The Sexiest Maserati....

Here's an early peek at the only one of its kind at the moment...Maserati's $135K (estimated price) Gran Turismo convertible, which is being presented around the country for the delectation of future clients. This model doesn't actually work, but if it did, it would travel at a top speed of 176 MPH and sprint from 0-60 MPH in 5.3 seconds, turning a lot of heads as it went past.
When the real models are available in early 2010, there will be a choice of six exterior colors, ten baby-soft Poltrona Frau leather seat colors, six interior trims and a set of matching luggage stowed in the trunk as a lagniappe. The Gran Turismo convertible stretches out on the longest wheelbase of the series but hey, guys!...if you make the snout of the car any longer it's in danger of looking like a giant anteater.
This upscale cocktail presentation took place at Ken Gorin's "The Collection", Miami"s most lavish car showroom and Maserati's top dealer in the United States. By the way, the parents of the kid holding the two dollies were delighted that their daughter and her friends could fit comfortably into the rear seats. Next stop: Houston...heads up, Texas!
