A few weeks back we released our Best of Show list for the , but with so many beautiful and deserving vehicles present, it was inevitable that more than a few we would have liked to highlight didn’t get their chance in the spotlight. One of these fantastic sets of wheels was the gorgeous new four-seat convertible from Maserati in its international debut, the 2013 GranCabrio MCAn inspired design resulting from the success and popularity of the recent GranTurismo MC Stradale sedan, this new MC variant shares similar styling and features with the standard GranCabrio (GC) and GC Sport but takes a more streamlined approach. The revised front façade (lifted in part from the Stradale) allows the vehicle to optimize the aerodynamic lift coefficient (10 and 20 percent lower at the front and back, respectively) and contributes to better flow, a positive side-effect of Maserati’s expertise and research in racing. The vehicle dimensions have been modified from the models to accommodate the changes, including an extra 48 mm of length. The back spoiler has been designed for increased negative lift when hitting top speeds.
