Maserati / 2011 Maserati GranCabrio by Novitec Tridente

2011 Maserati GranCabrio by Novitec Tridente

The aerodynamic package comes with a plethora of carbon fiber components, including new front spoiler lips attached to both sides of the production front apron, a radiator grille surround, a rocker panel trim, a rear spoiler lip, and a diffuser for the standard bumper. Also included in the exterior look is a new set of alloy wheels, size 21- and 22-inch for the front and rear, respectively. The three-piece wheels with five double spokes are available in any desired color and can be coated with carbon fiber upon request.

Further customization is offered with a specifically calibrated, height-adjustable coilover suspension. This suspension will allow each customer to select his or her individual ride-height lowering and damper settings.

For the interior, Novitec is offering the finest leather or Alcantara in any desired color.

No matter how impressive the exterior modifications may be, the most exciting part about the tuning program for the Maserati GranCabrio is the exquisite power upgrade provided. Novitec Tridente took the 4,700 cc V8 engine and added a perfectly dimensioned supercharger driven by a cogged-tooth belt that will limit the boost pressure to 0.35 bar. The tuner then added a sport compressor conversion that includes a custom intake manifold and larger injectors. Finishing off the modification is a new sports exhaust system, available with or without the control flap, that features four slanted tailpipes with diameters of 90 millimeters.

After all of that hard work, the total output for the Maserati GranCabrio has been raised by 150 HP, to a total of 590 HP and 421 lbs-ft of torque. As a result, the sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in just 4.5 seconds, while top speed now goes to 187 mph.
