Maserati will debut the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi, a special edition of the 4.7-liter V8 GranCabrio designed with legendary Italian designer Silvia Venturini Fendi.

The model uses a dark grey body color with a golden finish named Grigio Flamma Fendi and features the exclusive Pergamena Fendi wood trim interior finish, along with Fendi yellow trim and the brand’s F-logo stitched onto the seat.

Fendi’s Cuoio Romano leather (from its Selleria line) has been used for internal details such as the instrument cluster cover, the gear lever and floor mat profiles.

Maserati will introduce its latest performance model, the GranCabrio Sport, next week at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.

The 4.7-liter V8 has been retuned to deliver 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque.

The powerplant works with a ZF six-speed automatic transmission that uses a MC Auto Shift software based on the one features on the Quattroporte Sport GT S.

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.
