At the last Paris Motor Show two years ago, Maserati debuted its GranTurismo MC Stradale sporting a 4.7-liter V8 with 450 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Now two years later at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Italian automaker will unveil its GranCabrio MC Stradale.

But of course photos of the GranCabrio leaked ahead of the debut. The GranCabrio MC Stradale is essentially the convertible variant of the four-seater sports car and will undoubtedly sport the same powerplant. Compared to the GranCabrio MC Sport, it’ll be lighter in weight with more power with faster gear shifts and a sportier suspension.

And as we can see from the photos, it sports much more aggressive styling with new front and rear bumpers, hood scoops, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, and different wheels.

AutoGuide will have more details on the Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale when it makes its official debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
