Maserati GranCabrio London Premiere

Not only did the new four-seater convertible from Maserati made its UK public debut at the Goodwood Breakfast Club the past weekend, but it was also premiered in London at the Royal Horticultural Halls.

Andrea Antonnicola, Managing Director of Maserati GB and supermodel/Maserati ambassador Jodie Kidd started the unveiling ceremony with the help of two beautiful models. A Maserati GranTurismo S was also on display, flanked by a 1964 Maserati Mistral Spyder.

“I am extremely proud of hosting this UK Premiere of the Maserati GranCabrio, a car which has been enthusiastically received by the worldwide media after its debut at the Frankfurt Show just a couple of weeks ago,”
said Antonnicola, in a statement for the press.

“The new GranCabrio represents the completion of the Maserati range, and despite a long history of convertible cars going back over 50 years, with the iconic Mistral and Ghibli Spyder to name but a few, this is the first four-seater convertible for the Trident Marque,” he added.

There have been more than 400 guests attending the event, including celebrity chef and Maserati aficionado James Martin, London Saracens rugby star Fabio Ongaro, comedian Patrick Kielty, Major Phil Packer, Vice-president of CNH Global Eduardo Teodorani Fabbri and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

The first right-hand drive examples of the Maserati GranCabrio will be available in UK showrooms in April 2010, and one of them has been won at a charity event for 60,000 British pounds. The retail prices for the model, however, will be revealed closer to its arrival in the showrooms.
