Topic: Maserati Cabrio Coupè- Work in Progress

[Ultra]

Maserati has got a whole slew of new sports GTs on the way for our motoring pleasure... or for those with the means, anyway. First we're likely to see a new coupe to replace the current GT/Coupe/GranSport, followed by a Spider convertible variant, with a full four-seat hard-top convertible based on the Quattroporte likely to follow.

Our friends over at Info Motori have prepared some computer renderings of what they think the new coupe-cabrio might look like. While they admit it's a work-in-progress, we hope the actual car will look half as good in the sheetmetal. The renderings incorporate the elegance of the Quattroporte with some aggressive cues reminiscent of the MC12 supercar and some interesting unique touches as well.

Many in the rumormill expect that the production preview showcar will be ready for the Geneva show next year, when we'll be able to see the car for ourselves. For now we'll just have to thank Info Motori for keeping our appetites wet. Grazie!

Interesting...I wonder what the deal is with the aluminum ladder - looking thing along the inner edge of the tail light.

Perhaps it's so tiny mechanics can get access to change the bulbs

EDIT: And by "tail light", I mean "headlight", because I'm none too bright.

That is there to refract the light from the headlights onto the retinae of less fortunate motorists, S&M!
