displacement naturally aspirated V8 with an impressively extensive specification and an elegant color combination of Grigio Granito Metallic and Cuoio leather. Particularly noteworthy are the verified accompanying documents: the window sticker, CARFAX report, US title and import documentation provide a solid basis for assessing the vehicle.
At the same time, the limitations of the documentation remain clear: no more extensive ownership or service history has been documented, matching numbers and matching colors have not been verified, and no valuation report is available. In addition, the EU registration process still needs to be completed. The Maserati therefore presents itself less as a fully documented collector's car and more as an attractively specified, relatively low-mileage open grand tourer with a traceable US and import history.
There are cars where opening the roof mainly costs you some space. With the GranCabrio, it changes the character of the car. The V8, Cuoio leather and long bonnet do not make it an uncompromising sports car, but something almost old-fashioned in its charm: a large Italian grand tourer that has no need to hide its performance. This particular combination of dark Grigio Granito, warm leather and black wheels strikes the balance between elegance and drama almost perfectly.
