There are a couple of guys on here that have one of those. Looks great and is as you say. In the US they sell this as a tin top as well instead of the Stradale with the F1 gearbox which we get. That would be my ultimate GranTurismo coupe.

The GC has never really done it for me, to my eyes the proportions don't quite work but this one is admittedly a bit special

Always think black is the one colour that really suits the GC MC and even all the black leather and alcantara....Seems to make the car look very aggressive and suits the shape.

I agree with Stuart - 4 seater cabrios have never worked for me, they always look 'just wrong'. Great car for the look at me brigade in Monaco though.

I like the look of the GC, there is a nice Blu Oceano one parks up in central Edinburgh. I've had an S4 Cab and CLK500 Cab and they work fine as four seater coupes or two seater convertibles but try sitting in the back over 40mph with the roof down! I've never looked in the boot of a GC but I'm told there's not a lot going on in there.

My old Merc was like that. Hopeless in the back at anything other than town speeds. And yes, the boot of the GC is hopeless. Perhaps worse.

As I understand it the GC MC looks like a Strad in some ways, but just isn't. Suspension is the "usual" setup, iirc. Still, nice looking and sounding car.
