Maserati welcomed the brand new 2010 GranCabrio – which in the United States is called GranTurismo Convertible – to a packed room at its Corporate Showroom on Park Avenue, New York. The premiere took place after a week on display in famed Grand Central Station in New York City.

The 2010 Maserati GranCabrio made its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year. Power comes from a 4.7L V8 producing 440-hp with a maximum torque of 361 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 0-62 mph come in just 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 176 mph.

Maserati dealers in the U.S. are taking orders now with deliveries to begin in early 2010. Pricing has not yet been announced.
