Maserati GranCabrio MC by Novitec Tridente Revealed
Powered by a supercharged, 4.7-liter V8 engine, the Maserati GranCabrio MC just got a whole lot better thanks to Novitec Tridente.
Delivering 646 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, the Novitec Tridente’s version of the Maserati GranCabrio MC builds on an already great drop-top. The tuner adds forged wheels, a hydraulically height-adjustable coilover suspension, and exclusive interior options.
The Novitec Tridente supercharger system comes complete with a watercooled intercooler to keep the supercharged engine running at optimal temperatures. In addition, a larger intake manifold is bolted on, larger fuel injectors, and a newly calibrated ECU map to take advantage of all the new engine modifications. To give the GranCabrio MC a whole new tone, Novitec Tridente also upgrades the exhaust with a flap-controlled system with a pair of 4.1-inch tips.

As for the suspension, the addition from Novitec Tridente allows owners to raise the vehicle by over 1.5 inch to help navigate around those pesky speed bumps.
The tuning package from Novitec Tridente will run around $32,000 (23.900 Euros).
