In the Maserati GranTurismo convertible the attention to detail is everywhere and revealed in features such as the subtle chrome inlay that elegantly decorates the dashboard and steering wheel’s buttons, the hand-crafted Trident logo on the seat headrests, the Alcantara trim lining the back of the gear shift paddles and the visible stitching in the front and rear armrest.

The GranTurismo Convertible interior is almost exclusively done with Poltrona Frau leather, a true expression of Italian craftsmanship thanks to the superior quality of its row material and fabrication process. The leather refined process guarantees durability, strength and a soft material. The leather is available in ten colors to offer compelling combinations for the seats, dashboard, tonneau cover, steering wheel and gear level knob, all of which can be contrasted with the colors of the thread and carpets.

Dashboard and doors panel can also be personalized: the standard dark grey trim can be tailored with darker technical colors for a more sporting feeling, whether an array of standard precious wood create the warm and elegant look of a classic Italian automobile. In the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, clients can now choose from two additional personalization materials such as Carbalho wood, with its characteristic sectioned patterns, and Moonwood with its linear grains. Carbalho is a very unique wood from Brazil characterized by medium density and high porosity. By contrast, Moonwood is a multi-layer composite wood with a light color and pinkish grain which exceptionally suits the car interior. Even the carpets are customizable and clients can choose from seven different colors. » Read more: Maserati GranTurismo Convertible: Interior Design and Custom Options
