Novitec Brings it on the Maserati GranCabrio


Enough is never enough for vehicle tuning houses like Novitec Tridente, which has presented its latest line of enhancements for the Maserati GranCabrio. Bone stock, the drop-top variant of the GT gets a 4.7-liter V8 engine that cranks out 440HP at 7,000 rpm and 490Nm (362 lb-ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm.

The installation of a supercharger system along with a watercooled intercooler and a modified ECU, help boost output to an impressive 590HP at 7,300 rpm and 572Nm (421.9 lb-ft), consequentially allowing for a new 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.5 seconds.

For those that don’t mind digging a bit deeper into their pockets, Novitec also offers a custom made stainless steel exhaust system and KW aluminum coilover sport suspension.

A Novitec tune wouldn’t be complete without a new set of alloy wheels (20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the back) and an aerodynamics package that includes a front spoiler, side skirts, a rear apron and a boot lid spoiler, all made out of carbon fiber.
