I have just read the review by Tom Ford in the Sunday Times on the new Granturismo S Cabriolet.

I cannot believe that this is the S version rather than the standard 4.2. Whilst he raves about how kewl the car looks he thinks it is fundamentally flawed and under powered and with a 0 to 60 of 5.4 sec. Now if this is the 4.7 V8 it begs the question how sluggish would the standard car be?
He is also critical of the handling and interior finishes.
This is a guy who raved about the Granturismo 4.2 in 5th Gear when it first came out.
It seems that Maserati have really made this an SL rather than an AMG
I am putting my thinking cap back on as to what follows the Gransport. I am hoping the coupe has not been watered down as much as the cabriolet
