Because he can’t drive the Ferrari F10 every day, Bahrain GP winner Fernando Alonso has selected a fine Maserati GranCabrio for himself.

The F1 driver didn’t opt for a red one, but for a darker shade for the exterior in combination with two-tone upholstery for the interior.

The color of the car’s body is called Grigio Granito, while the interior benefits from a combination of Pearl Beige and Bordeaux leather, matching a soft top of the same shade.

The GranCabrio, which is the convertible version of the Maserati GranTurismo, was launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show.

The GranCabrio was designed by Pininfarina, the Italian firm responsible for the other two cars in the Maserati lineup: the Quattroporte and the Gran Turismo.

The GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7-litre V8 with 440bhp and is the convertible with the longest wheelbase on the market.
