The new GranCabrio MC is the sportiest drop-top Maserati ever. NOVITEC TRIDENTE, the world’s leading refinement specialist for the automobiles bearing the trident, further builds on these talents with a sophisticated customization program: the NOVITEC TRIDENTE supercharged engine producing 475 kW / 646 hp of power and a peak torque of 624 Nm gives the drop-top 2+2 seater a top speed in excess of 305 km/h. The program also includes high-tech forged wheels, a hydraulically height-adjustable coil-over suspension and exclusive interior options.
The 4.7-liter eight-cylinder four-valve V8 engine drives the mechanical supercharger via a V-ribbed belt. The maximum boost pressure is limited to 0.43 bar. To keep the temperature of the charge air as cool as possible, the NOVITEC TRIDENTE supercharger system has a water-cooled intercooler whose ideal operating temperature is ensured by a separate cooling circuit with two heat exchangers.
The conversion, which sells for 23,900 euros, also includes a more voluminous intake manifold, larger injectors and newly calibrated mapping for the engine electronics. The new mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the combined effects of the NOVITEC TRIDENTE high-performance components to perfection. The result is an outstanding power yield with an immensely potent and extremely linear power curve.
The complex supercharger conversion elevates the GranCabrio MC to a new and fascinating performance level: 136.9 kW / 186 hp of added power or a total of 475 kW / 646 hp at 7,500 rpm set new standards as does the bump in peak torque to 624 Nm at 5,600 rpm.
In conjunction with the six-speed automatic transmission that can also be shifted with shift paddles on the steering wheel the drop-top 2+2 seater delivers exceptional performance: the tuned GranCabrio MC accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and to 200 km/h in a mere 11.4 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 305 km/h.
State-of-the-art forging technology makes the new NOVITEC TRIDENTE NM4 wheels with five delicate twin spokes extremely light and gives them maximum strength. The reduced unsprung mass contributes to agile dynamic handling. Despite their king-size dimensions, 9Jx21 in front and 12Jx22 on the rear axle, they weigh in at just 9.9 and 13.5 kilograms.
This makes the NOVITEC TRIDENTE rims some of the lightest in these sizes. Technology partner Pirelli contributes PZero high-performance tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 and 315/25 ZR 22. The popular three-piece NOVITEC ROSSO NM3 wheels with diameters of 20, 21 and 22 inches continue to be available as an option.source:lincah.com
