Maserati GranCabrio MC

Almost two years ago, Maserati launched the sharper, lighter and faster MC Stradale version of its GranTurismo coupé.

Now a similar treatment - although not quite as extreme - is being applied to the drop-top model.

The result is called the GranCabrio MC, and it features the same 443 bhp (331 kW / 450 PS) 4.7 litre V8 engine. However, with a nod to its grand touring role, the only transmission available is a ZF six-speed automatic gearbox and the convertible retains its four seats.

Visually, the GranCabrio MC inherits the sporty look of the MC Stradale, with aggressively-styled bumpers, unique alloy wheels and a large boot spoiler that’s designed for increased downforce.

A UK price for the Maserati GranCabrio MC has yet to be announced.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
