Maserati has unveiled a new entry-level GranCabrio, slotting below the £169,585, 550bhp Trofeo, and the £185,610, all-electric Folgore. No UK list price has been confirmed, but we do know the new 483bhp V6 variant retains four-wheel-drive - Maserati claims a 0-62mph time of 4.0 seconds and a 186mph top speed. Adaptive air suspension marshals the balance between comfort and handling.

Custom features on the launch model include a Verde Giada exterior, black brake callipers, 20” front and 21” rear wheels with Crio a diamond-cut gloss finish. Roof down, the GranCabrio shows off an ‘Ice-coloured’ leather interior, upgraded with its Sonus Faber 19-speaker audio system. Further detail refinements include 3D carbon-fibre trim elements and adaptive LED headlights with a dark background.

Also on display in St. Moritz was the recently launched MC20 GT2 Stradale and the GranCabrio Trofeo ONE of ONE – The I.C.E., built to showcase Maserati’s Fuoriserie customisation programme.

The I.C.E.’s design is “dedicated to winter charm” – finished in an exclusive Ice Liquid tri-coat paint. Additional bespoke details include specific badges, contrasting side air intakes in Gloss White, and forged wheels with an Astreo design, paired with gloss blue brake callipers. Completing the customisation process is the ‘Blue Marine’ soft top.

A more exciting option coming to the GranCabrio's option list is the arrival of a sports exhaust, a box available to tick at Maserati dealers from March. The 483bhp GranCabrio however, is available to configure now.
