At Maserati, the GranTurismo Convertible project called for the perfect combination of innovation and tradition. This special mixture is expressed in the colors, the combination of tones and the materials chosen to enhance the interior of Trident’s newest convertible.

For Maserati, the GranTurismo Convertible’s debut marks the opening of a new venue in terms of styling: a drop top car where the cabin is a natural extension of the exterior shapes and reflections.
This cabrio allows the car’s fantastic interior to be fully on display.

According to Tiziana Mauri, Maserati’s designer responsible for the car’s interior: “First and foremost, the GranTurismo Convertible was the perfect occasion to reinvigorate the range of Maserati colors. This was thanks to the introduction of a new Pearl Beige for the seat leather, dashboard trim and carpets. It is a light tone with warm, reddish hues. This tint allowed us to create a clear distinction between the exterior and interior but also meant that we could create a sophisticated and fresh feel to the cabin. You could describe the interior as now being more vibrant as the darker colors have also been given new shades as with the lighter Blu Profondità replacing Blu Navy”.

One crucial factor in getting the interior appearance right was the choice of materials to combine with the leather finishes. This led to the choice of two new wood trim types: Moonwood and Carbalho. “The first is light with a horizontal grain that complements the classic mahogany”, continued Tiziana Mauri. “Managing to produce it for use on a cabriolet was not easy as the wood has to meet a series of demanding technical requirements that are not called for on a closed top car. It was tough but we pulled it off. Carbalho, on the other hand, alternates between light and dark and has darker patches on a very light background. These small details result in a product that is even more Italian in its perfection”.
